Long distance electric bus passes tests

Winter testing has shown that the STM’s choice of long-distance electric bus is a good one, so they will gradually begin to operate in the system. This is a new bus, different from the one running on the 36 line, which has to be recharged at each end of the run.

I saw this new bus during an STM open house a couple of months ago. The thing that sets this model apart is the thick ceiling, which houses the massive battery. (Although the STM will probably add graphics saying it’s all-electric.) This bus can reach 250 km without needing a recharge.
