[Nfbk] ZeroBuses!

[kayla.penny at louisville.edu]

John,
I found an article about them on TARC's website, apparently one if their selling points is that they're quiet.  http://www.ridetarc.org/InternalOneColumn.aspx?id=1487
It sounds like it's definitely going to be an issue.

ZeroBuses are all-electric vehicles that are coming soon to downtown Louisville to use the Trolley routes.  ZeroBuses have no emissions which is clean for the environment.  I bet, however, they do not make any sound either which may bring about a very dangerous downtown Louisville area for the blind and visually impaired.

According to the Louisville Courier Journal by way of NFB-NEWSLINE, the first $990,000.00 ZeroBus has arrived and will be operating soon...

The ZeroBus will be FREE to ride if you can HEAR it coming...

I would like to know more about 'noise emissions' by these ZeroBuses...
