Charlottetown, Cornwall and Stratford are looking at transitioning to electric buses — and will be testing out the idea this week.
A battery-electric Xcelsior Transit Bus will travel through these communities beginning Tuesday, giving commuters a chance to try out a zero-emission bus.
The larger goal is to examine the feasibility of transitioning the current buses to an electric fleet.
The communities will also discuss the infrastructure needed to operate such a fleet, and the associated maintenance costs.
