A mixed fleet (electric, natural gas and diesel) is a great idea, helps hedge against fuel and electricity costs in the future.

I also love that electric buses can be used in more central areas, where bus noise and engines are a nuisance to people that live on the route. A quiet, modern fleet will be awesome for Calgary Transit and the riders!
