The cost of using a new technology, and being emission free, isn’t cheap. The first two buses cost about ~$2 million dollars a piece (about $1.6 million/each more than a comparable traditional bus) and is funded by a bevvy of government programs.

They also did not mention where the H2 was coming from or what its equivalent cost per gallon would be.

It is good to see the technology go through some on-going real world tests, but it is still many years from true economic viability.

One of the comment on the article was funny too. Someone ask why what they were drinking was blue?

Wow, there literally is hydrogen Kool-Aid. And all this time I thought it was just a figure of speech.
