    Well, well, well, truth be told RE GM, and their hoaky poaky Rube Goldberg waste of time (anything labeled) hydrogen busses ... I was just a matter of time ~

    One VERY important waste that the article fails to mention, is the smog created while making the hydrogen. Count THAT in and you have an even bigger looser.

    I didn't see the hydrogen bus manufactor mentioned in the article.

    Would Toyota fuel cell buses be a waste of time too?

    Yes, Hydrogen equals lame, though the OP mentions GM as bragging on their greeness, so it's simply truth be told. Thank God for what ever manufacturers there may be that get away from wasting research dollars that would be better spent on straight EV power.

    BTW, the diesel-electric hybrid bus made by new flyer seem to be the real deal.
