4.CTA to test run electric buses

   The CTA  received a $2.2 million federal grant Thursday to buy two all-electric buses. The battery-powered buses-the first buses with all-electric propulsion systems in the CTA fleet. The CTA currently operates 228 dised-electric hybirdbeses and 1,553desel buses. Meanwhile, Metra was awarded about$341,000to install automatic shutdown and strat-up systems in about 27 locomotives.

   In my opinion, that was sound great. Beacuse using electric buses can safe and protect environment. We should protect the earth, human don't have another place to live.
