[@birchtree5884]

Nice to see the slick blue roofs of these vehicles

[@ThePOWERRANGER200]

I hope these electric buses come to Port Coquitlam

@0:18 I think I saw this bus while I was on the train today 🤔

[@jacobravanal1184]

How long till i can ride one one.. when are these new electric buses coming out?

[@TransLink]

We're expecting them to go into service this summer! ^at

[@Brick-Life]

looks cool

[@unnamedblockster385]

What about if it is raining or if the charging area is wet?

[@TransLink]

It won't be an issue. The pantograph (what drops down to charge the bus) operates similar to other catenary charging systems like trolleybuses which can safely operate in the rain. ^at

[@unnamedblockster385]

@@TransLink OK! Thanks for clarifying!

I feel like this is prone to vandalism

Any bus can be vandalized
