This 18-passenger electric bus from Turkey is the cutest thing this side of the Catbus https://www.mprnews.org/story/2023/03/05/minnesota-transit-agency-is-testing-a-new-electric-bus-from-turkey
@alienghic @bikepedantic how.. does that even work? like, how does it not bottom out on a speed bump? 🤯
EDIT: ooohhhh that's so cool! The ramp is built into the floor, so the rest of the floor is higher up.
@bikepedantic #firenze has these too (not sure if they are electric). Love small buses (and big ones too).
@bikepedantic And it’ll never go into mass service because of federal Buy American requirements.
(Other countries have good ideas too…)
Circuit vehicles, here in the Boston area, are pretty cute too: https://www.ridecircuit.com/
Not too keen on their app-based business model, though.
@bikepedantic That is an impressively low boarding floor.
