TriMet Cleans Up its Act

TriMet reports that it has installed exhaust filters on 45 of it’s oldest buses. Combined with the use of cleaner fuel, this reduces particulates and emissions by up to 90%.

This brings the buses up to the standard applied to newer vehicles. TriMet will eventually roll out this technology to the oldest 1/3 of it’s fleet.

Good progress towards removing the “stinky” component of the “stinking and noisy” objection to buses.
