• Abstract:
  As part of its commitment to clean vehicle technologies, the City of Burbank tests a fuel cell bus in its mass transit system. BurbankBus, which provides transit services in and around the City of Burbank, California, has four fixedroute transit lines operating during morning and evening peak rush-hour periods. These routes primarily transport commuters between major transit hubs and the city's employment centers. Commuters traveling into the area arrive at one of the city's two Metrolink rail stations or at LA Metro's North Hollywood station, where the Red and Orange Lines terminate. BurbankBus service connects these stations with the Media District, downtown, and Golden State areas. Ridership has grown substantially since the fleet converted to a fixed-route service in 2005, and a total of 478,000 riders per year are expected by the fall of 2010.
