WORK ON PROBLEMS PLAGUING ALBUQUERQUE’S A-R-T PROJECT ARE UNDERWAY THIS WEEK. IT MEANS DRIVERS WILL HAVE A ENDURE MORE CONSTRUCTION, THOUGH IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE COMPLETED BY NOW.
UPDATES NEED TO BE MADE TO A-R-T STATIONS ALONG THE CENTRAL AVENUE CORRIDOR. AND THERE ARE, OF COURSE, ISSUES WITH THE ALL-ELECTRIC BUSES … NOT ONLY IN ALBUQUERQUE, BUT IN OTHER CITIES THAT BOUGHT THE SAME BUSES. BYD VICE PRESIDENT MACY NESHATI TELLS KOB TV THE BUSES WILL BE DELIVERED AND THEY WILL WORK. HE SAYS THEIR COMPANY IS A VICTIM OF THEIR SUCCESS.
IN SOME TEST RUNS, THE BUSES ONLY RAN FOR 200 MILES INSTEAD OF 275 ON A THEIR ELECTRIC CHARGE. BYD IS INCLUDING TWO MORE BUSES TO THE CITY’S ORDER, FOR A TOTAL OF 20 BUSES.
