Is this ML program strictly for battery buses or for all zero emissions buses in general?

Aside from saving massive amounts of diesel on school days, they could be employed as grid-stabilization assets during off-hours/holidays/weekends to reduce the need for peaker plants/fossil coverage for renewables

They haven’t entered service yet.Haven't been on the electric GO buses--are they are shaky as the diesel buses?
In terms of actually purchasing the buses, I imagine it would be the same process as with diesel buses. Metrolinx issues and RFP and awards the contract. The various agencies sign on and spec their buses.All buses. The agencies choose. Not Metrolinx. Where Metrolinx can help is with volume discounts when multiple agencies can group orders together.
