The Line: ART Grounded For Year And A Half

November 16, 2018 –Mayor Tim Keller’s decision this week to cut ties with electric bus manufacturer Build Your Dreams and pursue alternatives for the Albuquerque Rapid Transit project means at least another 18 months before the bus service will be up and running. The electric buses, said Mayor Keller, had serious safety problems, including electrical issues and trouble with the brakes. Gene Grant and the Line opinion panelists discuss this decision, and the city’s projected move to non-electric buses.
