Overhead wired charging comes to Austin electric bus fleet
CapMetro’s Austin transit fleets electrified two public bus lines and opened two new park-and-ride facilities featuring overhead pantograph-style wired charging equipment to help Austinites breathe a little bit easier.
Dubbed the Goodnight Ranch and Expo Center facilities debuted alongside the agency’s Rapid 800 and 837 electric bus routes, adding upgraded passenger amenities and end-of-line charging infrastructure to support its growing fleet of electric transit buses.
