Transit Buses
Public transit ridership is higher today than it has been in the past 52 years. One of the reasons for increased ridership is the excellent marketing transit agencies provide to attract “choice riders”-- riders who have automobiles but choose to ride public transit to support a more “sustainable life style.” Many passengers believe that taking public transportation is a more responsible choice than driving the car. The statistics confirm that public transportation provides lower environmental impacts per passenger mile on greenhouse gases, petroleum consumption per mile, and other “sustainability benefits.”
ECO MicroFilters greens the fleet and reduces operating costs – providing a “Green to Gold” strategy. The “Green” benefits include reducing the consumption of non-renewable petroleum based lubrication oil by 50%, reducing hazardous waste oil by 50%, and reducing the resources and energy required to rebuild engines due to longer engine life. The “Gold” benefits include immediately operating savings and life-cycle savings. Most fleets save $300 - $600/year net or more. Over the 12-year life-cycle, a fleet with 200 buses will reduce hazardous waste oil from 10,000 gallons a year to 5,000 gallons a year. Over the 12-year life cycle, the agency can save $5,000,000 in oil service savings and longer engine life.
