Mason School Bus Fleet Enters the Propane Age
Lansing State Journal
A school bus that runs on propane could be the start of a new greener, less costly and quieter form of transportation for the Mason Public School district. Mason Public Schools Transportation Director Kevin Doty said the bus was delivered on Nov. 27 and is expected to be in service to transport local students before Christmas.
Doty said some drivers have to be trained on how to handle a propane-driven vehicle; a traditional diesel buse takes longer to accelerate and can have a different feel behind the wheel.
