Foothill Transit

Bus # F1243, N.I.S. Headed south on Hope St. just south of 8th ST. at appox. 1:50 P.M. To the fellow that is making remarks, thank you. My points are 1} fuel consumption, 2} why knowingly park bus and know your going to be there for a while, why not turn it off, and if I catch these little acts on my own, makes me wonder how much fuel is being wasted in the big picture.

Maybe if you get a girlfriend you will stop obsessing over buses that are idling. At least get a hobby.

@pacjr310 You may me right however the Diesel Electrics cut off after like 10-20 mins of no motion, thats what a METRO(Houston) driver told me, I heard the engine cut off while she was not in it, I thought it stalled, a DE40LFR.

I know your not a bus fanatic like me but could you please possibly get a ride on board one of these CNG Foothill Transit 1200 series buses please? I love the way they sound on the inside. Please can you make like a 8:00 minute video? -Paul

Agreed with totalgoods, Buses and Big trucks can't just turn their engine on and off like cars can. Watch ask one of the driver why they do it and they'll tell you why. 5 Stars!!

Just a thought: Maintanence! It takes more energy and wear and tear to start, or re-start an big-rig, than to just let it idle. Idling, a diesel engine uses very little fuel and it cools the engine down.
