What ever happened to those new DesignLine turbine HEV's?
I assume that they didn't make the cut at NYCT.

Q65A -

The coaches also bombed in Baltimore. Some moron with the City signed a Purchase Order on all this.
So much for letting the kids buy new rolling stock.

"HEV" is an apparently attractive, but fundamentally silly concept, anyway. They'll learn, by the time they
spend all our tax money...
