A wave of the future for cabbies in all the big cities. You'd think the vehicle companies would be trying to develop a version for busses - another natural with all the stop and go driving they do. (Maybe they already have something, but I haven't heard of it.)

Drivers, however, might be willing to risk lessened security in exchange for gasoline savings that could amount to thousands of dollars a year.

Yeah, what does it matter if you get shanked and robbed if you're saving thousands of dollars a year?

Buses are diesel. This tech would not work with them.

The tech that seems to work for buses is natural gas. ortland Maine is converting it fleet over the next two years to CNG.
