Ms Laura Behan:

One of the key lessons that has emerged from the international research into the deployment of alternative fuels and technologies in bus fleets is that there is a need for a local solution to a local problem. It has been discovered that key decisions can be made in looking at the networks and types of bus system in hand. On that basis it is possible to determine what is the best technology to deploy in each context. In the various cities where various technologies have been deployed it is a case of horses for courses. We want to be sure we have the right solutions for our cities.
