The 1986 Year 2000 Plan
|
This was a plan which I ran across at the library. At the time of publication, Dayton was still scheduling 50+ trolleybuses on 8 routes each day. The plan was also tied to
a dual mode demonstration in 1986; one consideration at the time was to buy a fleet of dual mode buses, and to operate them under wire where they could. Costs for the dual
mode bus were in excess of twice the cost of a diesel bus, and the idea went to the back burner ... for a few years.
