AI Summary

The city of Prague's trolleybus system has demonstrated that certain bus routes can be efficiently operated without hydrogen fuel cells. The data from Prague's trolleybus system suggests that routes with challenging conditions, such as hills and heavy passenger loads, can still be effectively managed using conventional battery-electric buses. This finding has implications for transit agencies considering the adoption of hydrogen fuel cell technology, as it indicates that a more thorough systems-design approach may be necessary before ruling out battery-electric options.
