Sarnia testing city's first electric bus

Sarnia’s first electric bus is rolling on city streets. The six-metre Damera Corp. e-JEST, with seating for 10 and space for a wheelchair, arrived a few months ago, said engineering and operations general manager David Jackson. City council approved the purchase in May. After training time for mechanics and operators, and acquainting city firefighters with the new transit technology, the bus “officially entered operations last week” on a city Care-a-Van route, Jackson said.
