This is a typical bus in downtown Vancouver. Recently they upgraded their fleet to include these new Europe-vogue buses. They are completely electric and are powered by the electric grid above them through their tail appendages. These electric buses break down very often but are repaired very easily. The old ones break down at an average of 1-2 per hour. They break down when their connectors get disconnected, which happens very easily. However, I haven't seen any of the new buses break down. They are definitely much more resilient than their predecessors. These buses are also very quiet, which is good. They do not have much seats inside, giving way instead to ample standing room, which is good as these buses run only in downtown, which is a small place and thus passengers do not spend too much time on their downtown bus journeys.
