buses
20. HSR Fleet Profile (1)
20
• HSR 35 CNG transit buses in fleet of 221 buses with an older
CNG refueling station
• 1st in the world to use CNG buses; as of 2004, decision was
made to return to diesel due to operating costs associated with
earlier generation CNG buses
• But with diesel rising, “from $.75/litre to > $1.00/litre since
2009”, HSR did an in-depth analysis:
Fuel costs
Maintenance & other costs
• Result was a recommendation to return to CNG transit bus use
with a major transformation of the fleet over the next 7 years

The reason for the price de-coupling is this – SUPPLY.
We have more than 100 years supply of natural gas at current demand levels and so do the Americans all due to shale gas – able to access cost effectively.
They don’t need as much of our gas and, as homes and equipment get more effiicient, we are all using less natural gas too.
This creates a big dilemma if you are a producer of natural gas – and Canada is the world’s 3rd largest after the US which is #1 and Russia which is #2
WHY natural gas? Natural gas and oil used to track each other in terms of price
Experts now believe that the two commodities have de-coupled and natural gas now trades at a very significant discount to oi
