City of Glendora Implements Efficient Transit with Karsan e-Jest Minibuses

Sustainable, efficient, and perfectly sized for our neighborhoods—the future of city transit has arrived in Glendora.

We are thrilled to announce that Electric Vehicle Choice (EVC) has officially delivered three Karsan e-Jest electric minibuses to the City of Glendora. These vehicles aren’t just a new way to get around; they represent a smarter approach to public infrastructure.

Why the Microbus Matters

We’ve all seen it: a massive 45-passenger city bus lumbering through narrow streets, carrying only a handful of passengers. It’s a common sight that highlights a major inefficiency in modern transit.

The Karsan e-Jest solves this by "right-sizing" the fleet. For routes typically serving 12 passengers or less, the e-Jest microbus offers a vastly more efficient option while enhancing the quality of the ride.

Smarter, Safer, and Cleaner

By integrating the e-Jest into their fleet, Glendora is leading the way in creating smarter, safer routes. Here is how this clean technology is bettering the community:

• Superior Maneuverability: Its compact 20-foot design allows it to navigate tight residential streets and city centers where larger buses struggle.

• Full Accessibility: Designed with a low floor and an automated ramp, it provides "smart accessibility" for a full range of mobilities, including seniors and those with strollers or wheelchairs.

• Zero Emissions: Built with 100% electric power (featuring BMW i battery technology), these buses eliminate tailpipe emissions, contributing to cleaner air for our residents.

• Cost Savings: Moving to a microbus significantly reduces the city's fuel and maintenance costs compared to traditional, oversized diesel buses.

At EVC, we are proud to help cities like Glendora transition to zero-emission technology that actually makes sense for their daily needs.
