Sid, here's another angle: I think they probably delivered the buses without tires, maybe even without a steering wheel ;) We haven't heard boo from them, so it MUST be true! Wow, talk about setting up stories/rumours without facts! Just because you don't hear anyone posting on this thread about the buses (of course, it could be in the local papers which you, of course, read every day) doesn't mean squidly. Why don't you call Ballard and find out for all of us if you are so confident there are problems? Sure, it's a little more difficult to do that then to spew out some hypothetical story on the internet. There's any number of ways of interpreting any situation; at least we can count on you voicing the negative ones. You must really have a bee in your bonnet for Ballard. Keep up the good research!

Sid, "Knowing Ballard's superb public relations capabilities, what is the chance that the buses are actually out on the street carting around humans, without some more trumpet fanfares on the company's part? Zero. That tells me that they are not operating yet." So you are speculating. It would help me in evaluating your posts if you would distinguish when you have evidence and when you are engaging in conjecture. It saves having to ask. By the way, I agree with you that BLD is overpriced - vastly so. So does BLD's management, I believe. Bill
