Foshan's Hydrogen Fuel Cell Buses Idle Due to High Costs and Low Ridership
HYDROGENFUEL CELL
Foshan's hydrogen fuel cell buses are largely idle due to high operational costs and declining ridership, with over 20 buses parked at the Danzao Coach Terminal.

Without continued government support, the future of this costly transportation initiative remains uncertain.
