Media Release: 5 March 2008
Cate Molloy, Division 9 Candidate for the Sunshine Coast Regional Council, today pledged that if elected she would urge, if not demand, that the new Sunshine Coast Super Council adopt Adelaide City Council's new TINDO (Kaurna Aboriginal name for sun) totally solar powered electronic bus system.
"Adelaide City Council's electronic solar bus system is a world first. It is an exciting and fabulous transport system that the Sunshine Coast must adopt," said Ms Molloy.
"The TINDO system will be used everyday by the people of Adelaide through the Adelaide City Council's free Adelaide Connector Bus service," she said.
"We must do the same here. The TINDO is a purely solar powered electronic bus which is totally environmental friendly ," she said.
"It is financially competitive - but most importantly it is totally clean and silent with a performance in power to match diesel engines," she said.
"The Sunshine Coast must adopt Adelaide's forward thinking," said Cate Molloy.
"We must overhaul our transport system and make bus transport available to all while getting rid of carbon emissions," said Cate.
"The Sunshine Coast Council in alliance with the Australian Government could easily afford to replicate Adelaide's solar PV system," she said.
"It's just up to us to show the vision and determination to make it happen," said Cate Molloy.
"And I pledge that if elected, I will make it happen," said Cate.
