Yes, you were spun a story. To the best of my knowledge, there never was a
Flywheel bus. Or if there was, it never went into revenue service.

..I remember several years ago hearing
that San Francisco had an experimental trolley bus fitted with a
fly-wheel. As the bus proceeded normally under wires the fly-wheel was spun,
and the energy stored could be used to move the bus for distance of a
couple of km beyond the end of the wire. Any info out there? Was I spun a
story?
