Abstract :
This article describes a comparison of city buses with different powered drives (diesel and electric). The comparison is made on the case of the Municipality of Velenje which has a free public transport. Depending on current prices of energy sources the efficiencies of drives are compared, the purchase price of new vehicles and the cost of operating leasing of buses.
