CNG is used to fuel buses in Vevey, CH and also I think in Delhi.

Just wondering if hybrids, electrically powered, have to be checked
for current leaks, in the way trolleybuses used to be?
Does static electricity build up a charge on them? Or am I way off
course here!

They don't need to be checked for leakage current every day, no,
although the systems on ours are self checking for other safety risks.
