They were powered by electricity. These buses were common during WW2 when gasoline was rationed. The arrow sticking out on the driver's side is a signal for a left turn.)

The Vorhees Transportation Center at Rutgers University produced a report on Newark's transit issues and opportunities, which is useful in terms of understanding how communities can better plan and consider transit in the context of their own needs as well as regional transit systems. See Informed Intution: Discussion Paper for Newark's Transit Future. They didn't interview advocates, just "professionals", which I think was a mistake, but the paper feels pretty good in any case.

The Center also produced a great overall analysis of transit trends in the State of New Jersey. See Public Perceptions of Transit Investment in New Jersey.
