Electric buses are a positive though, as transit is still going to be needed.
What we should not be doing, though, is making laws that require EV buses instead of improving bus service in general.
Yeah. Good point.
I guess a thought I had is that instead of school busses, what if we used a public transit option for everyone? But then everyone would need to use it and we're not there.
School busses are def better than everyone driving their own students to school and back. So that was something I missed in my initial post.
Im just over the whole "ev revolution" but taking that out on busses is silly.
