I support hydrogen fuel cells as a better alternative to electric. In the absence of hydrogen, electric is fine for provinces that generate their electricity from renewable sources or nuclear power. Otherwise, it doesn’t matter.
@9VX5GYPNew Democratic6mos6MO
Rolling out electric buses is a good idea but any bus is gonna be pretty environmentally friendly as opposed to a car.
@9T9BN2C7mos7MO
No, there are numerous communities were electric based public transportation would not function due to weather conditions.
@9FLTTGZ2yrs2Y
Only if it can be done in an efficient manner
@95R9JSBNew Democratic3yrs3Y
Yes, but not at the expense of getting transit services implemented efficiently.
@93RP7WT3yrs3Y
I think that there should be a balance between gas powered and electrical powered buses and trains.
@8Z4XV373yrs3Y
the sudden change would be drastically expensive and the gov cant take on any more debt, so yes there should be a change but it needs to be gradual
It really depends. Sky trains yes, but sometimes busses are on highways for a while and you run the risk of them losing power
@8VQG74C4yrs4Y
Electric trains not busses
@8VP65PP4yrs4Y
@8VNZPWH4yrs4Y
We should work towards this in the future
@8VLP3DJ4yrs4Y
@8VLJ3XMNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Start to get them in place gradually
@8VLBQ4N4yrs4Y
Yes, but the government should create green jobs and support local cities transition to electic power
@8VJN7V94yrs4Y
Not until our power grids can handle this. Same with electric cars. Putting the cart before the horse otherwise
@8VHQNWRNew Democratic4yrs4Y
All buses should run in hybrid power and advance to electric
@999V8KK2yrs2Y
No, electric isn’t the most efficient energy source for all vehicles or situations. Additional alternative fuel sources such as hydrogen are important considerations.
@995TZQD2yrs2Y
yes if possible,if not and its too expensive no
@98HXPMV2yrs2Y
No, what until the power source is reliable enough to power a vehicle of that magnitude.
@97TBQ4M2yrs2Y
No, Batteries are harder for firefighters to put out and cause a higher death rate
@8VNQR4J4yrs4Y
Yes if they are able to, extra transit is needed in rural areas, especially to help lower income and Indigenous folk so regular vehicles could go there
