The transportation sector is the main contributor of greenhouse gases. One initiative towards mitigating these gases is sustainable transportation, with significant reductions in emissions in this sector.

Yes, start with urban areas where electric buses and trains can have the biggest immediate impact, then gradually expand to rural and long-distance routes. Moreover, provide subsidies or grants to transit agencies for purchasing electric vehicles.
@B2MXWGH3mos3MO
Short distance public transportations should be run on electric power to reduce but long distance buses and trains should be run with gasoline.
@B2B2C593mos3MO
Short distance travelling buses and trains might be better to become electric powered because electric powered transportations are expensive but at the same time they give a lot of advantages to the economy as well as the environment.
@B27PJGNNew Democratic4mos4MO
Yes, but at very slow pace which would allow for a smoother transition and might help those who are going to lose their industry.
@9GN46RJ1yr1Y
Trains yes, buses, as much as we can but if it would require moving out of our own way to do it then no
@9DZPFSTConservative2yrs2Y
Somewhat, even though it is better for the environment, electric power is more expensive than fossil fuels and are less efficient. If we upgrade the technology than yes.
Although I’m okay with pop diesel powered buses and trains, I think we need a lot more electric transportation in Canada tho

@955PQ5F3yrs3Y
No, but electric power and other sources of renewable energy should be explored further and we should pursue the most economically and environmentally source of power.
@9459CDC3yrs3Y
Depends upon each individual province and what system works the best while having the least environmental impact
@8VJCD2J4yrs4Y
A hybrid design, ideally. If we lose power, we would not be immobilized...
@8VJ9TBN4yrs4Y
Yes, where economically feasible or retrofitting is possible, but the focus should be on reducing individual consumption of fossil fuels.
@9C9DSLJConservative2yrs2Y
Just places outside of Alberta
