Rolling out electric buses is a good idea but any bus is gonna be pretty environmentally friendly as opposed to a car.
@9STC26D8mos8MO
There should be a mix of both for now, the process to develop the batteries IS very intensive and not harmless.
@9JJC4PH1yr1Y
we should build more liveable and walkable/cycleable cities so that folks do not need to rely so heavily on cars or transit. While all transit that does exist should run on renewable energy, this energy must be harnessed in a way that honours the sovereignty of Indigenous Nations and does not harm the land.
@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
@95R9JSBNew Democratic3yrs3Y
Yes, but not at the expense of getting transit services implemented efficiently.
It really depends. Sky trains yes, but sometimes busses are on highways for a while and you run the risk of them losing power
@8VNZPWH4yrs4Y
We should work towards this in the future
@8VMBM7Y4yrs4Y
Only if the electric power is actually environmentally friendly as coal burnt electric energy is counter productive.
@8VLG64N4yrs4Y
It would be nice but is it feasible cost wise in the short term?
@8VLBQ4N4yrs4Y
Yes, but the government should create green jobs and support local cities transition to electic power
@8VHQNWRNew Democratic4yrs4Y
All buses should run in hybrid power and advance to electric
@99RFNT9New Democratic2yrs2Y
public transportation should increase in use of electric power
@995TZQD2yrs2Y
yes if possible,if not and its too expensive no
@9959RJX2yrs2Y
No, battery powered vehicles are very costly to upkeep and though they are beneficial to the environment would greatly increase government debt in the long run.
@9863HW42yrs2Y
Ran on solar power and corn maybe? Let’s not ruin our earth even more, now
@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
