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.
@9STC26D8mos8MO
There should be a mix of both for now, the process to develop the batteries IS very intensive and not harmless.
@9DF6BHM2yrs2Y
Yes, as long as the batteries are durable and take years to become unusable
@96BH6BNNew Democratic3yrs3Y
Yes, if the source of electricity is clean
@963P8XH3yrs3Y
batteries are just as bad as gas
@93SCFMN3yrs3Y
No, infrastructure like trolleys would be more cost effective.
@9327C5K3yrs3Y
Yes when the technology gets their.
@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
@8YB773G3yrs3Y
Yes, but still looking for the greener alternative.
@8X9DGL9New Democratic3yrs3Y
Yes but only for inner city transit
@8W3LTPS4yrs4Y
@8VVFRBZConservative4yrs4Y
They should run on natural gas
@8VQG74C4yrs4Y
Electric trains not busses
@8VLP3DJ4yrs4Y
@8VLJ3XMNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Start to get them in place gradually
@8VKX7634yrs4Y
@8VKMLQTNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Focus should be on making it affordable
@8VK24RWConservative4yrs4Y
@99RFNT9New Democratic2yrs2Y
public transportation should increase in use of electric power
@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.
@9863HW42yrs2Y
Ran on solar power and corn maybe? Let’s not ruin our earth even more, now
@97FC5632yrs2Y
It should use solar energy
