Should all public buses and trains run on electric power?

No, until we figure out how to generate electricity efficiently without repercussions, then we can make that change.

No, there are numerous communities were electric based public transportation would not function due to weather conditions.

I think we need more research in the area of electric vehicles and if it is truly a more sustainable and safe solution to oil and gas. I think the bigger issue is the monopolization of the energy industry. They have to much power and influence. We need to diversify energy and educate our people on the subject so we can make more informed decisions on what is best for our population and the world at large.

Yes, but only where structurally and economically feasible. Certain low-density population and/or infrastructure areas may be better served by carbon neutral emission vehicles.

Maybe more of a gradual change? We could try to update things as they break down, for instance. If a bus breaks down and the next most environmentally friendly thing is a battery powered one, replace that. If that breaks down and the next best thing is even cleaner, move to that. But ONLY when it is necessary.

Yes, but only once the technologie is advanced enough to actualy work and be effective enough to not be replaced every five years

Creating Batteries for Electric Vehicles makes a big carbon footprint on the Earth, just as Fossil Fuels do, so this is not a question I can answer if we are looking to not die from Climate Change. If we find a way to generate electricity without using Lithium Ion Batteries, then ask this question to me. But I believe, the production and disposal of electric car batteries emit more carbon dioxide than traditional cars.

we should slowly decrease the public transportation that is gas powered and increase the amount electric transportation until all of them are electric

When reasonable

i think that there should be a way to have safe transportation while also reducing carbon emissions so not using fossil fuels or electric power

No, public transportation should be run on renewable energy, like other options said, batteries are just as harmful.

Should be increased but only as infrastructure is created for them.

Yes, if the source of electricity is clean

Yes, and transition slowly as we invest more in other renewable energy sources

Yes, but not at the expense of getting transit services implemented efficiently.

If it is accessible

in Urban Areas, Yes. Rural areas should run Hybrids.

Slowly introduce more and more electric-powered transportation to not upset the fossil fuel industry and improve batteries.

i dont give a s

Public Transportation should be changed to electrical, but only after infrastructure is able to support it

Yes, but only if taxes and regulations are increased for corporations

More effort needs to be put into other options

Only if it's not hurting the environment too much.

Yes but only for inner city transit

Yes, but not all of them

50% should be

I don't think it's necessary in that days, buses would lost a lot of accessibility. Maybe after some years to help the environment, but we don't have the technology today for make this whole change.

an we do it cheaper in the long run

If possible, but a complete transition to electric power should be possible in the future

All public buses and trains should remain the same.

NO! Winnipeg, and other prairie cities, can not run on only electric buses all year. They are not reliable enough to run on our colder months, and we do not have the staff to fix them when they break down.

Yes no I pick both

Only if the electric power is actually environmentally friendly as coal burnt electric energy is counter productive.

yes if the infrastructure is there

Neutral on this subject

Start to get them in place gradually

Yes as long as it’s not paid by our taxes

Focus should be on making it affordable

Yes, but only if it is not to the detriment of expanding public transport usage and capacity

Neither yes nor no

Where possible. Plenty of rural areas where it doesn't make sense

Yes, but only of the electricity is from a renewable source

When they can transition over yes

All buses should run in hybrid power and advance to electric

I don't think we have the technology for that, but yes if we do.

Support low-carbon travel

Yes and No, electric power doesn't work well in every kind of environment. Hybrids would be more effective.

Yes, but only where it is economical and possible.

Some of them should, but it should happen gradually, and more testing should be done.

public transportation should increase in use of electric power

Yes, provided the community’s power grid uses renewable energy sources.

Yes if there if it is done with Tramways/Trolleybuses to reduce the amount of batteries. Hydrogen and other alternatives could be used in less populated areas where the infrastructure needed out ways the demand.

I don't really know enough to decide

No, electric isn’t the most efficient energy source for all vehicles or situations. Additional alternative fuel sources such as hydrogen are important considerations.

yes if possible,if not and its too expensive no

25 percent reserves of fossil fuel vehicles. Incase of no power

Yes but try to find a more environmentally friendly solution or make urban areas more pedestrian friendly

Only if cost effective

Yes, with a mix of hydrogen fuel.

we should find a better eco friendly solution
