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, as long as the infrastructure is in place for all cities and the technology used is not environmentally harmful.
It depends on different cities and public transportation development plans. If it's beneficial for a certain term, it should be one option.
Because no matter what we’re still destroying the earth with electric cars because every 5 years you go to change the battery we’re taking lithium out of the ground and we can’t even get the lithium back
Yes, but the government should find solutions to recycle batteries to avoid affecting the environment
@9H6GJSN1yr1Y
There is a 50/50 with the electric power as it would make transit environmentally friendly. However, I believe some still should be gas-operated to ensure a balance between electric and gas-powered.
I think that some public transit should be powered by electric power but only as much as we can reasonably afford.
No, it would cost too much to introduce fully electric systems. Hybrid model is okay for now
it does not matter lol??
Although I’m okay with pop diesel powered buses and trains, I think we need a lot more electric transportation in Canada tho
@9CMFTM62yrs2Y
Yes, but there are other resources too instead of electric power like wind energy, solar energy, etc.
it would increase the energy demand by to much if all at once. it should be a slow migration
When the current info structure is still safe to operate and is not immediately harmful to the environment we should continue ti use it for as long as possible however once it is necessary,
to replace we should replace it with more environmentally friendly options
No, not all buses should run on electrical power, but we should increase the amount of electircal powered buses as it would be more ecofriendly.
yes, aslong as it meets the needs of the public.
I would say no to buses and yes to city trains but trains outside of the city shouldn't. My reason is that any electric cars you see are mostly stuck on the side of the road because their car died. If that happens with transit and resource-moving trains, that would cause considerable problems in many places.
Doesn't really affect anything
Electric vehicle research in extreme cold weather needs to be worked on before being implemented in CA
@95K5YQG3yrs3Y
I would say that we should move towards electrification of our public buses and trains throughout our country, but we should also make sure that there is infrastructure there to actually be able to repair/charge them. But regardless, we should be moving this way as it is a step in the right direction for not only communities, but also for the planet.
It should eventually run on electric power.
Not until we have the right amount of infrastructures to support electric vehicles
Yes, but replace them slowly to not ruin the public coffers.
@93FG53G3yrs3Y
Ideally, yes. But it should also be cost-effective and easy for cities to run and operate.
We should attempt to slowly have more electric options
@92NSVSP3yrs3Y
Yes, I would say that it's important to electrify public transit. As important as public transit is, there are some routes that have less passengers than others, meaning no passengers riding the bus as some times of the day, if this was electrified, we could save the extra pollution/CO2 from going into the atmosphere.
no because electric cars are no better for the environment because when be batteries are done they just sit in a junkyard hurting the environment
@8ZT43JV3yrs3Y
electric power can be just as damaging if we dont look into safer battery replacements
@8ZSWLS53yrs3Y
Not all but in crowded place they should run on electricity
@8ZRQ7W73yrs3Y
Yes, and use direct electrification (overhead wires) over batteries where possible
The government should find something else for buses and trains to run on like solar power
yes, but keep it affordable for the users
It really depends. Sky trains yes, but sometimes busses are on highways for a while and you run the risk of them losing power
no, we should focus on eliminating gas cars before worrying about public transportation
Yes, but over time, not instantly.
I would say yes and no. yes cause that's what our buses run-on with. no because we use a lot of fossil fuels to create electricity which releases gases into our atmosphere and we waste a bunch of earth resources in the result that we are destroying earth.
Some should run on electrical energy and making all run in electric should be something to work towards
Eventually yes but when it can be completed when economically feasible
Not all public buses and trains run on electric power but only parts of them run on electric power
@8VL7ZKM4yrs4Y
Yes. but do it in increments.
@8VL5KBK4yrs4Y
We should strive for more electric use, but no.
Transition to clean energy
@8VHLCFZ4yrs4Y
yes, as long as it is sustainable electricity.
solar power as well as electric power
It should be an option, but there should also be exploration of hydrogen fuel cell as well as other forms of low-GHG tech, as not every climate is going to work well with one thing.
@9CMF7HS2yrs2Y
Somewhat, some should some shouldn't
@9CM9QB72yrs2Y
No, but we should find more environmentally friendly methods of transport
yes and no , its a way to take a break from the internet
@9B6LF4X2yrs2Y
we can put a number of them, but not all of them
Yes within financial reason.
No, but the majority of public transport should be electric such as trains
No because if they power goes out their are no public buses or trains.
@983T7852yrs2Y
public transport should be running on a cleaner energy
it depends on how much money the city has
Yes, but this must be done gradually while increasing taxes and regulation of the fossil fuel industry
@8X2L3VG3yrs3Y
If it is possible to do so.
City public transport should run on electric power but town and smaller areas should not since that will take too much money out of other things that need funding
Yes, in Metropolitan/High Urban areas where infrastructure will be easy to implement.
Yes, but there should also be investments in infrastructure to make sure that they can be repaired and maintained within the city, otherwise it's not a worthwhile investment to make, and it makes it challenging.
