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.
@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.
@9FLTTGZ2yrs2Y
Only if it can be done in an efficient manner
@95R9JSBNew Democratic3yrs3Y
Yes, but not at the expense of getting transit services implemented efficiently.
@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
@8VQG74C4yrs4Y
Electric trains not busses
@8VP65PP4yrs4Y
@8VLJ3XMNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Start to get them in place gradually
@8VLBQ4N4yrs4Y
Yes, but the government should create green jobs and support local cities transition to electic power
@8VKMLQTNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Focus should be on making it affordable
@8VJCD534yrs4Y
No, because electricity is currently strained due to coal fired plants closing.
@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.
@98HXPMV2yrs2Y
No, what until the power source is reliable enough to power a vehicle of that magnitude.
@9863HW42yrs2Y
Ran on solar power and corn maybe? Let’s not ruin our earth even more, now
@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
