Yes, start with urban areas where electric buses and trains can have the biggest immediate impact, then gradually expand to rural and long-distance routes. Moreover, provide subsidies or grants to transit agencies for purchasing electric vehicles.
@B2MXWGH3mos3MO
Short distance public transportations should be run on electric power to reduce but long distance buses and trains should be run with gasoline.
@B2B2C593mos3MO
Short distance travelling buses and trains might be better to become electric powered because electric powered transportations are expensive but at the same time they give a lot of advantages to the economy as well as the environment.
@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
@9DZPFSTConservative2yrs2Y
Somewhat, even though it is better for the environment, electric power is more expensive than fossil fuels and are less efficient. If we upgrade the technology than yes.
Although I’m okay with pop diesel powered buses and trains, I think we need a lot more electric transportation in Canada tho

@96GCKP93yrs3Y
in a power outage the public transportation will all go down
@96FHC6F3yrs3Y
yes but if we want electric transportation were going to have to pay more taxes
@9459CDC3yrs3Y
Depends upon each individual province and what system works the best while having the least environmental impact
@8VJCD2J4yrs4Y
A hybrid design, ideally. If we lose power, we would not be immobilized...

Just places outside of Alberta
