Should all public buses and trains run on electric power?

I believe that we should eventually change all transportation to electric power but as of right now we should only be construction new vehicles like buses to just be electric while we wait to convert the rest as we have bigger issues to focus on like improving health care resources and education funds. once those problems are solved then we should focus on converting the rest of the already fossil fuel vehicles. I say we should do this because there's no point in spending money on new fossil fuel transport when we could just make the long term discussion to make it electric at least just for newly needed transportation.

its not fully electric because we still burn fossil fuels to make the energy it uses to run so I feel like if we found a more efficient way to do it while preserving fossil fuels and energy usage

It should be around 70% electric, and 30 % not, because something could go wrong and people still need to get to places, so backups are important.

No, because for the same amount of money we can increase bus routes and frequency which are proven to reduce emissions by a much larger amount. In the long run, sure.

Although there are benefits to electric powered vehicles, discarding the batteries that power them causes way more pollution than normal gas-powered cars. Added, the overall efficiency of charging large heavy powered vehicles requires so much time which reduces efficiency when it comes to public transit unless more of these vehicles are made to have schedules in which they operate. If electric vehicles were to be added to all of public transit, they should be hybrid vehicles to both reduce fuel consumption, but also be efficient for people who require public transit daily.

All the trains should but not the buses, until we have better train routes

only some and we should phase in the buses

I can see the benifit from doing so but i dont mined

Yes, if the electricity comes from a renewable source

There are bigger issues that need to be solved

Yes, but not run off batteries. They should be hooked into the power grid

Where possible, yes.

No, find green power instead

No it costs to make batteries

Yes, but we don't need to use batteries, we can use wire and 3rd rail.

later on in the future because as of now our money should be going into things more suitable for our province and country

yes to decrease the amount of fossil fuels we use.
