New technologies should be implemented when others are at the end of their useful life rather than costly upgrades
@9ZQV5PZ5mos5MO
Yes, but with a strong focus on battery-less solutions - overhead wire and third rail solutions are more than sufficient with good planning and reduced interference in engineering design
@9VJ8335Conservative6mos6MO
No, but we should slowly transfer into this phase investing money at a solid pace, other important issues need more funding
@9LKHKCG1yr1Y
Currently I think we should look into other clean alternatives and focus on that instead of temporary solutions. I think if we start now then we can transition easier, somethings may still need non renewable resources but we should continue to find solutions to fix it
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
@9FD8GS52yrs2Y
Yes, but wasting too much battery can harm the environment so I would say make the battery so it's not harmful to the environment or a long-lasting battery.
@9B23QV3Conservative2yrs2Y
if we are using diesel-powered equipment to get the stuff out of the ground it is pointless
@8YYFC5K3yrs3Y
Some day yes, but technology needs to improve first FOR BUSSES. Trains yes right away.

@8VHQNWRNew Democratic4yrs4Y
All buses should run in hybrid power and advance to electric
@9BX7KLJ2yrs2Y
Doesn't really matter to me. I say don't change what doesn't need to be changed.
@98RWT7J2yrs2Y
Only in certain Locations where is makes sense
@983RYYB2yrs2Y
The one that the free market decides is the best
@96SN4ZP2yrs2Y
Some buses and trains should have electric power.
@92569NCLibertarian3yrs3Y
No, not all should run on electric power. But some should to be environmentally friendly
@92569NCLibertarian3yrs3Y
No, not all should run on electric power. But some should due to costs.
@8ZY588X3yrs3Y
It depends on how clean the electricity underlying the buses and trains is generated, the carbon cost of battery development, etc.
