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.

If they are like Streetcars and Subways, I see no issue. If they're Commuter Rail and Buses or Commercial trains, they should only be diesel.
@9TQ5P3T7mos7MO
No, but greater emphasis should be placed around the importance of reducing waste and more education should be provided around life planning and birth control to reduce exponential population growth
@9QQVM6K9mos9MO
Yes I agree that transitioning public buses and trains to electric power would benefit the environment extremely, but I also understand that could be difficult because initial costs would be high, but ultimately its better for our world, so I agree.
@9QQN2BL9mos9MO
If there is a single bus taking care of an entire neighbour hood or more let it run on gas but the small trollies in Toronto should be electric powered as they travel short distances.
I think that some public transit should be powered by electric power but only as much as we can reasonably afford.
@9CMFTM62yrs2Y
Yes, but there are other resources too instead of electric power like wind energy, solar energy, etc.
@9CMDJNJ2yrs2Y
No because we don't have the infrastructure to do that now but it should be a goal we work to achieve
@93SCGPD3yrs3Y
Infrastructure reliant on the electrical grid, such as trolleybuses, trams, and light metro should operate.
@93RS5G93yrs3Y
Yes, Gradually, and raise taxes of fossil fuel industries
@93RM7YV3yrs3Y
@93QZV7Z3yrs3Y
I think we should try to increase the number of electric powered buses and trains and then observe and evaluate what it does for the environment and cost wise.
@8XYVT3Y3yrs3Y
Yes, but only after the power grid is upgraded enough to support it
@8WWV44D3yrs3Y
yes, but keep another alternative if all goes badly.
@8VTQXPB4yrs4Y
They should run on gas because electric power still causes pollution in the process of making it.
@8VQVRJW4yrs4Y
@8VL5KBK4yrs4Y
We should strive for more electric use, but no.
@9CMPPTL2yrs2Y
It would be best to run on hybrid or Helium gas in my opinion.
Have a couple electric powered public transport vehicles.
@9CMJ5TZ2yrs2Y
Maybe a mix of both in the case of a long term electric outage, relying only on electric power isn't always the best choice.
@9CMDY562yrs2Y
If they are localized busses. trains. But if they are not and they're going long distances, then no.
@9CM9QB72yrs2Y
No, but we should find more environmentally friendly methods of transport
@9CM4R9D2yrs2Y
@98RBBP52yrs2Y
@98PL3W42yrs2Y
Not all but the majority.
@98D354R2yrs2Y
@98752TC2yrs2Y
I believe that there should be research done and then there should be a vote. I also believe it doesn't really matter as long as this system is providing transportation for everyone.
@97SKDD22yrs2Y
get elon musk to figure it out
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
