    We’re having more and more electric buses in our town. It’s beautiful. They are so quiet. So much better for noise and air pollution.

      The electric buses are pretty nice. Columbus, Ohio, USA has some from New Flyer, and they’re a lot quieter than the deafening natural gas buses. The US has virtually no competition for bus makers though, so I’d be interested to experience some of the European or Chinese ones. Never going to happen here though…

        The technology will eventually be available to every manufacturer. I think the main problem is Trump who does everything to prevent the switch to electric vehicles.

      Jealous here. Recently visited an area with major incentives for EV and cycling and it’s so refreshing. The air is cleaner.
