From having lived right next to a bus stop on a 24hour route I can safely say the new London electric buses are dramatically quieter.
And when commuting on a bicycle, not having to stand in traffic behind a diesel bus is a welcome relief. Possibly life changing to some degree. The fumes from old buses are absolutely disgusting.
