The thing I'm most excited about is electric _buses_ I think that will have a huge effect on cleaning up pollution in cities. Especially in other countries.
I lived in Mexico City for a few years and the pollution there is over the top bad. I'm talking almost as bad as Chinese cities. They have all these ancient horribly polluting busses that spew out huge amounts of pollution. If you replace all of those with electric buses things would dramatically improve.
- cknight 6y agoI'm most excited about these too, but for another reason: noise. Looking for a place to live, and there are many nice suburban streets which I pretty much have to avoid because I am such a light sleeper. A late night or early morning bus route would drive me insane.
- tonyedgecombe 6y agoI don't know why we don't bring back trolley buses, no worries about batteries then.
- fiftyfifty 6y agoWhere I'm at they've replaced nearly all of our diesel buses with natural gas. They certainly look a lot cleaner driving down the road and I'm guessing they are cheaper to operate as well. Something like that might be a good intermittent step for a lot of these places while the cost on electric buses comes down.
