These kinds of small changes are meaningless and do nothing beyond assuaging one's own guilt and virtue signaling. This kind of system failure cannot be fixed by "voting with your wallet;" nobody actually pays the cost of fossil fuel usage directly, and so people will continue to make money at the expense of society as a whole.
The kind of changes required here are well beyond any individual's ability to enact directly. The nature of capitalism and resource exploitation needs to be fundamentally and seriously reevaluated.
This is the world we are leaving to our children. Complaining about kids not using the bus, or implying that it's somehow hypocritical to do so, is just victim blaming.
