Sure, maybe. But even with no taxes on gas, (in WA state), they pay 3.29$ per gallon or so. With buses doing 3 mpg (https://afdc.energy.gov/conserve/mass_transit.html https://afdc.energy.gov/conserve/mass_transit.html), that's still a dollar a mile. According to Indeed, driver salary here is about 20$/hr. Not sure how many miles a transit bus does an hour, byt maybe somewhere in the 20-30 range? Honestly, no clue. So that equates maybe to the same as the driver's salary, right now. Assuming gas prices were 10x (32.9$/gal), they'd be paying 200$ an hour just for gas. Alright, this has gotten ridiculous. Anyway, higher gas prices would just drive alternative adoption, and that's good. I was just selfishly thinking of me having to drive my car with those prices ;)
