    Neither do school busses since only kids take those. If like most people took the bus instead of drove that would help immensely even if it was the most polluting bus ever.

      um wtf? We all wearing gas masks or something? You realise diesel fumes are toxic to people right? Kids catching buses spewing toxic gas is not a good situation. I think you’re focusing on the climate changing issue of pollution and not the pressing issue, which is the toxic fumes that come from diesel buses.

        What kind of weird busses do you have in the states? Most busses (And a large amount of cars) here run on diesel and have no such issue.
