Electric school buses are a breath of fresh air for children | Nearly $1B in federal funding could help clean up the unequal health impacts of diesel pollution.::Nearly $1B in federal funding will help decarbonize transportation and clean up some of the unequal health impacts of diesel pollution
The article talked a lot about school buses in rural areas. Mass Transit isn’t a thing in most rural areas.
In urban cities, yes that’s a feasible idea. Most people in the USA live in places where mass transit isn’t feasible.
We are a nation of car drivers who bought into the dream of having a house on a large lot in the suburbs. Mass Transit exists, but in the burb it’s generally a parking lot where you take a bus to your job downtown.
Yea, my whole point is that stick a bunch of bus lanes there instead of having a separate 2 times a day bus for children.
Most people in the US absolutely live in areas where Mass Transit should be an option. Like 80% of us live on either coast, and both coasts are basically just one continuous city at this point. Sure we call the areas different names, because that’s where the city started, but the coasts are effectively two massive cities that should absolutely have robust mass transit.
That other 20% that inhabits the other 98% of the land in this country, yeah not feasible for mass transit outside of the bigger cities.
