This is the propaganda I can get behind.

And with trolleybuses powered on a renewable grid, it's zero gallons!

Or maybe tell bosses that if your job can be done remotely it should be done remotely. Then there's more room on the bus for people who need to be in meatspace to do their jobs.

Recently visited York (UK) and they have a fantastic bus system - and they're electric.

[–] Nioxic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

Busses in my city are also going electric. So far only the local routes. The longer distance routes are still diesel

[–] STUPIDVIPGUY@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Ah, you should see buses in my city. Dirty, thirty years old, overpopulated graves on wheels with no air conditioners.

Never again.

[–] uis@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

with no air conditioners.

Dear Faust. Are they using Soviet minibuses?

[–] drathvedro@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Ha! I have nothing but good memories about PAZ-3205. Fast, comfortable, with working AC.

LIAZ-677, on the other hand... now that's a proper torture machine

Then start campaigning for better public infrastructure.

[–] lemann@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago
