Why not just make normal public transit? Like school busses aren’t a thing here so I took the regular bus to school like everyone else, it’s a lot more versatile too since people can take it to more places.
that doesn’t fix the toxic diesel pollution does it?
OP there wanted to know why school buses instead of ordinary public transport buses, separate from any diesel vs. electric issue.
You then went ahead and said “nuh-uh if we don’t have dedicated school buses we can’t fix diesel fumes”.
That’s why you got downvoted, that’s why my snarky retort got upvoted. You may not have meant it like that but that’s how what you wrote reads to other people.
I never suggested we don’t or do have dedicated school buses. My point is crystal clear: all diesel buses, school or otherwise, are toxic to humans. School buses are a bigger problem, directly exposing kids to these harmful particulates. It’s astonishing how my simple point about electrifying public transport and or school buses, which I’ve repeated ad nauseam, gets twisted. People’s preconceived notions or maybe their reading comprehension problems are skewing the real issue here. It’s not rocket science, yet here we are, going in circles.
