      Not a lot of public transport is electric or hydrogen powered so they all use old desal engines. I get his point but at the same time if more people used buses they would offset people driving

        The point of public transport is people sharing the service. 20 people on a bus is better than 20 people in their own cars and the bus still going the same daily route.

          Until the end of the day and the bus still has to keep running, but it has 0-1 passenger. Running a big diesel engine all around the city and it’s mostly empty is not great for the environment.
