    @Baku @Railison Battery electric busses are a well established technology, used widely, normally hard to get grants for.

    Regardless, anything is better than diesel. I ride my bike on a now almost all electric bus route. I hold my breath much less often now. The reduced particulates is enough to show in the graphs for Wellington
