Buses are still good. They have electric buses in Prague. There’s the BRT invented in Brazil and brought over successfully to England. Mass transit doesn’t need to be trains. Turn a lane into a dedicated bus lane and put some ticketing stations outside and you have a BRT solution.
Edit: hit submit by mistake.
And restructuring our cities to live a less carbon intensive live is critical. Yes it will cost a lot. It’s still needed.
I don't disagree. I would use public transportation if I could. I do think that it is kinda silly to say electric vehicles will solve everything about climate change when the top 20 corporations produce 80% of pollution. The restructuring of our cities to support these kinds of things is very important as well. I'm just saying that electric vehicles will be a necessary component that we, unfortunately, cannot rule out. Even if everyone had access to public transportation we would still need vehicles. And it would be better to have electric ones.
Alright, so we’re saying the exact same thing.
