While biking today near Rock Creek Park in Maryland, I stopped behind a school bus at a red light. "Shit," I thought, "I'm going to suck a cloud of diesel fumes when the light changes." Then I looked up and saw painted on the bus, "Electric School Bus." When the light changed, I breathed clean-ish air. Electric busses = happy bikers/walkers, quiet neighborhoods, good jobs, cleaner air and less asthma. Ms. Frizzle would approve. #ElectricBusses #Maryland #Asthma #climatechange #MsFrizzle

"Oslo is on course to become the first capital city in the world with an all-electric public transport system."

"Norway's capital hopes to reach this goal by the end of 2023 as part of its aim to become the world's first wholly emissions-free city by 2030."

"The transport push entails replacing the city's diesel-fuelled buses with 450 electric ones. It is hoped the 500 million crown (€48 million) programme will save the city money over the long term."

"Electric buses built by a Chilean company are now operating in the world's top copper-producing nation, as the country seeks ways to reduce its use of fossil fuels and achieve its environmental goals."

"Reborn Electric Motor, located about 84 kilometers (52 miles) south of Chile's capital Santiago, aims to produce 200 electric busses a year, enough to keep some 65,000 tonnes of carbon out of the atmosphere."
