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.
