Or maybe tell bosses that if your job can be done remotely it should be done remotely. Then there's more room on the bus for people who need to be in meatspace to do their jobs.

While I agree with the comparison in the post, the trolleybus powered by renewable energy shouldn't be compared to gas cars.

It should be compared to electric cars powered by renewable energy.

We used to have trolleybuses when I was a kid in the 70's, they were so insanely much more nice to ride than a diesel. No bad smell, and they were smooth and quiet.

I guess we will get back to something similar soon, but with batteries.

Acktually, to use a VPN, you would need to turn on your PC or phone, which uses a small but existent amount of petrol -🤓

Very hard to deliver milk over VPN

But the driver is already at work

That one bus company in the nearby city that absolutely refuses to replace their miserable old buses 🥴🤡 while the others run modern air conditioned hybrids, and some fully electric

with no air conditioners.

Dear Faust. Are they using Soviet minibuses?

Thirty years old is a perfectly reasonable age for a big chunk of a city's fleet. You're still talking kneeling busses.

Imagine how bad it would be without the tube and busses! All these people trying to drive in London? Just thinking about it I shudder and I've never even seen London.

Good job they have them, in that case!

According to a study conducted in 1000 cities in 50 countries based on data from connected vehicles and phones. Not disagreeing with the premise but I expect there are plenty of other more "congested" cities, visit Manila or Jakarta for example. The UK should however definitely do more to fund its public infrastructure.

Shamelessly stolen from I can't remember.

I believe England, GB maybe, is very much a mixed bag when it comes to measurement standards.

Now consider a trolley.

You make a good point but only if your country actually has roads.

If you live somewhere with no paved roads and only railroads, then that and walking are your only options.

(Sarcasm but I’m curious if you see the point)

It could also be 0 gallons if the busses are electrified, or if the rail system is expanded, or if we stop pushing office workers to commute every day.

There are many routes to 0 emissions.
