    I am 100% in favor of density, non-car-centric urban development, active mobility and rock-solid public transit – I am on this community for a reason, after all, and I further do not drive. But I acknowledge that there are some cases where cars are important for trade work, hauling, etc., as well as where buses are the better option for transit, and in those cases I believe that the vehicle should be electrified. It may only be like 5% of the solution, but it’s a part of the solution nevertheless.

      More of a tram person instead of buses for transit due to how much more comfortable of a ride it is. Everything else I fully agree with though

      Open Source Electric vehicles here we come!

        I generally prefer trams and light rail to buses, but buses do offer a lot of flexibility that can be useful in any transit system. I do think that right now they’re often not given appropriate priority and used for routes that should be run by trams or light rail though.
