Hey, be smart. You are part of the solution, not part of the problem.

There are two versions of it...

OK, how is the bus not polluting?
You don't see it everyday, but it's possible. Just some new
technologies and some political will to make it happen...
Heaven Help Bus
A visit to Iceland spurs dreams of a hydrogen future
The loneliness of the long-distance rider.I have seen the future, and
it works.
The 111 bus rolls quietly up to the Mjodd terminal in eastern
Reykjavik at 11:19 a.m., and I climb aboard. For 45 minutes, we cruise
through the suburbs and then to the central square downtown, picking
up and discharging eight passengers along the way. Fuel cells that
would have filled the space of several passenger seats five years ago
are now small enough to fit in the roof panels. And out the exhaust
pipe: a trickle of water.

I have a dream...that someday buses will not pollute. Actually we
could make it happen now much easier than having all the cars be
replaced with hybrid. Just change the fleet of buses to hydrogen or
some other technologies out there.
We can make it happen with THE REVOLUTION. Coming soon...
Too optimistic. Somebody, somewhere is probably burning coal or oil to
make the electricity to electrolyze the water to make the Hydrogen.
It only really works if the electricity comes from wind, solar, hydro,
or, dare I say it, NUculear (Bush pronunciation).

Anything which makes a bus more efficient would make a car even more
efficient than the bus. Right now transit buses waste fuel big time.
"Who killed the electric car" would be a good movie for this thread.

The Tango is a fun option if you want to dance --or drive...
(I'd love one. Gotta ask Santa. Then buy life insurance, because I'd
be dead meat with it in the Darwinian roads where I live)
Tango
Doubling freeways. Quadrupling parking.
0-60 mph in 4 seconds.
The Tango--unique in many ways--has the solution for some of the major
problems we have with automobiles today. Traffic has overcome the
current freeway system. There are too many 4-passenger cars using an
entire lane to transport a single person. There is also too much
pollution from gasoline vehicles.
Solution: Reduce traffic and pollution with the Tango, a car that fits
its use! This tandem two-seater can get you safely and comfortably to
work and back without wasted space or fuel. The Tango--being 6"
narrower than many motorcycles--takes less than half the space of the
average car on the freeway, thereby doubling the capacity of existing
freeway lanes. The Tango can fit in a future 6 foot lane easier than a
truck fits in a standard 12 foot lane. To fight pollution it is
available as an electric zero-emission vehicle.
