I have a dream...that someday buses will not pollute. Actually

could make it happen now much easier than having all the cars be
replaced with hybrid. Just change the fleet of buses to hydrogen

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.-

Only true if less than 7 passengers ride it. And still it means fewer
vehicles out there to feed traffic jams...

Using Mass Transit
The key to mass transit is the word "mass". The more of us who use it,
the more global warming pollution it saves.

Full cars would also do the same thing, but the laws are set up to
discourage that and to encourage money-losing transit systems.

Care to point out any of those laws against having more than one
person in a car during rush hour?

Even the DC SLUG system is only semi-legal. If you take someone in your
car for a fee, you become an illegal taxi. The poor ignore this rule in
rural areas, but the middle class does not want the loss of insurance, for
example.
