    My city also has been rolling out electric buses the last few years and they ride so much like their gas counterpart that I wouldn’t be able to tell which is which without the design/colour scheme they chose to tell you which is which.

      We have nearly all electric buses here in Oslo now, and whenever I wind up on a diesel bus I think I’m going to get hearing damage

      Electric buses are far from silent, but WOW the amount of noise and stink we’ve just been tolerating with fossil fuels is insane. Even absent climate change, that’d be worth switching to electric vehicles.

        I almost fucking asphixiated on a diesel bus yesterday because for some reason we had to stop for 5 minutes in the centre of the city and since it was quite cold the exhaust stayed low and just crept into the bus. Fucking traffic.
