Even if it's not considered as cool to ride an electric bus than to drive a Tesla, buses are much more efficient in not only the
utilization of
space on the road, but also in terms of fuel -
efficiency (as measured in Person - Miles Per Gallon (PMPG)-RRB-, so with a switch to electric buses, which are less susceptible to volatile fuel prices and have lower maintenance costs, cities can actually save energy and money while reducing emissions.
