>>1111041>The fact that you think regular diesel, diesel-electric hybrids, and biodiesels all work the sameThe all have diesel engines in them, yes. There is a hint in the name. I'm amazed you didn't spot it.
>A problem that doesn't exist on average and that you made up.On *average* it doesn't exit? Which means it both must exist and...negatively exist?
It doesn't exist so much that the entire fleet of "hybrid" buses that London Transport bought run almost entirely on diesel power. Gotcha.
>>1111042>why is the adoption rate for battery buses increasing rapidly?Because cheapasses, morons who think they're a good idea, and moronic idiots who cry at the sight of a little wire.
>Transit agenciesOh God are you American? You're American aren't you?
The move AWAY from diesel buses proves me right: diesel buses are awful. The fact that they're moving to battery buses just means that battery buses are less awful, and probably cheaper up-front (no nasty fixed instructure to frontload your budget!). But that doesn't mean that battery buses are GOOD: they're still far, far, worse than doing the sensible thing and using trollybuses.
