Hey @Princeton — if huge cities can electrify their bus fleets, surely a small, wealthy university can. The current diesel TigerTransit buses are embarrassingly noisy and stinky. Give our lungs and ears a break, set an example for other schools, and go electric! https://twitter.com/drvox/status/983433524018495493 …

Electric would still be way better than biodiesel: quieter, far fewer particulate emissions (no locally emitted PM10 or PM2.5 for pedestrians and cyclists to breathe) not to mention nitrogen oxides, ozone, benzene etc… and sorry but I don’t agree with the “odorless” part

Reference on the nastiness of diesel emissions from vehicles, including buses: https://www.ucsusa.org/clean-vehicles/vehicles-air-pollution-and-human-health/diesel-engines … Buses belching clouds of black “smoke” (yes, some of them do) are hardly “clean” and “odorless”.
