That made me laugh out loud in the literal sense of the phrase

This is the propaganda I can get behind.

And with trolleybuses powered on a renewable grid, it's zero gallons!

Or maybe tell bosses that if your job can be done remotely it should be done remotely. Then there's more room on the bus for people who need to be in meatspace to do their jobs.

If only bosses were open to persuasion.

Acktually, to use a VPN, you would need to turn on your PC or phone, which uses a small but existent amount of petrol -🤓

Recently visited York (UK) and they have a fantastic bus system - and they're electric.

[–] Nioxic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Busses in my city are also going electric. So far only the local routes. The longer distance routes are still diesel

[–] Drun@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Ah, you should see buses in my city. Dirty, thirty years old, overpopulated graves on wheels with no air conditioners.

Never again.

[–] Gabu@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Then start campaigning for better public infrastructure.

[–] uis@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

with no air conditioners.

Dear Faust. Are they using Soviet minibuses?

[–] drathvedro@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Ha! I have nothing but good memories about PAZ-3205. Fast, comfortable, with working AC.

LIAZ-677, on the other hand... now that's a proper torture machine

That one bus company in the nearby city that absolutely refuses to replace their miserable old buses 🥴🤡 while the others run modern air conditioned hybrids, and some fully electric

[–] Arthur_Leywin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

But that'll take away people's freedom to pay a subscription for heated seats 😔

[–] nogrub@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

but this isn't new technology where you can write a 100 bullshit news article about and prais it as the next big thing because it actually works and is efficient
