I like to see a wide spread of electric buses. The more the better. Sydney where I’m located. Has now got five Electric buses in Service doing a trial service on the inner west bus route since middle of 2019. Also there is a another electric buses at Sydney’ domestic airport terminus since 2017 that does loop run to car park. I rode on them a few times and I’m very thrilled how smooth and easy to travel on. That’s the way to go and help the Environment. It’s good to see how we getting with the technology. We need to reduce our mission and replace to Clean renewable energy BZE Beyond Zero Emission. That’s the group I belong to. Good luck. All the best, Paul Vonwiller
