this is all

This is the propaganda I can get behind.

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

VPN uses 0 gallons.

68 men plus the driver makes 69, amirite?

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

Never again.

Despite having the tube and double-decker busses, London is the most traffic congested city in the world.

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

I could take 68 men. That's a normal Saturday night for me.

But everybody loves cars! Just look at how many cars people buy all the time!

/s

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

Gallons? Shouldn't it be liters?

This was a lot more appealing before COVID.

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

Now consider an electric bus

And six times as long as best.

What do I do when there's no bus route anywhere near my work? I cycle when it's weather appropriate but I ain't cycling to work in 20°C heatwave.

We need to get one more man to work

Won't work in the US. We all hate each other.

You need about 7 cars displaced per bus at all times in order for it to be more efficient in gas.

I would rather have a world full of velomobiles than buses.

And never mind the rampant spread of bedbugs and disease, being exposed to violence and sexual assault, risking being arrested simply for angering the bus driver, being made late to work or even missing it entirely because of bus breakdowns, route changes or cancellations, or any number of problems that are more easily rectified with an electric car or a bike

Yeah, but buses generally suck. Give me actual rail, thanks.

The DC Metro was amazing.

People people. We need to solve the problem of cars by building bigger cars!

This assumes all of them live right next to each other though

That's fine when back in the day they didn't want to stab you for looking their way for 0.3 ms

but how many gallons does it take without hating to your life?

see answer 1

We'll here in my city it not cuts congestion it MAKES congestion

So the very first result on Google for "double decker fuel efficiency" give the result "per gallon, while a 'double-decker' bus with a Diesel engine will run 11 miles per gallon".

44 / 5 days is approx 9 miles poet day. 4.5 miles to and 4.5 miles back.

I didn't want to believe this but I guess city dwellers where double deckers operate would probably have short commutes like this on average
