Seriously? How about we put the 43 Million to actually getting an improved infrastructure and robust rail system. Green buses would be great, but still clog the same over-saturated streets.

Reply to TIMOTHY FLY : Do you ride the bus? I doubt it or you wouldnt say that. I just hope that these are not just replacements and that we will get more buses per route.
