If you're challenging my assertion that there was a noticeable improvement in air quality in Pittsburgh when the diesel busses were not on the road due to the driver strike, you're wrong. Diesels produce up to 400 times the amount of particulate pollution vs. gasoline engines. Mass transit busses remain on the roads all day and most of the night, unlike a commuting auto, which is normally used an hour or two per day. There was a significant improvement in air quality when those diesel busses were not running - it felt literally like a breath of fresh air.
Busses running on natural gas would be a big improvement for urban areas, and it appears natural gas is being used more frequently now.
As for needing it adopted by everyone, you go right ahead. The less time I have to ride around in a closed enviro with every kind of virus carrying, shower-phobic, alcoholic, tourette syndrome suffering mental case in town, the better.
