My city started rolling out electric buses

Does anyone feel like electric buses are a type of green washing?

I like EVs, but do they make sense for something that needs to be on the road all day? Is replacing a couple hundred diesel buses bringing thousands around a day really what should be getting targeted?

Every little helps and all, but doesn’t seem like it should be considered a bug deal.

They are just better vehicles, both in terms of local pollution, and in terms of propulsion, even if it is green washing.
and noise
Ah good point, I don’t live next to a bus stop
