What is an "electric bus"?
An electric bus is a type of bus powered by electricity instead of gasoline or diesel. It uses a battery or overhead wires to run, making it quieter and reducing air pollution. Many cities use electric buses to improve public transportation while lowering harmful gases. These buses can be charged at stations or while in operation, depending on the design. Since they do not rely on fuel engines, they help reduce dependence on fossil fuels and contribute to cleaner urban environments.
Examples
The city council decided to replace its diesel fleet with electric buses to reduce air pollution.
