  1. Just like electric cars, unaffordable. My diesel International has such good pollution devices you can put your nose to the tailpipe and smell nothing. No smoke, either.

  2. I'm sure letting 14,000 workers go on the even of the Christmas holiday was a political move intended as a punch in the eye to Trump. This woman is bad news. I'm sure her gender got her the job, not her qualifications despite her tenure with the company. Maybe she should go back out in the plant and assemble cars.

  3. Would be nice if Thomas and Blue Bird could learn how to build decent buses. We have them both in our fleet and have for years. The driver ergonomics are horrible and they break down constantly, even the new ones.

  4. Trust me, you don't want to pay the freight for electrics.

  5. That doesn't work for school buses doign field trips or doubling up on runs.

  6. A driver can be thoroughly proficient with a synchromesh manual transmission but be stymied by a non-synchro gear box. That's where you truly separate the men from the boys.

  7. One manufacturer already has the bus programmed to play music below 15 MPH. The kids hate it. It drives everyone crazy.

  8. That's why Teslas are called "coal powered cars."

  9. And who's going to pay for it?

  10. Who at CNBC drives, maintaines, or pay for electric school buses? I love the "experts" who really know nothing about the subject sprouting their views to gullible audiences.

  11. It would be a lot moe interesting to calculate what it would cost to replace them all with electrics.

  12. Let's rush to electric school buses. What happens when one bursts into flames with kids inside?
    2
  13. Of course the first buses appeared n hard left CA. Newsom loves spending everyone else's money. They cost 3 times more than diesel buses, with no specific numbers quoted. You'll be shocked when you see the prices.

  14. Electric school buses are real cool until one blows up. I hope kids aren't' onboard when it happens.
    2
  15. Let's strap the kids in and lower their chances of escape when it bursts into flames.

  16. You don't have to worry bout anyone stealing it, either.

  17. Remove exhaust then watch it burst into flames.Yes, perfect vehicle.

  18. I wish the owners good luck.

  19. That's where mine go! :-)

  20. There are 500,000 school buses operating in the USA. 45,000 in NY alone. Who's going to pay to replace them with considerably more expensive electrics? It's another liberal pipe dream.

  21. There's no such thing as an unsafe car. It's an unsafe driver.

  22. Thomas buses are junk. I love my diesel SB and it's doesn't smell or smoke at all. I love all the testimonials from people who don't' drive or work on them.

  23. I love how these people talk about the huge increases in cost as no problem at all. Typical liberals. My bet is the entire project will flop when reality finally sets in.

  24. Good luck getting off fossil fuels, 80% of the world's energy source. When democrats start living like the Amish, I'll believe in climate change.

  25. Whos' goign to pay for them and hwo will the electric grid handle it.

  26. My bet would be they don't want to solve it. It's too much of a political tool for democrats to exploit one way or another.

  27. Wait until one blows up with kids onboard. They're' $300,000 each as opposed to $75,000 for a conventional diesel. Where's the money going to come from? Other reviews I've seen on electric school buses show oen model with music that plays below 15 MPH driving everyone crazy. Does anything of the carbon footprint in manufacturing these things? You're not helping the environment at all.

  28. NY, CA and VA, great bastions of liberal dreamers that love spending other people's money. Good luck, guys.

  29. Cars, drugs, Trump's into everything.

  30. You're woefully misinformed. Do you believe in the tooth fairy, too?

  31. Death traps.

  32. You didn't say where you live but we don't need to be dependent on OPEC. We have more fuel resources in the USA than any other country and more than we'll use in 200 years.

  33. NY just re-elected Hochel as governor. That shows how bad their judgement is. Biden loves spending everyone else's money. When was the last time he drove a school bus?

  34.  @MarloSoBalJr  I remember as a kid in the early 60s Thomas bodies not being as comfortable as Ward. I have a 7 year old International CE300 and love it.

  35.  @chrisstarlitvagabond1496  Right. They just burst into flames, or the batteries do.

  36. It's the worst since the Great Depression but the difference is it was caused by government.

  37. Nobody can be sure Russia will invade Ukraine.

  38. It's a liberal pipe dream detached from reality as is usually the case on the left.

  39. You'll change your tune when the first an explosions start happening.

  40. Has anyone researched the transit company in Paris, France that bought a fleet of electric buses then took them all out of service when one blew up? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5r-yN8SugWM&t=1s

  41. Says who? How much do you know about driving or maintaining them?
    1
  42. That's nonsense! Then the buses were not properly maintained.

  43. It's not funded entirely by employer taxes. Workers pay into it also. I've paid into it all my life but have never collected a dime.

  44. We're awash in fossil fuels and Barra sees and "all-electric" future. Did she elaborate on the highly unsuccessful Volt or mention that Tesla is bankrupt?

  45. To me the best car VW ever made was halted.

  46. You think unemployment is bad? Try contacting the IRS.

  47. Maybe AOC would like to forgive all their debt, or Elizabeth Warren?

  48. Nice of you to spend other people's money. $300,000 each as opposed to $75,000?

  49. This video, based on the comments form the uninformed, is obviously an echo chamber for liberal pipe dreamers. I can't wait until the first electric school bus explodes. I just hope no kids are onboard, or the driver, either.

  50. It wouldn't be the first time NYC went bankrupt, would it? Not to worry. Joe Biden will bail them out with your money.
