BTW NYC is moving to electric buses too. Other cities already have electric buses. I saw one in Washington DC a few days ago. New York got 25 billion for this already and will ask for another $50 billion to convert all buses to electric/hydrogen. See https://www.nydailynews.com/news/pol...ojq-story.html
I've been seeing a lot of Hybrid busses on the roads in a couple cities lately. Smart move seeing what gas hogs those are.

I wouldn't want to be a lyft or Uber driver in NYC if they have to have livery plates. It wouldn't pay to do it if someone was doing it for very part time extra cash
