How electric school buses could help fuel the power grid

Aren't there concerns with electric vehicles spontaneously catching fire ? Is this wise and well thought out ?

Electric vehicles are less likely to catch fire than a diesel or gas vehicle.

Umm...Our planet has passed the heat threshold to sustain life going forth, over time.Over eight billion people, and every living thing are now at high risk of perishing with each species having it's own heat threshold, that many have passed, and many are at risk of extinction with habitat lose (that which help cool our planet) another major factor.Species include both flora and fauna.Combustible engine?"Is this wise and well thought out?".

I would NEVER let my precious children ride an electric bus, city or school. Does Guelph not keep up with the news of how dangerous these vehicles are? As usual, they have their green energy blinders on.

Not really, no. Way more gasoline car fires, whether you measure per fire, per vehicle bought or per mile.The news media just chooses to share EV fires far and wide every time they happen. For some reason.

I can understand supporting local and small businesses, but consumers work hard for their money. It's not charity for business owners. Nobody owes you their fare because you got here first.Being a business owner is hard, I get it. But this is a free market. When bigger competition shows up, the answer is to adapt and overcome, to sharpen your pricing, your service, your local advantage. Not lobby the city to keep competitors out and hope you fly under the radar.If you're going to gatekeep, do it with a service worth choosing. Not by lobbying to keep the competition out.

They do that enough. Let the people speak. Enough with the silencing.

The Mayor does not care what the taxpayers think.

Big or small scale build. The amount of fresh water and hydro used is not worth the risks. Also there is the high pitched noise these facilities produce 24/7

These buses would not be ideal in our brutally cold winters.

Again the FEDS with there push for electric vehicles and not having a proper electrical system in place. This kind of saving electricity is penny wise and dollar foolish / but it's an easy way to spend tax payers money trying to correct a mess you created.

You display a shocking lack of ignorance about what's going on with our hospitals. It has nothing to do with the administration. It has to do with Doug Ford underfunding healthcare for years. Every hospital in Ontario is on the edge of a financial cliff. Our population is aging so patients present with more complex health needs, people are backed up in the ER because there's no inpatient beds because inpatient beds are being occupied by people who really should be in a nursing home. But Doug Ford's not funding enough nursing home beds. This is a funding problem and responsibility sits with Ford.

105 is not speeding!!! Ridiculous! If it wasn't for these construction zones the speed limit would still be 90!!! OPP must need to fill quota! These roads don't even need new pavement! Wasting tax payer dollars! Wake up Doug Ford! Listen to your people!

Finally, a spot of good news on the Doug Ford front. It would be nice if he would spend more time and money on northern highways and healthcare as opposed to giving sweet deals to rich developers.

The unhoused are being picked on, by by-law, the police, the mayor and council and the provincial government. Shame on them all.

Competition is good for everyone. It keeps current companies on their toes and forces them to find ways to stay in the race. The result is the customer gets some choices and perhaps more competitive rates.
