Electric bus

Electric buses run on electricity, not gasoline. Instead of burning gasoline for power, electric buses are powered by very large batteries, just like your phone or laptop. These large batteries store energy from the electric grid (or other sources), and use this energy to move the bus.

Electric buses are much better for the environment than regular buses because they don’t produce exhaust and pollution. That means less smog in the air and clean air to breath. Electric buses are also very quiet, so they don’t make annoying noises that disturbs people in neighborhoods.
