Thank you, @governor.ca.gov, for standing strong for Californians and the right to breathe clean air.
This piece of legislation would have made it more difficult to shape clean air policies in Southern California, the nation's smog capital.

Etransit buses are just better than methane burning buses for riders. Took a SM big blue gillig ebus & it was quiet & clean. Took a methane burner back & it was loud & funky smelling
Now don’t get me wrong - we need to keep using combustion buses until the end of useful life but ebuses are better.
