Diesel Bus Blunder

The decision by the NSW Government to ditch purchase of cleaner Compressed Natural Gas buses in favour of dirty diesel is an air pollution and public health blunder. It also makes the need for light rail more urgent.
Diesel v CNG report

STOP PRESS! 2 April 2006 - The Government has now reversed its decision and will buy 255 CNG buses and another 250 Euro5 standard diesel buses* for the Sydney and Newcastle fleet. An air quality win.
* The lack of current CNG refuelling at some depots means some dielsel will continue to be used but Euro5 pollution controls are high standard.
