The goal of electric buses is to reduce
all tailpipe emissions. GHGs are just one of many emissions made when we burn things. There is a reason ICEVs have a tailpipe to try and direct the exhaust away from the cabin. One of the indirect benefits of the electrification of transport is reduced healthcare costs and fewer premature deaths
