Electric buses would make a lot of sense for local routes. Mostly stop and go, low speed traffic. Can fit a TON of batteries in the floor. And charge every night. Most school buses are loud and can be heard inside people's houses, so a quiet bus would be appreciated. Although I guess kids have to be more careful in looking for the bus, not relying on hearing it coming.

Would also make a great horror movie for the future.
