School busses release a large amount of carbon into the atmosphere. School busses travel to and from school every single school day which raises a students average transportation emissions to five times the average human living in their area. If another form of electric or solar powered public transportation were to be discovered, not only would bus riders average emission go down but the cities average emissions would go down as a whole.

Hello.
We have no school busses.
We use public transport,
In Belarus rarely see school buses.

This is a good option for students living in cities that have access to alternative transportation methods, but not every student has that advantage.  People living in rural areas with no public transportation systems do not have any other choice but to take buses to and from school.  The emissions from buses are still going to be less than the emissions that would occur if each student drove their own vehicle to and from school, but I do agree that there are a large amount of pollutants coming from these buses.  With that being said, how will we get the funding and technology to accomplish the goal of less-pollutant emitting transportation for students?

It is true that the average school bus releases a lot of harmful pollutants into the air, but I agree with Andrea that the overall emissions bus rider would be significantly less than if he/she were to drive a personal car to school.  Albeit the fact that overall emissions would still be lower, I do agree with you in the fact that something can and should be done to lower overall school bus emissions.  I think that to do this, however, technology would need to improve drastically so that costs for lower-emission busses would be low enough for schools to purchase, as public schools function of very limited budgets,
