I can't for the life of me understand why public school bus fleets haven't been converted to CNG or LNG like a lot of other municipal vehicles (including transit buses). It would actually make more sense - school buses are bigger (more emissions/fuel consumption), they're used more regularly (at least twice a day with a lot of stop-go), etc.

Why we cling to the convention of big, heavy, diesel buses with no seatbelts for our kids is completely lost on me. Is there a legitimate reason for this or is it more special interests & government stupidity/misappropriations?
