Trolley buses, anyone?


How about dual mode (diesel/electric) buses? Whilst they don't prevent
pollution entirely, you can choose to wire high-pollution areas
initially and move towards the whole route over a period of time.


Why subject London to the ugliness of wiring the whole route? Just wire the
bus stops. If a bus goes through several stops without stopping, the diesel
generator would kick in.
