Hydrogen buses are costly compared to battery electric ones, leading transit agencies to question the sustainability of hydrogen buses. Transit agencies excel in operational logistics but are vulnerable to persuasive narratives about new technologies like hydrogen buses. Agencies may overlook the progress in battery technology and the increasing range of battery-electric buses. Traditional bus makers may need to adapt to more efficient, insulated buses with heat pumps. Overall, transit agencies need to move towards evidence-based, cost-effective solutions and be wary of biased information from various sources like IEA and Hydrogen Council.
