? The wheels on these buses go round and round ? ... with zero emissions. While diesel engines on conventional school buses can be heard a block away, these new battery-powered buses in White Plains, New York, which went into service this fall, run so quietly that they have to play a melody for safety as they roam the streets. The singing buses — which cost $365,000 apiece, more than 3 times the price of a new diesel bus with modern pollution controls — are still a rarity. Of the roughly 480,000 school buses in the U.S., only a few hundred are fully electric. “We see this as the beginning of something that’s very cutting edge,” said Joseph Baker, senior vice president of operations at National Express, the company that operates the school buses. “We often joke that someday these White Plains buses will be in a museum.” @byronsmithphoto shot this photo of the electric buses.
