The Greensboro Transportation has as its goal to transition from a fleet of 47 diesel busses to all electric busses. Electric busses are quieter, have no exhaust emission and have lower operating and maintenance costs than diesel busses. Currently, the City has 11 hybrid busses, one of which is featured in the above photo. However, all electric busses are even more efficient than hybrid and the technology continues to improve. Duke Energy has been helping fund the charging stations for the electric busses.*

It will be interesting to monitor the use of busses as people consider foregoing owning a vehicle and relying on alternatives like Uber, Lift, and public transportation. Here is the route information for the above bus line #27 that goes from Battleground to Friendly Center to the downtown depot. We do need to warn you that it makes 41 stops, so allow extra time for getting from Point A to Point B.
