When it comes to climate chaos, a spare bus is a lifeline, not a luxury. Glad Congress is listening to reality.

More spare buses? Great, more government spending on shiny extras instead of tackling core issues.

Thirty percent spares sounds like a cushy slush fund for transit bureaucrats to collect dust—and dollars.

Finally, a bill that puts people over profit—because buses should run, not rust in the heatwave.

Spare buses mean spare lives—it's about time we funded real resiliency, not just flashy tech.

Thirty percent spare buses? Sounds like a practical hedge against Mother Nature’s mood swings.

If the weather’s that bad, maybe folks should consider investing in a car instead of waiting on a bus backup plan.
