 kind of like the bridge to nowhere what do you do to help flint one of the most dangerous cities in the united states and one wracked by economic problems for decades  buy green buses  of course t he city s bus station has sealed a deal to purchase two 11 million green electric buses that cost almost four times as much as typical diesel buses the emission free buses can stay out on the road for up to four hours experts say buses are responsible for 034 percent of total passenger miles traveled in the flint area it s all about priorities according to the state michigan has received nearly 100 million in federal stimulus funds to be spent on transit authorities that is despite statistics that reveal 1 percent of all passenger miles in the state are traveled via buses so with a 166 unemployment rate a lot of people will be riding those fancy 11 million buses to the unemployment agency
