If people switch from cars to buses, which preferentially use diesel, this will drive up diesel prices even more.
Maybe we need to start thinking of introducing 12-15 passenger, gasoline-powered vans as they have done in some countries?
The cities would have to hire more van drivers, but the jobs many people perform don't really involve "long-term wealth creation", anyway.
Driving a van would be a great part-time job for many students, seniors (<70 y/o) or women. Of course, having universal health care would help also.
Most women bus drivers I talked to on the Denver (RTD) System were quite happy with their jobs.
