Good use of public transportation. Buses are such notorious polluters and they tend to operate largely in areas of concentrated population. Perfect target for movement toward cleaner technology.

Is no modification being made to the busses to enable use of B100?

Fuel lines have to be replaced with non-rubber components otherwise they swell and rupture, but otherwise older diesels run just fine on B100. It's the latest technology that has some potential difficulty in dealing with B100.
