Truck and bus fleets work quite well and at lower cost using natural
gas as opposed to #2 diesel.

That's some low hanging fruit to get started.

Waterloo regional transit had a fleet of natural gas busses, and the
maintenance costs totally killed the project - they went back to
deisel, and now have quite a few hybrid deisels. The extra engine
maintenance on the CNG busses outstripped any possible fuel savings.
