According to the Federal Highways Administration the average diesel transit bus gets 3 MPG. Unless they are running on routes with a high load factor, they have quite a large emissions footprint per passenger carried. Add to that, all the other maintenance and fluid/filter disposal issues you have with ICE's. Trying to electrify public transit as much as possible makes a lot of sense.
