#TheGreenhouseBuses Project by #EmilioAlarcón aims to transform intercity mobility by turning electric buses into mobile greenhouses addressing the challenges of global warming and the lack of green spaces in cities.
The digital art series proposes the utilization of the available space inside buses for growing plants, shrubs, and small trees, and their conversion into itinerant oases in the middle of urban environments.

Various growing methods can be employed, such as hydroponics, where plants grow in nutrient solutions instead of traditional substrates.
Lightweight substrates can also be used to minimize additional weight caused by plants and containers. Beyond their aesthetic appeal and creation of green spaces in cities, greenhouse buses have the potential to reduce environmental impact, shares the multidisciplinary creative.
The increased vegetation helps absorb carbon dioxide and improves air quality.

They could do something like this in Dallas where the goal of the transit system doesn't seem to be about moving people.
