Did you hear? The Coachella buses ran out of gas!

Ah yes, the buses ran out of gas.

I deleted the posts because I was hoping some help would come from it, but all it did was cause drama. Many poor people were stranded last night and it had everything to do with the bus gas stations not having any fuel. The buses had to drive 30 minutes out to find fuel and many didn’t return and some got stranded themselves trying to find fuel. Then the CHP ordered the bus drivers to stop driving. This all came from the bus drivers updating us as we sat on the bus asking what happened. They and the Sheriffs were all just as confused as we were. My story stands, but the drama got out of hand.

Hundreds stranded in the cold waiting for buses in chaotic post-Trump rally scene
By Jeff Zeleny, CNN

Updated 1:12 PM EDT, Wed October 28, 2020

Omaha, Nebraska CNN — When President Donald Trump left Omaha on Tuesday, thousands watched and cheered in the frigid air as Air Force One took off into the night sky. But for these loyal supporters, their experience at the Trump rally was far from over.

For the next several hours, hundreds and hundreds of people who attended the rally were stranded, as a chaotic scene unfolded on dark roads on a remote stretch near the Omaha airport. They waited for buses that didn’t arrive, unable to reach the site because of a clogged two-lane road.

Jeff Zeleny
President Trump took off in Air Force One 1 hr 20 minutes ago, but thousands of his supporters remain stranded on a dark road outside the rally. “We need at least 30 more buses,” an Omaha police officer just said, shaking his head at the chaotic cluster that is unfolding.
11:21 PM · Oct 27, 2020

Many people started walking to their cars, parked three or four miles away, which blocked the roads even further. Several medics were seen by CNN giving attention to people in the bone-chilling evening air. The temperature was right at freezing, but wind chills were far lower.

Or just contracted to have them drop people in at the start of the rally and did not contract enough busses to get them out at the end. The same thing happened a few months ago in a cold location where they were left freezing.

Buses use a variety of fuels, including diesel, natural gas, hybrid, battery electric, hydrogen, and propane:

Diesel: The most common fuel for buses, diesel is popular because it's safe, reliable, efficient, and durable. Newer diesel buses use advanced technology to reduce emissions.

Natural gas: The second most common fuel for buses.

Hybrid: The fastest growing fuel type for buses, increasing more than eight times from 2007 to 2021.

Battery electric: Electric buses are becoming more affordable and efficient due to advances in battery technology. However, switching to an alternative fuel source can be challenging because of infrastructure concerns.

Propane: Propane school buses have their own fueling and infrastructure challenges.

Other fuel types for buses include compressed natural gas and liquefied natural gas

#MAGA Trumpian protocol was fitting as the “Trumpet Master” hosted his latest rally in Coachella Valley at a “Manure Farm”.

#TrumpRally This setting was perfect for the master s*it talker to host his BS to his flock standing within proximities of S*IT!

That’s a pretty difficult trick he pulled off as his followers were left stranded 5 mi away from their cars late into the night. #CoachellaRally

Way to go “Farticus”…you’re definitely a ‘loser” today, tomorrow, and always.
