Sam,
You should try to convince Daimler to retool the Swan Island plant for buses. They know something about building them since they've been doing it since 1895. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_buses)

Demand for more public transit in this country will grow exponentially in response to concerns for global warming and diminishing oil reserves. There will be high demand for more buses, especially for large buses powered by electricity and CNG currently being built by Daimler in various countries.
