Electric motors have at least 80% mechanical efficiency. An extremely good diesel engine is around 40%. Transmitting electricity is also cheaper than trucking gas. Pollution coming out of a tall smokestack far away from population centres has much less of an adverse effect than it does coming out at ground level in the city core. LRT is indeed less polluting than buses, both now and especially in the future.
