Does anyone have a recent comparison of emissions and/or any other environmental impacts of shuttle buses that run on: a) compressed natural gas; b) diesel hybrid; c) 2010 diesel?

We provide a free shuttle bus service between campus and the closest subway station. We order a couple new buses every couple years and I want to get the cleanest buses we can.

Thanks,
