No I suggest you trade in your cars for more eco friendly models,

My guess is you will need a hybrid with an engine no larger than about
150cc to equal the performance of the bus.

Why, are most normal cars 500cc?

I'd suggest the "normal car" is around 2000cc, which would put my 600cc
cars about on par with the scaling factor between this 1900cc bus and the
non-hybrid 6700cc version.

Nope. I am assuming 50 passengers in the bus and 4 passengers in the
car, including driver. 1900/50x4 = 152cc

Nitpick time folks, with a dash of semantics thrown in for good
measure and a smidging of lies!
