When government tries to fix something, it always screws it up.

In my humble opinion, this move to what are known as EV (electric vehicle) buses is part of a conditioning program for passengers to get them used to higher fares, gradually escalated

Yeah, how's that working out for them in Chile?

Green = More Expensive = Less people using public transportation = more people using non-Green cars

As usual, dumb leftie programs only end up encouraging the opposite of what they hope to achieve.

So instead of burning natural gas in the bus, they want to burn natural gas at a power plant in Nevada or Arizona, teansmit it to San Diego, and charge the bus. Even considering the costs of transporting the natural gas, I don’t see how this saves anything.

The blog Schnitzel Republic had an item about the all-electric buses put into use in Wiesbaden. It appears that in harsh winter or summer conditions, the buses will last about three hours and then have to be swapped out for another to continue the run - for another three hours.

In one case, during BITTER weather, the bus had to go back for a recharge after 90 minutes.

I have to wonder why they didn't consider hybrid buses as the stop-and-go pattern would have kept the batteries recharged the whole shift. That's assuming those buses exist.

This in a country who expect to totally rely on green power generation in the next 10-15 years.
