Minus 40 degrees? I have to ask - is that C or F?

Meanwhile, certain cities are getting rid of trolleybuses in favor of this highly-flawed technology.

"Marie Larsson, chief of the city's bus operations, explained, "at minus 40 degrees it is too cold for the electric buses. In hindsight its seems like we should've taken this factor into consideration"

Resign now, give the job to a man (if any real ones are left there), go home and cook meals.

-40C is actually the same as -40F.

Boulder Colorado discovered that electric school buses can’t handle hills on cold days. San Francisco electric buses can’t handle hills...but they’re going to save the world. Both went back to diesel.

Actually, *you’re* wrong.

F = (9/5)C + 32
= (9/5)(-40) + 32
= -72 + 32
= -40
