OMG , passengers stranded between bus stops , they’ll freeze to death

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

The people that run these cities are complete morons in every respect.

Elect the Insane and you get insanity

[Jean2]

Oh geez! Who didn’t see that coming? /sarc.

[Karoo]

School buses are next.

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

It’s not climate crisis it’s just normal , wait maybe they thought it would summer all year round by now ,LOL

[jerod]

Funny.

[Olog-hai]

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

[mikey_hates_everything]

"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.

That’s what happens when a 15 yr old girl plans your transportation system.

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

[V_TWIN]

And in other news, water is wet

[Kozy]

wrong

[sasquatch]

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.

[Windcatcher]

Actually, *you’re* wrong.

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

[A strike]

- 40C = -40F

[gitmo]

And vice versa.

I was just having fun.
