Literally, SEPTA could have provided limousine services to every single passenger and it would have been cheaper.

It doesn't matter whether Leftie's schemes work out.
It's their intentions that matter.

the weight of the powerful battery was cracking the vehicles’ chassis, and the battery life was insufficient for the city’s bus routes.
No one saw that coming?

It’s Electric!!! It seems that every single time Leftists crow about EV’s/ Wind/Solar, etc...the end result is a total disaster. Yet, they never learn from past mistakes. They just keep pushing on. Moving from one boondoggle to the next.
After all, it’s not like they’re spending their own money.

All of them were repainted with psychedelic colors and had new bus drivers in tie dyed outfits who drove them all to the New Summer of Love. San Francisco, Oregon, Washington.
They saw the Pacific Ocean and, like Neal Cassidy to Jack Kerouac, said “We can’t drive any farther. There’s no more land.”

Every American city should follow Philly’s lead, and try to improve upon the splendid electric bus idea.

After reading extensively about South African governance this past week - its incredibly wasteful welfare state, its one party, socialist government, its corruption and patronage networks, its soul-crushing lack of incentive, its violence - I realized places like Philadelphia and Chicago are really not so different at all from South Africa.

Philadelphia is run by the residents.
The average IQ of african Americans is what, 80?
Imagine joy of the electric bus salesmen!
To: Hojczyk
Did any of them catch fire while charging? Now that would be a Volt to remember.

The Boston area had electric buses that ran off an overhead catenary.
No stinkin’ batteries involved.

What went so horribly wrong to produce such a result?In a word: government.

They should have consulted the USPS, they have been experimenting with electric vehicles since 1899.
All were a failure.
