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

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.

Imagine joy of the electric bus salesmen!

I would love to know which politician had their fingers in the bus manufacturing company.
How much of the $24 million was kicked back to Philly Dem politicians?
There was a trolley line that ran vehicles that looked like those commonly seen in 1950’s when I was last in Philly.
I initially thought the post was referring to these.
Those buses had a lot of copper that was sold for scrap. Who would notice, right?
So, how much electricity did that boondoggle waste?
“the weight of the powerful battery was cracking the vehicles’ chassis”
Having lived in a city run by Democrats while in college, I can think of another possible reason for the cracking.
My mom hated the potholes in Baltimore.
