    The best electric busses have electric lines overhead, so you don’t need big batteries.

        People love to let the perfect be the enemy of the good. They oppose incremental progress and preserve the status quo as a result.

        Everything converges into either crabs or trains.

      A lot less versatile and a lot more disruptive to the community.

      Not entirely against them but I dont have them a the gold standard.

        Strong disagree. If you have telephone poles by the road, the power is already there

          No telephone poles anywhere near my house. Only along main roads at least 30 mins walk away.

          All the household electrical wiring, internet, cable TV, telephone, natural gas, and water services are underground.

      Trolley busses are also much better for steep inclines!
