They have the roads already built. It would have been many times smarter to get a better bus system, even if if used electric.

Yeah, but why should they run electric busses when they can suck the federal teat and get a brand-spanking-new rail line that they don’t have to pay for? They might even try to get a nuclear power plant to go with it!

I know San Francisco still runs electric buses. They use the old lines and the bus has a wire that connects to it. I always thought they were interesting, but it must work for them since they have kept them.

How long do you think SF electric busses will be operating when California is having rolling blackouts due to lack of electric power and all of those electric cars plugging in for a charge? If they have some more electric generation, it would work.
