It’s been said many times already but cities really need to get their public transit in order so they can fix traffic congestation and improve the lives of their residents but I still have some questions about some ideas I had.
-
How much would it cost for a city to electrify their entire bus fleet? Yes, people taking the bus is still a good thing but a lot buses still run on some fossil fuel.
-
How much would it cost a city with no rail/metro infrastructure to create it from scratch?
Approximately $500k-1.1M per bus if you buy from New Flyer. https://www.masstransitmag.com/bus/vehicles/hybrid-hydrogen-electric-vehicles/press-release/21212587/niagara-frontier-transportation-authority-nfta-nfta-approves-electric-bus-purchase-from-new-flyer
Depends on where you live. Start from $100M per kilometre.
