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.

  1. 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.

  2. How much would it cost a city with no rail/metro infrastructure to create it from scratch?

    In nz they import quite a few of them second hand, so the median bus age will be closer to the average here.

    But yeah they might last a bit longer here too if they’re putting less mileage on them as our busses are not very frequent…
