And now the local wants to have to commuting tax.. Y'all better dig up the pavement and put those trolleys back in service. If I'm going to have to take transit it better be free of traffic
When I was in Almaty, Kazakhstan, they had disused trolly rails laid in the median during the USSR. And right next to them, chinese trolly buses with 2 pantagraphs.
Presumably this tells us its cheaper or faster or more politically feasible to steal the parking lane and build 2 pantagraphs on either side of the road and use rubber-tired, electric-overhead buses than to refurbish existing track in unused RoW and build 1 pantagraph.
cheaper... in the short term, endless tire replacement going foward
I get super peeved that just 80 years ago we had the best transit options in the world then these diesel powered effigies roll up.. Like why bother at this point? Now buses barely go to Saratoga.
