Surprised at the current satisfaction level TBH.

Normal buses cost like 250,000. i can only imagine how much a fleet of electric buses would be. How many millions? This is really the most wise use of millions in our current economic debt state?

I’m sure everyone has been caught behind a bus that spews black soot from the diesel. Imagine that going into the air… and into your lungs. This seems a no-brainer.

The Canadian Urban Transit Research & Innovation Consortium had a conference on electric buses some months ago. It was fascinating to say the least. I am intrigued that Bermuda is looking into this. Of course there are a number of issues that the folks in Toronto are working on to make the system more efficient.

More economical and efficient. Less maintenance. Less noise. Better for the environment and better for Bermuda. Lets do this and bring Bermuda into the 21st century. Then we just need to wean BELCO off it’s fossil fuel addiction.

An Electric bus would cost 3 times the price
The infrastructure to support it would cost millions
Remember “WE ARE BROKE”

This island can’t even afford a regular bus
An Electric Bus will cost 3 times the price and we would have to spend millions on infrastructure
Remember “WE HAVE NO MONEY”

Studies have shown they cost less, are quieter, don’t call in sick (when they are not) and much more reliable
