So…how much do these buses weigh?
Has a structual engineer assessed causeway for capacity? For that matter has planning even got a structual engineer…must not my neighbour just put a two story build onna one story footing (house is 7 inches lower at one end hee hee hee…truth…he had to put a tarp for the cracks innit now…also who signed off on the shark hole escavation?

“So they bought expensive new buses that don’t work in the rain”

That is not what they said. PLP Minister Lawrence Scott said “At a cost of $132,000 per bus landed in Bermuda, the Xiamen bus is approximately 60% less expensive than the current $334,000 MAN bus, a savings of BMD$202,000 per bus.”

See https://bernews.com/2022/02/minister-scott-update-on-new-electric-buses/

Of course, for every hour they are on the road (when it is dry) they need 2 hours to charge, so each bus is only available 1/3 of the time (unlike the workhorse MAN diesel buses).

Actually they boasted how cheap they were ! Although maybe expensive for being made in China .

“Nine electric buses had interrupted service on Tuesday as a result of excessive wet weather”

Right, so no electric busses running next winter then!
