Use these buses on the trolley wires! Battery-extended trolleybuses are the ultimate electric buses! Convert hill stints of busy bus corridors to trolley

Nothing says "Emerald City" like tweety-bird yellow and pastel blue...

The red and purple look ok, but the yellow and blue ones look silly. I'm not a pastels guy, they should have gone with a bolder color imho.

We've already had electric buses for ages. Trolly wires are more efficient, and should be expanded. Hell, our trolly buses already have had batteries for ages, too. There's nothing new here except the pit you're throwing the money into.

There is a reason they don’t expand the trolley network and install new miles of wire. It’s expensive. Metro is currently working on the 48 electrification. Most of the route is under existing wire but small portion along 23rd are not. That small 2 mile stretch is costing 14 million and will take 10 years when completed in 2026. The other is maintenance. It’s cost King County metro 3 million dollars every year to maintain current trolley service. That’s 1.17 for every mile of trolley service. Battery power has its flaws but it’s far cheaper to build and maintain.

Really!?! So that Federal tax money going to waste. Lets see, we're cancelling routes, a fleet of broken buses, this new color wrap done is done in non-union shops? More security on the the buses would be greatly appreciated.

It's about time! Can't wait to have fentanyl smoke blown towards me in an all-electric bus, as opposed to having smoke blown on me in those nasty diesel hybrids. Not to mention, the Easter egg blue and piss yellow color scheme is gorgeous.

Dude what bus factory doesn't? Go to Canada and show New Flyer how it should be done. Wonder how much hydro electricity powers Boeing factories

@@hobog than don’t claim zero emissions or bring up climate change. At this point ppl are tired of hearing buzzwords. How about just talk about making better public transportation that reliable and how its much better to rely on public transportation. I been to Europe and China where you don’t need a car .
