Reply to comment by crammed174 in High utility charges could derail MTA’s $1.1B electric bus transition by PichuLovy
it’s a great question and just one more reason that just swapping every ice car to an electric car is going to be woefully inadequate to meet climate needs. we need to reduce the need for personal cars whenever and wherever possible, incentivize making them smaller and less power-hungry, and generally undo the horrific trends in car and truck design and marketing that have been going on for years.

Right, it’s not your job to figure out a solution, but for all the money the government spends subsidizing highways and gasoline they could divert even a fraction of that to transit construction and operations and serve way more people. That’s the mental shift we need but I doubt it will happen in time, if ever.
