Article isn't clear. The picture is a tour bus but the writeup implies transit bus.
Transit can work because with regenerative braking and rarely exceeding 40mph, efficiency is far better than a brick cruising at a steady 70mph.
No, savings from policing accidents is no where close to enough to justify free rides. Where you can justify is if you can avoid road widening and similar costs...but diesel busses do just as well at this.
Ok. But busses with tail pipes are being banned from more and more small towns and cities in Europe. People just don’t want tail pipes in their towns. We have see this first hand the hard way. :). . There is a market for tour busses without tail pipes.
