This is beyond idiotic. Ignorant virtue signaling at its worst.

 

[Vinson57]

Big Electric Bills.

Commie plans is to suck states into this bullshit.

My dogs will have to learn to hate something else also.

 

[FRANKIE]

The way shits going, they’ll be lucky if they still have schools in 5 years

 

[Defilade]

WE GOTTA SAVE THE PLANET!!!!!!!

 

[Bigfoot]

Get ready for big increases in school taxes.

[Cooolone]

And in 5 years as those NY State School Districts budgets explode, who's going to fix things? We know it won't be those in charge... But we do know who'll be footing the Bill for their folly!

I'll be long gone from this place by then... Good Luck folks!

[Deplorable Me]

If an electric car battery costs X, how much does an electric bus battery cost?

for the hybred busses they rolled out a few years ago they are 100k per bus when they fail they are put in the storage lot as no one can afford to fix them

 

[Hochulsucks1234]

Our rural district has already started a study to prepare for this disaster. Issue #1 - The bus garage will need to be retrofitted and new power lines run at the tune of over a million dollars. Issue #2 - Some routes will need to be split due to battery life..no joke. Our district spans many many miles. One route has to go out 45 minutes to get some kids.

This is one big cluster fuck

It is a clusterfuck, run by deranged, fat, cat ladies seeking to somehow get revenge at MAGA.
We with testosterone blindness, will have the last laugh as we roar by in our hot rods and muscle cars, till hell freezes over, carrying our AR15's.
Grindhouse................lives.

Oswego, Fulton, Brewerton, Cicero Utica-Rome, Fonda, Cayuga County, raceways, will never go EV.........

I pollute more than 100 households each year ,"and I believe that there are many more out there---Usul--- they exist in numbers-vast numbers."

 

[pjzwtl]

Question: What about districts that contract out bus service?

I think you can add Jefferson, St. Lawrence, and Lewis Counties to that list...Too cold, routes can run upwards of a hundred miles in a day, and we just don't have the money to replace the whole damn Fleet, and even if we did, do you really think the industry can crank out enough Busses? it takes orders placed year(s) in advance. I wonder what the requirement (if any) for Private Contracted School Bus Service will be? Watertown City Schools used Freeman Bus for decades until undercut by First Student (that's resorted to aggressive advertisement/recruiting for Drivers)

Can't wait till they try to get the new electric service installed at the bus garage to support the chargers.

"That's more power than the rest of the town uses..., no, we can't supply that".

 

[Truebeliever]

These morons don’t realize that there is no money for it and it actually causes more pollution than traditional diesel school buses .

 

[kev74]

In seven years, school districts will resume buying diesel busses.

Albany is like the Mos Eisley space port. You won’t find a more retched hive of scum and villainy. No doubt they’re getting kickbacks for this.

This is EXACTLY what NiMo said when our local district began investigating. The bus lot is on a main road through town with at least 1000 homes nearby, so the electrical infrastructure is reasonably modern/robust. Still not nearly enough capacity to allow even a fraction of the fleet to go electric.

 

[Uninformed and Compliant]

Wait til they see what the increased weight does to the tarmac.

I would say that makes DC Jabba's palace, but Jabba actually knew how to manage an organization.

"The electrification of buses — both transit and school buses — provides a reliable and cost-effective option"

Progressive is obviously a mental illness. Electric vehicles are NOT cheap. They are NOT cost effective. They require far more infrastructure. They place extreme demand on the power grid. They are prohibitively expensive to maintain and repair. And they don't fucking work in extreme conditions. Kind of like the conditions we get all the time in NYS.

What the hell, lets just raise the tax rate to 25%. IT'S FOR THE CHILDREN!

School bus Fire in .. 3...2.....1

It seams to me that the EV vehicles catch on fire more often then the ICE vehicles do ..

 

[kev74]

They should put solar powered windmills on the busses.
