It really does make me wonder personally if trolley bus expansion really was the more affordable choice compared to battery bus expansion. I remember hearing numbers on the order of $10m per kilometre to expand trolley bus overhead lines, but if we're spending $6b on providing battery bus infrastructure that could have gotten us 600km of trolleybus lines.
