I don't want them to come back. One of the key advantages of buses is that they're flexible and could react to shock loads. Moving people in bulk should be done with grade-independent rail, like the Skytrain.
- thinkythought 8y agoI wasn't a huge fan of them growing up in Seattle either, but the new ones are so much better. They have lithium batteries, a few miles of off-wire range, and auto-detach/reattach for the poles. Basically solved all the problems. They're also much peppier, and have AC.
