Sounds eminently sensible … it’ll never catch on.

Passengers having to get off a bus so it can reach the top of a hill?! A suburban railway sounds great.

It was quite scarey actually. I felt sorry for the driver. That’s the second time that’s happened- once at Abbeyhill the bus couldn’t pull away after the stop. I guess whatever test the electric bus company is doing doesn’t involve a lot of overweight people on the top deck and a very steep gradient.

Great article. Tx. The city needs an integrated transport system where a light rail network across the city connects with small electric shuttle buses filling up the gaps.
