San Francisco. In conjunction with 61 new biodiesel-electric hybrid buses, these $1.1 million-a-piece vehicles were touted as a crucial investment in a public transit system still running buses 20-plus-years old.

Easy solution -raise taxes on the evil working class and buy new buses!

The problem is not the buses. The problem is the overpaid incompetent asses the city has hired who make these crucial purchase decisions.

Meetings because everyone gets a chance to show how smart they are.

I wanna know where were all of the Scientist, and Engineers while the planning phase was happening?

Oh that's right, as long as you believe in global warming, then you can be a Scientist and Engineer in SF working on important hill climbing Muni transportation.
I bet 80% of the cost of that bus is to off set the effects of Global warming though idinit?

Muni's solution? Run the new buses on flat routes.

That's not a solution, that's a work-around.

It's an unsolicited reach-around for the taxpayer

Yeah, and the stupid government employee who didn't read the specifications on the buses probably still has their job too.

Not only does he still have his job, he probably got a promotion - the Peter Principle you know.
