EV Buses Sit In Disrepair
from The Motor Files Podcast · host Chris Clarke
Millions of taxpayer dollars are sitting idle as electric buses in Miami-Dade and Broward fall into disrepair. See why these vehicles are failing. Local 10 investigations expose a costly reality for public transportation. While electric buses were meant to modernize the fleet, many units are now parked and unusable. This report breaks down the financial impact, revealing how each bus cost $900,000 only to become a burden rather than a solution. Operating costs for these units have proven significantly higher than traditional diesel buses. Taxpayers are left footing the bill for a project that has stalled, leaving transit authorities with expensive equipment that cannot run. This investigation highlights the specific procurement choices that led to this situation. Subscribe for weekly investigative breakdowns on local government spending, and comment below on how you think transit agencies should handle future fleet purchases.Affiliate Link: vidiq.com/PartsManProGrab a copy of my book:https://partsmanagerpro.gumroad.com/l/qtqaxBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-motor-files-podcast--4960744/support.
