Seattle also has (or had) trolley busses which fixed that problem.

Everything is cost, it's all cost, not the ability to actually solve the problem.




I wonder if trolley busses will make a great comeback now. Seems so obvious to just put the overhead lines near a few central bus hubs, so buses can recharge during the shift.


The main issue with trolleybuses is that they are subject to a lot of NIMBYism, so you'll run into issues siting trolley hubs.
