Good. We need more options besides “add some toll lanes that are $20”

@YetAnotherNerd @Amoxtli routes specifically inside downtown areas could be setup as electrified or "semihybrid" to save on fuel, ala the early Hop-A-Bus program of the late 70's/early 80's. They could be the test case for later expansion after economization studies are done.
