It would be smart to point out how the staff in the last meeting
repeated the LIE that trolley buses would cost too much to install
because of wiring costs. Their figures on this were exaggerated and
the head of transit matters proved it when they first made this
nonsensical claim.

Do you want to help end this stupidity?
Thursday the MBTA is going to take up the issues of decarbonization and their capital budget again.

It would be helpful for people to write in and comment to the effect of :
* CIP - Ongoing concerns about the battery bus plan and the need for
trolley buses
* Decarbonization - The priority inversion of the T's understanding
not realizing their priority should be providing transit first because that directly reduces emissions

Listening to the public comments at the Newton School Committee tonight.
One person was almost in tears talking about composting initiatives. We should be friends.
We have another person demanding battery school buses. I am unsure how to even start explaining to them this isn't a good idea.
