Asheville’s ambitious leap into eco-friendly transportation has morphed into a financial sinkhole and a source of frustration for city officials.
In 2018, the city heralded the purchase of five state-of-the-art electric buses, each with a price tag of over $616,796, abc13 News reported.
Fast forward to today, and this green dream has morphed into a financial nightmare, with most of the fleet idled due to a series of almost unbelievable misfortunes.
Interim Transportation Director Jessica Morriss reported that three of the five buses are currently inoperative, with one bus sidelined by a malfunctioning double door since July.
Oh my! Who would have thought such a thing would happen?
My father a very common man always said the more intelligent a man think he is,”The more he seems to waste”. Took me a short time to understand his opinion.
Ha, ha, ha. Idiots!
Ashville, F*ck’em.
Someone didn’t due their due diligence, AKA kickbacks. Does Director Jessica still have a job? I bet so.
But, but…look how much money they saved in fuel costs…
North Carolina must be pretty FUBAR at this point. I can’t remember the last week that went by where there wasn’t news of some sort of whackadoodle leftist BS going on there. Tennessee doesn’t seem to be far behind. Nor Calizona.
