    Then you need to cable all the roads of bits networks. That seems expensive. Incidentally the tram line my city is building will be battery powered for part of its route, as they’re not allowed to string pantograph wires in one area. It’s mostly on wires

      The cost is wayyyy less than letting cars on the road. And continuing the climate catastrophe

      It may seem expensive now but long term it pays off by having to not replace batteries as well as many external factors that good transit provides. I find the bigger pushback against overhead wires is how they look.
