Isn't the issue electric bus delivery is slow?
Also, there's an argument to be made that the cost of 2 diesel buses = 1 electric bus. Better to have 100 people on two diesel buses then 50 on an electric bus and rest in cars

"city won't be picking up the tab for the entire project. The current existing tax base on the original number is about $160 million. The bigger chunk of the cost will be covered by the development’s residential and retail property taxes" 2/x
