It's been said many times already but cities really need to get their public transit in order so they can fix traffic congestation and improve the lives of their residents but I still have some questions about some ideas I had.

  1. How much would it cost for a city to electrify their entire bus fleet? Yes, people taking the bus is still a good thing but a lot buses still run on some fossil fuel.

  2. How much would it cost a city with no rail/metro infrastructure to create it from scratch?

My independent research says they could pay for it, but the government doesn't allow it

Cities with leftist presence however have more public transport

This means that this is an issue with the AKP party

H....mmmmmm.....
