I am not as familiar with this transit plan as I should be, but I have a question. Earlier this year I read that the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School System planned to buy several new electric buses. I have no problem with the concept of that, but isn't there an opportunity here for the school system to collaborate with the transit system and reduce costs over time? It seems like it would be worth talking about. The transit system needs more consistent ridership, and the school system wants more energy efficient buses. Seems like it could be a perfect opportunity. Why do I think no one in either system will like it?
