It’s never enough for you people.

People love to let the perfect be the enemy of the good. They oppose incremental progress and preserve the status quo as a result.

Everything converges into either crabs or trains.

It's not about being enough. Battery powered busses are very expensive and baterries need replacement and maintenance. Trolley buses are a cheaper investment in the long term. So it's frustrating when new projects choose baterry buses instead of trolley buses. It always feels like corruption to me.

Trolley are better in a lot of cases, but not in all of the cases.
