China’s electric buses now recharged in just minutes—right at roadside charging stations! ⚡
Say goodbye to long downtimes and hello to cleaner, smarter urban travel. The future of public transport is here! 🔋
We have city councils across the United States who will fight to the death to prevent protected bike lanes because, they say, bike lanes bloc emergency response.
@krassenstein voter suppression, destruction of public education, suburbanization, citizens united, corporate takeover of all media, voter fraud and plain old lead poisoning of the entire population until the mid 90's to name a few.
