Why do transit agencies keep falling for the hydro...
Seattle also has (or had) trolley busses which fixed that problem.
Everything is cost, it's all cost, not the ability to actually solve the problem.

I wonder if trolley busses will make a great comeback now. Seems so obvious to just put the overhead lines near a few central bus hubs, so buses can recharge during the shift.

The main issue with trolleybuses is that they are subject to a lot of NIMBYism, so you'll run into issues siting trolley hubs.
