Everett’s electric bus fleet faces setback, city turns to retrofitted diesel buses for now
by Joel Moreno, KOMO News Mar 15th 2025
“Ongoing problems with a series of electric buses convinced Everett city leaders to scrap that part of the transit fleet and sell the vehicles.”
“Reliability issues and difficulty getting replacement parts drove the decision, which led to a city council vote earlier this week.”
“Everett Transit owns nine of these buses and there are so many problems that right now only four are still in service. The city does have a backup plan and is looking to purchase reconfigured diesel buses so there are no gaps in service.”
“The electric buses to be sold are made by a company called Proterra, which went bankrupt two years ago.”
All paid the same whether customers are happy or not?
The people who create the grant program, distribute the grant money and make use of the grant funds get paid the same whether the program is a success or not.
Any college or pro football coach would be fired if they failed to produce results.
“The buses to be sold cost more than $9 million when the city bought them in 2017 and 2019. Most of that money came from state and federal grants.”
