Should Chakar fully transition to electric public transport?

The idea of transitioning Chakar’s public transportation fleet to fully electric vehicles has been gaining traction, but significant logistical and financial challenges remain. This debate will focus on whether this transition is feasible and what the timeline should be. What are the environmental benefits of electrifying public transport, and how do they compare to the costs?

Should we begin with specific bus routes or target high-traffic areas for electrification first?

Beyond financial concerns, the debate will also explore the city’s capacity for maintaining and expanding the infrastructure needed for electric vehicles, such as charging stations, and how to ensure that the transition benefits all residents, particularly those in underserved areas.
