Ireland ordered more than 130 electric double-decker buses before ensuring its depots could even charge them. As of July, most of the buses were still sitting idle in storage, even though many were delivered more than two years ago. The cost of storing and servicing the electric fleet has now reached almost €7 million. Officials blame missing grid connections and charging infrastructure. But a charger is not an optional extra for an electric bus. Ireland bought the photo opportunity before building a functioning transport system. Taxpayers paid millions for the electric buses. Paid millions more to store them. Then kept paying to run diesel buses anyway.

In Agra, Uttar Pradesh, illegal collections aren’t limited to private vehicles anymore. Even government buses are allegedly being forced to pay to stop on public roads. A security guard wearing a UP State Road Transport Corporation ID card is reportedly making buses halt in the middle of the road, putting passengers and other commuters at risk. Public roads are not private toll booths. Who authorized this and where is the accountability?
