NYC could probably do that if the state and federal governments would fund it. But taking the bus example: NYC Transit is broke and cutting service every year. Currently a good chunk of the buses in service are 30+ years old. Replacing the entire fleet in 5 years? Fuhgeddaboudit.

No one said you had to replace the entire fleet in 5 years.

I said how about a plan to do something within the next 5 years rather than a “plan” to do everything in 20 years.

Starting with buses should be doable because it has already been done on a large scale in China.

But any forward progress would be nice.
