Canandaigua returns electric buses after technical glitches

By Eve

The city of Canandaigua in New York has returned its electric buses due to recurring technical problems, according to the Finger Lakes Times. The decision marks a setback for the municipality's electrification plans, though specific details on the number of vehicles or the nature of the glitches were not disclosed in the available report.

Why it matters: Fleet reliability remains a critical procurement risk for transit operators adopting electric buses, with technical failures potentially delaying wider rollout plans and affecting vendor selection criteria for future tenders.
