Yeah but this dude has this thing called common sense, try acquiring that first.
Maybe then you can think about the implications of BE buses more than " cables need to be installed therefore Be is better than trolley"
You might think about stuff like extra weight extra purchase cost, decreased capacity, more expensive road maintenance cost, less uptime due to charging, less efficiency due to weight, decreased range in cold or hot when AC is needed that makes everything worse
Show me a town that recently switched to trolleys and done a cost/benefit analysis after couple of years that confirms they saved money and I will absolutely agree with you.
I don’t have data, you don’t have data. All we know is that lots of cities choose electric/hybrid buses while no cities choose trolleys. If you think it’s because everyone working in the public transport departments is stupid and only some youtuber is super smart that’s fine. I’m sceptical.
Literally the first city I checked is switching gas powered buses to trolleys and new bus purchases are going down to 0 and Brno unlike many cities has an excellent public transport system
You checked one city at random and they were switching to trolleys? Amazing. Anyway, good for them. Let’s hope it will work and in a couples of years we’ll have some hard data to base policy on.

Why don’t you show me a town that switched from trolleys to BeBs and saved money ?

Not at random, I lived there for 9 years, so it’s a city close to my heart.
