There are growing concerns about the escalating costs associated with storing electric buses, as highlighted by the Public Accounts Committee (PAC). The current bill stands at €7 million, but there are fears that this figure could continue to rise.
The committee’s chairperson has voiced worries that the lack of timely deployment of these buses could lead to additional financial burdens. These buses, intended to modernize public transport infrastructure, remain unused, incurring storage expenses.
The situation underscores the challenges in efficiently integrating new technologies into existing systems. The delay not only impacts financial resources but also the intended environmental benefits of transitioning to electric vehicles.
Efforts to address the issue are being urged, with calls for better planning and execution to prevent further unnecessary expenditure.
