        9 trolleybus lines, 3 of which I know have about 1/3rd without trolley wires at the end so buses go on battery/diesel

          Santiago has 300 hundred lines of bus. all of them potentially serviceable by EBs.

          Even if we electrified the main corridors, we would still need a lot of buses able to run the entire length of the rout independently.

          and Santiago being Santiago that kind of infrastructure would be damaged on riots or something.

            Okay? Doesn’t mean Trolleybuses aren’t the best compromise. Infrastructure costs money, so lets make the same argument about roads shall we?

              we have private hways so the state doesn’t have to pay as much.

              We aren’t a rich country.

                Then privatize your local public transport. That is how it works in many of my country’s cities. Networks are usually only half owned by the city government
