Backtrack or setback?

The French city of Lyon will replace all of its 26 electric buses with diesel ones. Why, you ask? Because the former only seat 26 and the latter 51. And because there are of course neither manufacturers nor suppliers who could provide more seats and an electric drivetrain… Or maybe Lyon should just subscribe to electrive.com.
