And why would people downvote this comment? Agree or disagree, but downvoting a completely harmless comment like this is just bad for the conversations here.

I did. And I don't mean to violate rules or to be insulting, but it set off my skepticism side. The comment, to me, did not seem to be from someone who writes English as a first language. The account is two days old, and has made only two pro-China comments. I mean no offense to the poster, but I'll remain skeptical for now.

I'm curious to know more. I tried to look into it but all I could find were news articles and press releases saying that the first electric buses in the province were set to arrive in 2019
