The Government of the City of Buenos Aires, led by Jorge Macri, once again celebrated the arrival of "eBus" buses, which are "inclusive," "sustainable," and "electric," costing millions of dollars and will be driven exclusively by women.
On social media, the spokesperson for the City Government, Laura Alonso, posted: "The eBus is coming to traverse the Historic Center of the City. It's the first step toward the decarbonization of transport. Accessible, sustainable, and electric. From Retiro to Parque Lezama. Buenos Aires always projecting into the future".
These new buses had caused strong criticism toward Macri's Government weeks ago, as they represent a new episode of waste of public resources.
The controversy is not only about spending millions of dollars on a fleet of electric buses but also about the unusual and questionable details of them, which reveal the lack of common sense and the deepening of an ideological agenda that raises more doubts than solutions.

According to the information provided by the Minister of Infrastructure, Pablo Bereciartua, these buses, which are already on their way to Argentina directly from China, have an autonomy of 170 km and a maximum speed of 12 km/h.
