As said in the article they have vehicles that are 30 years old. The little vans in my area are worn, rusted and dented. If the new vehicles are of a similar quality where they can run them for a very long time, I have no quarrel about the per unit price.

But, what has been going on? In business we replace a percentage of our fleet each and every year. That gives a constant cost that isn’t over the top.
