              They need to tear up next to the road to install power poles
No one uses public transport only when it's the worst option. In my town public transport is cheaper than parking and only a little slower than driving so a large share of commuters use public transport. Yours must be expensive or inconvenient or uncomfortable

They’d have to tear down all the tall trees in the neighbourhood to make room for the power poles. There’s no way in hell the car-centric folks who live here would approve of that!

When you walk down the sidewalk around my street you walk in the shade of these trees most of the time. Replacing those trees with ugly power poles and overhead wires would ruin the character of the neighbourhood.
