There are many cases where the EV busses have been abandoned. Busses typically do not do their route and stop, so getting a significant amount of charging for any busses requires extra busses that can be rotated on/off duty. If you design the system to depend on that charging then you need extra busses and you're effectively stuck with a sparse schedule. That is not a constraint to consider with petrol-powered busses. They can run nonstop as much as needed.

There is another thing cities should consider in all this: EV busses are totally unsuitable in emergencies. They cannot be charged fast enough, especially in extreme weather. You should consider this before buying an EV as well. At least, have a plan to arrange alternate transport with a reliable petrol vehicle.

Yes. But like I said: this was already the case with diesel buses. Nothing changes here. The duty rotation is demand-driven, not supply-driven.

> EV busses are totally unsuitable in emergencies.

Emergencies are the exception, and there are very few cases where regular city buses (of any kind) are going to be the backbone of a last-minute evacuation plan. And even in that case: usually you only need to drive a dozen miles / kilometers to get out of immediate danger - which should be perfectly doable.

I completely agree. Leaving a few dozen miles / kilometers of range in the battery not only is a sensible preparation for any kind of (natural or personal) emergency, but it is also better from a charging speed and battery longevity perspective.
