“Having E-Jeepneys will have New Jobs for more people but it will also have more taxes for the
government. It will also have Carbon Credits from Emission Reduction, Dollar savings from oil
reductions and many more positive effects”

Rey Gamboa (The Philippine Star) August 7, 2018

“The PUVs that will replace existing jeepneys, will be a great change for many people. It has
many benefits, even though it still can’t be called as “World Class”. The change to an E-Jeepney
from an old looking jeepney is very refreshing.”

Ben Kritz (Motion Digest) March 13, 2018

“The jeepney modernization will see the evolution of the Philippines Public Transportation
replaced with a large electric vehicle fleet. The biggest component of the comprehensive
initiative announced by the government in 2016. The Government hopes to complete this in
2020. Including the overhauling of the public transport route planning and franchising system.
upgrading the jeepneys will benefit the operators by combining them into larger groups; and
phasing out the “boundary” system in favor of regularized daily pay for transport drivers and
conductors.”

Hannah Alcoseba Fernandez (Eco-Business) August 7, 2019

“These new vehicles called E-Jeepneys run purely on electricity, it has supplied rechargeable
batteries. Although they look more similar to mini-buses or coasters, they are called E-Jeeps.
Having E-Jeepneys could also mean the loss of livelihood and jobs for normal Jeepney drivers
and it will be a slow end to a Filipino culture.”

Prime Sarmiento (Sci-Dev) March 16, 2012

“Having more E-Jeepneys is being seen as a way for the country to move on and have more eco-
friendly mass transport systems, Under a franchise to operate to, the charging fee for E-Jeepneys
is almost the same as the normal Jeepneys.”
Marc Adrian (Imoney) October 1, 2019

“The awful traffic paired with the old, rusty PUVs is a commuters worst nightmare. These
vehicles cause inconvenience to commuters and is also a threat to the health. Having E-Jeepneys
is a promising initiative aimed for improving the ways of public transportation.”

Anjo Bagaoisan (ABS-CBN News) October 13, 2017

“The Transition from normal jeepneys to newer more modern jeepneys will most likely takes 5
years to pull off. They should start as soon as possible with the modernization program.”
