I'm OBSESSED with our LGU-owned city buses!!!

Finally! Quezon City LGU bought these electric low-entry buses for the city's bus augmentation program. I'd say buses like this are better than the coach-type buses of different provincial bus companies for many reasons:

Cost-effectivity: Theoretically, electric buses are cheaper to maintain as compared to diesel-powered buses. In addition, it is much cheaper to have own units in the long run than to give contracts to different provincial bus companies.

Accessibility: The ground clearance of these buses is low, so those who are struggling to get upstairs like people aged 60 and above won't have a difficulty onboarding. In addition, these are equipped with wheelchair ramps, similar to majority of EDSA Carousel buses.

Independency: As I've mentioned before, they won't have to rely on provincial bus companies such as Saulog, Genesis, Five Star, and First North Luzon once all of their buses are replaced with the electric ones.

Efficiency: As opposed to coach-type buses with only one tight entrance/exit, these electric buses have two wide entrances and exits so passengers can board and alight faster. Also, the capacity of these are larger (41 seating plus 15 standing) than the coach-type ones (45 to 53 seating).

I am looking forward to replace all coach-type buses of the QCBAP with the electric low-entry ones!
