The Quezon City Government has rolled out eight (8) new electric QCity buses to roam around the city, offering free rides as part of their steadfast commitment to building a green, livable, and sustainable city.
With the conversion to electric vehicles, the city government aims to reduce 30% of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and improve the air quality in Quezon City by minimizing the black carbon emissions in the transportation sector by 25%.
The electric buses were built with a 41-seat capacity and enough space to accommodate a limited number of standing passengers. The floorings are lowered compared to the usual transportation, with wheelchair ramps and areas for PWD passengers. Each e-bus is also equipped with handrails, fire suppression, as well as emergency equipment, CCTV cameras, and a smart TV.
Assisted by the Traffic and Transport Management Department (TTMD) enforcers, the city’s transition to electric fleet conforms to Republic Act No. 11697 or also known as the “Electric Vehicle Industry Development Act or EVIDA Law.”
