The e-jeeps are also cheaper to operate with a daily cost of P200 battery lease and P400 electricity cost, 40 percent less than that of diesel-fed counterparts.

they should first remedy or better yet fix the e-jeepney's potential route (like manila, if ever) wherein floods are a perennial problem. drivers love diesel engines (along with the submersible jeepney body) because it can easily ford knee-deep floods.

of course unless they can redesign the COMET to be able to ford knee deep waters. hehehe
