Note the word "mulling" .... It means they are just thinking about it BUT not decided on it. They probably want to do a joint venture with someone else. So best not to count your chickens before the eggs are hatched.

This is just another press release with NOTHING behind it.

this could be a possible joint venture with the government as a means to eradicate yang mga jeepneys, parang swap agreement.

Possible. Para mabawasan na mga pangit na jeepneys.

Maganda sana kung ung mg bulok at karagkarag na jeepneys ay bibilin ng gobyerno in lieu of electronic jeepneys para sa mas magandang kalye sa MM. hindi na uusok at magiging mas malinis pa ang kapaligiran kahit papano.

Pero I guess, nasa maintenance at gasoline na ginagamit ng mga jeepney drivers ang ikaka improve ng system ehh.. kasi sa amin ung 20 year old pajero namin maintained naman ng maayos satisfactory na ang usok kasi diesel. medyo nagoover heat lang paminsan kasi due na for radiator replacement, Kaya nagiipon na para sa isang evercool replacement. pero other than that ok pa naman ang takbo.

Kaya kung magkakaron lang tlga ng break ang mga jeepney drivers kaya din nila in maintain ang mga PUVs nila.

Ok yan. Kung ok din ang power sources.

Lilinis nga hangin ng metro pero yung mga paglalagyan ng planta ng kuryente naman ang kawawa.

Sana clean energy na. Nuclear. Hehe.
