NEWS: Exemption of tricycles from road user's tax sought

[boybi]

Laki na nga ng budget deficit, babawasan pa ang tax. Ang makikinabang pa yung mga undisciplined tricycles!!!

[vinj]

Hindi pa ba tayo nakaka-quota sa katangahan for the week?

Parang awa nyo na.

They should be taxed since they are earning from using the road!

Sige, walang road user tax pero dapat wala din sila sa mga National Road. Any trike driver who is run over by a SUV, car, bus or is even shot, stabbed and maimed while using his trike on a national road... walang kaso.

the ADB wants the Phil. govt to phase out tricycles

offers loans to finance purchase of e-bikes

$280m for tricycle phase-out eyed

THE Asian Development Bank is offering the Philippine government as much as $280 million in loans to finance a proposed refleeting program for tricycle drivers and operators to shift to electric motorbikes or e-bikes.

“The loan will be coursed through ADB conduit banks like Land Bank for relending to tricycle drivers who may want to shift into using e-bikes,” Environment Secretary Ramon Jesus Paje told reporters in a briefing Tuesday.

He said the ADB will be giving as donation 30 e-bikes for distribution to the local governments of Metro Manila.

“ADB wants us to sample the bikes to see for ourselves that these machines are totally pollution-free. No emissions, less pollution,” he said.

The DENR claimed that replacing all tricycles with e-bikes will free the country of as much as 20 million metric tons of carbon footprint in a year’s time.

“We could go into carbon trading. That will earn for us the dollar equivalent which we can use to offset a portion of the loan,” Paje said.

An initial study showed that tricycle drivers can save up to P300 daily if they use e-bikes.

“Four hours of charging would only cost P40 compared to P340 in fossil fuel. The acquisition cost is about 20 to 30 percent higher than fuel-fired motorcycles but the overhead cost is certainly lower,” he said.

There are about five million tricycles all over the country, of which 2.8 million run in Metro Manila.

The DENR said the proposed shift to e-bikes will help the country attain a 25 to 30 percent reduction in pollution in all urban centers by 2011.

hahahaha

good luck with that

it's similar to the vision where ejeepneys would replace PUJs

how's that going?

wanna bet tricycle phaseout won't happen?

BTW, sounds like some e-bike supplier has friends in the ADB
