The Government of Quezon City has introduced electric QCity Buses in the Philippines. These buses, which will soon be part of the city’s fleet of approximately 100 vehicles, will provide free transportation to residents. Designed to be inclusive, the buses feature 41 seats, wheelchair ramps, and SMART TVs displaying information about city programs. This initiative supports the Electric Vehicle Industry Development Act (EVIDA Law), promoting the adoption of electric vehicles for sustainable urban development.
The city’s transition to electric buses aims to reduce black carbon emissions from the transportation sector by up to 25 per cent, contributing to improved air quality. This move reflects Quezon City’s commitment to a cleaner, greener, and healthier urban environment.
