LPG buses on the road

Heheheh siguro nag-iisip kayo noh??? LPG, hindi ba pang kusina lang yun??? I’m sure yan ang tanong nyo. Well, you’re wrong kasi pweded rin sa mga vehicles ang LPG. In fact, DENR has welcomed the plan of having LPG buses. This project might be implemented after 2 years. According to Atienza,this could lessen air pollution in Metro Manila dramatically.

There is already a plan and prototypes have been delivered to DENR, the remaining concern will be convincing bus operators to use LPG instead of other petroleum products. I believe that DENR’s plan will be of great help but it should also focus on how to implement the program because every program needs proper implementation to be effective. DENR should be able to convince operators to follow because the program will be useless if operators will not support it. It should make operators realize the importance of reducing pollution so that they will be more encouraged to support the program. At the same time people should also be encouraged to patronize LPG buses once they are available because when operators see that more people prefer environment friendly buses, they will be more motivated to use LPG.

DENR’s plan is another program that may bring great changes. I just hope that it gets implemented properly and most importantly I hope people will support it.
