GENERAL TRIAS CITY, Cavite – Public transportation in General Trias is going green as the city transitions to using electric buses.
Starting April 7, the PERJODA Transport Cooperative’s electric bus line will start plying routes within the city following the launch of its charging station in Barangay San Francisco.
Mayor Luis Ferrer IV said launching the electric bus line will help Public Utility Vehicle (PUV) drivers and operators, as well as the riding public, save fuel amid rising costs.
Despite going electric, the local chief executive assured commuters that there will be no fare hike.
“Napapanahon po ito lalo na sa gitna ng patuloy na pagtaas ng presyo ng krudo, kaya’t malaking ginhawa sa ating mga tsuper at mananakay ang pangako nilang walang dagdag na pasahe.”
Ferrer said the electric bus line promised to provide inclusive transportation services, with bus conductors assisting passengers, including Persons With Disabilities and pregnant women.
The city’s transition to electric vehicles started in November 2025, when PERJODA launched its Modernization program that promised modernized and eco-friendly electric public utility vehicles. (PB-PIA CALABARZON, Jon-Jon Ferrer/ Facebook)
