The Boracay Land
Transport Multi-Purpose Cooperative (BLTMPC) has no plans in adding more traditional
tricycle units in Boracay.
According to
BLTMPC Board of Director Enrique Gelito, the local government has long been
planning to replace the traditional trikes with Electric Tricycles or E-trikes
on the island.
In fact, he
said, of the 575 traditional units, 200 have already applied to acquire an
E-trike.
Gelito added
that old tricycle units are still allowed to operate as long as its new and efficient,
if not then they will be replaced.
Meanwhile, the BLTMPC
continues to purchase more e-trikes from different suppliers in the country.
The BLTMPC and
the LGU Malay aims to replace the traditional units to lessen the pollution.
There are about
10 e-trikes operating in Boracay at the moment.
