The 22 or
so Electric Tricycle or E-trike units in Boracay are now allowed to line up for
commuters at the Cagban Jetty Port.
According
to E-trike Program In-charge Dante Pagsugiron, during a meeting with Aklan
Governor Joeben Miraflores and the Jetty Administration, it was agreed that
E-trikes can now enter and get in line at the port at any time.
However,
it was clarified, that the e-trikes must have a complete documentation.
This
includes the sticker and other pertinent papers required.
Pagsugiron
also explained that the e-trike’s current fare tariff is the tariff approved by
the municipal council or SB Malay.
Meaning
the colored blue and yellow tariff used by the tricycles will be the same for
the electric tricycles.
E-trikes
on the island are being supplied by Gerweiss Motors Corporation, ELAIE Green
Corporation, Tojo Motors Corp., and PROZZA.
The local
government meanwhile, targets that by 2015 the e-trikes will replace all
conventional tricycles.
Pagsugiron
said that aside from avoiding “noise and air pollution,” using the e-trikes is
also economical for the drivers.
