The plan, which the mayor

The plan, which the mayor announced on September 17, is to replace the envisioned 25,000 3-wheelers in Manila with 10,000 seven-seat electric tricycles or “e-trikes,” for which the town will to start with spend P120 million. The Binondo and Malate neighborhoods could be the primary to peer the brand new e-trikes, which have a charging time of approximately four hours and more than a few about 80 kilometers. The metropolis will foot the invoice for recharging, and make two charging stations available at either stop of every precise e-trike route.

A organization of 50 tricycle operators from the Binondo and Malate TODAs (Tricycle Owners and Drivers
Associations) were selected to receive the new e-trikes within the first segment of the project, for which they may pay a “boundary” or franchise fee of P200 consistent with day to the town. This need to be a lift to their each day income, due to the fact on common, at least according to Erap, a tricycle driver generally spends P150 per day for the boundary rate and approximately P200 on fuel.
