THE CEBU Integrated Transport Multi-purpose Cooperative (CITRASCO) has expressed willingness to be a recipient of the electronic jeepneys or e-jeep being offered by Australian firm Star 8 Green Technology Corporation for free. CITRASCO General Manager Ryan Benjamin Yu said their group has about 1,000 units of gasoline- or diesel-powered jeepneys and they are ready to have all that replaced with e-jeeps. The Visayas United Drivers Transport Services Multipurpose Cooperative, through its chairman Alex Bordadora, has likewise expressed readiness to shift to the e-jeeps, which were demonstrated by Star 8 last Saturday at the Cebu Technological University. In a press conference, Star 8 Chief Executive Officer Jacob Maimon said they are offering their solar-powered vehicles free of charge to the drivers as they are counting on advertisements as revenue source. — The Freeman
