\nMANILA, Philippines — Operators of compressed natural gas-run buses have threatened to pull out of the Department of Energy’s Natural Gas Vehicle Program for Public Transport (NGVPPT) over the government\u2019s alleged failure to address the issues plaguing the program.
\nAccording to Roberto Torres, president of the RRCG Transport System Co. Inc., they have been unable to operate their CNG buses due to the inability of the “daughter” station of the Pilipinas Shell at Mamplasan to operate and provide fuel to them.
\nTorres said bus operators, which have already invested heavily for the project, have been losing some P200 million. He said his company has been suffering losses of about P1 million a month.
\n\u201cNeedless to say, the very promising pilot project of the NGVPPT has bogged down. We see our investment not only in the 45 CNG buses, but also in its technical support in terms of manpower training and supplier, as well as infrastructure-being wasted away and slowly sinking in the quagmire of Shell and DOE’s making,” he said.
