    I have not had a chance to go through all 104 pages, so sorry if any of these questions have already been answered.

    My questions are to any jeepney drivers and owners out there.

    What is the average financing arrangement for a new jeepney to a driver?

    How many kms do you ACTUALLY drive daily? How much does this cost you in fuel?
    Be as accurate as possible and please note the city of your route.

    What is the top speed you are able to achieve on your route?

    Is there anything about your traditional jeepney that you cannot live without?


    Thanks for any help in advance.

    BTW, This will not be another extended golf cart. I don't do golf carts.

    Came across this sa facebook.. Battery-operated daw, selling it for 35k. Is it a good buy?

    I don't have any idea how to maintain it... do I need to register it sa LTO? Pwede ba ito sa Nat'l highway? I read few pages back and noted the problems with the use of battery (lifespan, charging stations, etc)

    Basically, I intend to use it as school service for about 2kms from home pero dadaan ng national road. Anu advise nyo mga gurus?

    what battery did they use?... standard car battery or deep cycle battery? If they used standard car batteries, the battery life will be very short and will cost you more than the cost of fuel to replace.

    35k?

    A single deep cycle cell costs 20k. That'll get you maybe four or five kilometers of range.

    Also, best find out what motor they put in there. At that price, it's probably a small one, which means you're not getting on the highway at all, or going much faster than a golf cart.

    Whether it's worth it depends on the condition, how powerful it is, how many batteries are in it, and how much life they have left in them.

    If the motor is good and the batteries are okay, you could do worse. But it will never be legal for road use. Pang subdivision lang.

    di ako owner or driver pero dalawa ang ineexpect kong sagot nila:

    1. marunong ba lumangoy sa dagat ng basura ang e-jeepney? baka malunod yan.

    2. tangke ang diesel jeep ko. kahit anong kotse takot dumikit. (lugi kasi wala nang ipapangit yung jeep)

    We won't be seeing any E-shuttles yet in January 2014. (Originally scheduled for Jan 2014 launching)

    The initial schedule for roll-out has been pushed back. I wonder what is the hold up? Red tape?
