    Is Auto-LPG a possible answer for cleaner & cheaper public transportation?

    Well, maybe not cheaper for the riding public but the cheaper cost of fuel might be a good incentive for PUV/PUB transport companies to take another look at LPG as a viable fuel.

    Although not really viable as a direct replacement for diesel in large vehicles (like buses), LPG can be more applicable for smaller vehicles to replace current vehicles like the jeepneys and FX-shuttles.

    The plan may not be as "radical" as the electric jeepney but this is more viable as the vehicles themselves will not be replaced by INFERIOR substitutes with many unmentioned but undeniable shortcomings.

    Simply put, replace the fuel with LPG.

    Of course you can not use LPG in diesel engines so the best option is to start from the source. Make a jeepney (or similar vehicle) that will use an engine that will use LPG as fuel. Make the engine simple so that even ordinary mechanics can service them. Use common engines as a base so parts will not be difficult.
