First Balfour Inc., the engineering and construction arm of Lopez Group, is considering the development of an electric-powered transport system in Iloilo City.
The project aims to reduce carbon emissions and traffic congestion, while promoting local tourism and generating new jobs.
The envisioned transport system will feature a fleet of electric buses and supporting infrastructure, potentially a bus rapid transit system.
First Balfour’s proposal aligns with Iloilo City’s long-term plan to shift to non-polluting electric vehicles and transform into a highly urbanized center.
The company hopes its proposal can be integrated into Iloilo City’s local public transport route plan to improve convenience and safety for the riding public.
