SUBIC BAY FREEPORT — This year's appointed Chairman and Administrator of the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority, Jonathan D. Tan, is now pursuing the Freeport's first public transportation system.
"Our nightlife here needs reviving since most of the restos [restaurants] and bars close early because of the lack of available transportation after 9 pm. Yes, we do have taxis, but for a simple employee of a restaurant or bar, taking the cab everyday would certainly hurt his or her income," Mr. Tan said in a statement released by the Agency.
The Agency's chief formed a Technical Working Group to setup the public transportation system.
"We are working and deliberating on some policies that will ensure stakeholders to avail of a free, round-the-clock public transportation in this premier freeport soon," Mr. Tan stated.
During his interview with Rico Hizon, He revealed that the S.B.M.A. is currently in the process of procuring ten (10) electric buses as a starter for the transportation system.
