LPG for city buses

LPG for city buses

From Pelita

To reduce the air pollution level in Jakarta and its immediate
environment caused by motor vehicles' exhaust fumes, I think it
is high time big motor vehicles such as city buses used liquefied
petroleum gas. Efforts to reduce air pollution in the form of
mere slogans and statements are useless without a breakthrough in
action.

The authorities could issue policies which bind public
transportation companies to use this less polluting fuel. These
efforts may encounter initial difficulties in their realization
considering the high cost involved in the change. Public
transportation vehicles, mainly big motor vehicles, currently use
cheaper diesel fuel.

Nowadays only a few taxis use liquefied petroleum gas. I think
the other public transportation vehicles should follow suit. Only
then, will a cleaner atmosphere be created.
