Strategic Shift: Transitioning from Diesel to Compressed Natural Gas for Economic and Environmental Sustainability

The government took a strategic decision to change the fuel source from diesel to, um, a cheaper fuel source, compressed natural gas. Um, and that decision was made for economic reasons, efficiency, but more so to be able to manage the fuel stock and prevent theft of the diesel, which was at a level where it became a fiscal concern to the operational integrity of the JT system. So the customer will save, the commuter, the passenger will save from a cheaper fuel, but the passenger may not realise that they also save from less theft of fuel, which means that the J U. T. C. Can operate with its existing budget and give more service. That’s correct, sir. And also it’s a, it’s environmentally friendly. Yes.
