Green Frog Hybrid Buses


Green Frog Zero Emissions Transport Corp. or Green Frog Transport Corp. or simply Green Frog is an intercity bus company in the Philippines that introduced the first hybrid buses in the country.

History

Company founder Philip Apostol and associates conceived the idea of Green Frog in March 2012 with the aim of a safe, comfortable, reliable, environment friendly and sustainable public transportation.
Green Frog rolled out the pilot project on May 15, 2013 with 2 hybrid buses plying the route of Line 1 Gil Puyat Station in Pasay City to C-5/Butting in Makati City and vice versa. On November 14, 2014, the route extension to SM Mall of Asia in Pasay was approved by the LTFRB.

Fleet

The Green Frog was the first public bus company in the Philippines to operate two door, low floor Euro 4 compliant hybrid buses to be used for public transportation in the Philippines. The bus fleet was also one of the first in the country to implement the use of GPS, CCTVs for security, and the Tap Card payment system.

Operation

Green Frog buses currently traverse the three Central Business Districts of Pasay, Makati and Taguig beginning from the Pasay Central Business District through Makati Central Business District and to Kalayaan along the Bonifacio Global City area and back. By 2025, the company plans on expanding the route further to Kalayaan Ave. Terminal as to serve the passengers of the Metro Manila Subway Line 9.
