The long-awaited compressed natural gas (CNG) powered Sunlong buses have finally hit the streets, even though the Public Transport Service Company (PTSC) is still awaiting approval for its refuelling station.
On Friday Carl Ramdeo, deputy general manager of PTSC, marketing and communications, in a telephone interview, said all 35 buses, purchased at a cost of $38 million from China last year, were added to the corporation’s routes.
He said 20 of the buses were added to the routes last Thursday and the remaining 15 were put into circulation on Friday.
“The buses will be running East to West and North to South. The fares for using the buses will be the same fares between $4 and $6, depending on the route. The fees did not change,” he said.
He said the buses, five articulated, 15 regular large and 15 medium-sized, all have on-board cameras for safety.
Ramdeo said PTSC was still waiting for final approval from the National Gas Company on its CNG refuelling station at South Quay.
In the interim, he said, PTSC was using private CNG refuelling stations.
NGC, he said, was sorting out the paper work with the fuelling station.
“We anticipate that within another week we should have the refuelling station at PTSC ready but in the meantime we are using the private fuelling stations,” he added.
Ramdeo said the response from the public about the new buses had been pleasing.
“The feedback has been very, very good in terms of the seating, the capacity.
“People are happy that there are cameras on board and they are able to see the speed in kilometres that the driver is driving at.
“It is a really good experience a lot of commuters,” Ramdeo added.
He said the buses were very powerful with the CNG fuel and they were very efficient.
CNG-powered buses use a cleaner fuel which will be more cost effective for maintenance.

I must commend the UNC for this though. I hope it fares better than when they bought used buses for the Rural Transport Service.
