The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) will phase out old buses to give way to pollution free-hybrid units.
The LTFRB said the phase-out will be carried out this year on buses that are more than 15 years old.
"Buses that will not be used anymore will be bought for scrap by financing institutions and will be recycled. The money will then be used as deposit for new units," said LTFRB chairman Thompson Lantion, citing a directive from Transportation and Communications Secretary Leandro Mendoza.
Hybrid buses will be powered by electricity and compressed natural gas, making them safe from pollution.
