MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – As part of its public transportation modernization program, the Land Transportation and Regulatory and Franchising Board (LTRFB) is now requiring all public buses to install air-conditioning in all their units.

But it is also aware that purchasing new air-conditioned buses may pose some financial difficulty for some bus companies.

So, as a compromise, LTRFB is allowing buses to just install home aircon units on their existing buses, as long as they are at least 1.5 HP.
