He explained that BusCaracas vehicles are refilled with “clean fuel that avoids carbon gases,” as part of the comprehensive policy of environmental protection led by President Hugo Chávez. In addition, each bus is capable of carrying 165 people. A few weeks ago, the Internal Market Directorate of the Ministry of Oil and Mining had conducted the first natural gas refueling test.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Land Transportation said the technology used for the system, which covers 5.2 kilometers along this exclusive corridor¸ is a result of a China-Venezuela agreement.
