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.[1]

History[]

Company founder Philip Apostol and associates conceived the idea of Green Frog in March 2012 with the aim of safe, comfortable, reliable, environment friendly and sustainable public transportation.[2]

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 to C-5/Buting in Makati and vice versa.[3] On November 14, 2014, the route extension to SM Mall of Asia in Pasay was approved by the LTFRB.[4] Then on March 2021, LTFRB approved the route extension to PITX in order to served the commuters from the provinces of Cavite, Batangas and Laguna. From PITX, these commuters will only have one seamless, comfortable, environment friend ride to the CBDs of Pasay, Makati and BGC.

Fleet[]

The Green Frog is a trend-setting company that changed the city bus industry. It is the first public bus company in the Philippines to operate two-door, low floor Euro 4 compliant hybrid buses equipped with GPS tracking system, CCTVs for security, and the Tap Card payment system. Now, the DOTR has mandated that all city buses look and are equipped just like Green Frog.

Operation[]

Green Frog buses currently traverse the three Central Business Districts of Pasay, Makati and Taguig (BGC) 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.[5]
