The COMET, or Community Optimized Managed Electric Transport, is an electric transport service operated by Global Electric Transport (GET) Philippines. They started operations in 2014 with two units plying the SM City North Ave. to LRT-Katipunan route. Starting 2015, new routes were also added.In September 2015, upgraded batteries were introduced that doubled the distance before recharging from 25 kilometers to 50 kilometers. Aside from their Quezon City route, they also operate a shuttle service in Clark International Airport.
COMET uses a tap card system (called a GET Pass) that you can reload at the COMET terminal booth. Starting March 2016, single journey payments were also made available for those who didn't want to use a GET Pass. Please refer to the infographic below for more details:
Operating schedule is Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:30pm (except holidays).
The COMET e-jeepneys also have GPS, CCTV, flatscreen TV (for advertisements) and WiFi connection so passengers can enjoy a measure of both convenience and security during their trips.

how does gps works in e-jeepney? what is its use? thanks
ReplyDeleteGPS or Global Positioning System allows one to determine the location of the transmitting device. It's pretty standard now among trucking and other more progressive transport companies because it allows the headquarters to know if a vehicle is moving, stalled or is deviating from its standard route. In short, it's a security and monitoring system.
