Nfinite and Batangas Transport Cooperative (BATRASCO) have partnered up to support and implement the Public Utility Vehicle (PUV) Modernization Project of the government.

This collaboration paved the way to a more modernized transportation system in Batangas, Lipa and Quezon Province. From onboard Wi-fi, BATRASCO modern jeepneys are also equipped with innovative technology such as GPS tracking, CCTV, comfortable chairs, and automated fare collection system (AFCS).

According to Mr. Teodoro De Silva, BATRASCO modern jeepney driver, these vehicles provide comfort to them and to passengers. As drivers, they receive complete benefits and daily wages. Unlike before when they used to drive traditional PUVs, their earnings are not enough to cover its maintenance and other expenses.
