Part of the amount will come from the Clean Technology Fund (CTF), which is administered by a trust-fund steering committee and jointly handled by the World Bank, Asian Development Bank and other multilateral development banks. Villarete said $250 million of the total project cost would come from a World Bank loan, $50 million from the CTF, and another $50 million as counterpart funding from the government.

I hope it works too but I would never like to see the jeepney vanish completely,its part of the culture,an icon to the Philippines.If they get the bus idea off the ground I wonder if the laws will be enforced when taxis and trikes or what ever park at the bus stops causing just as much traffic jam with buses pulling up on the road way.
