“What mattered most to us was the evaluation of the passengers, which was excellent,” said Hutt, noting that commuters gave the Chinese buses an average 6.3 rating on a scale of 1-7, which surpassed Santiago’s subway.

Some 203 Chinese-made electric buses have joined the city’s transit fleet since December 2018, helping cut down air pollution and noise and reduce future public expenses, the report said.

The red-and-white fleet is 100% electric, air-conditioned, and equipped with Wi-Fi and USB ports.

Passengers “have really taken good care of them … they feel the journey is much better,” said Hutt, noting the lack of scratches and graffiti.
