    Nytårsrejsen Til Filippinerne – 2014

    Nytårsrejsen til Filippinerne – 2014. Martins Dagbog Dorte og Michael kørte os til Kastrup, og det lykkedes os at få en opgradering til business class - et gammelt tilgodebevis fra lidt lægearbejde på et Singapore Airlines fly. Vi fik hilst på vore 16 glade gamle rejsevenner ved gaten. Karin fik lov at sidde på business class, mens jeg sad på det sidste sæde i økonomiklassen. Vi fik julemad i flyet - flæskesteg med rødkål efterfulgt af ris á la mande. Serveringen var ganske god, og underholdningen var også fin - jeg så filmen "The Hundred Foot Journey", som handlede om en indisk familie, der åbner en restaurant lige overfor en Michelin-restaurant i en mindre fransk by - meget stemningsfuld og sympatisk. Den var instrueret af Lasse Hallström. Det tog 12 timer at flyve til Singapore, og flyet var helt fuldt. Flytiden mellem Singapore og Manila var 3 timer. Vi havde kun 30 kg bagage med tilsammen (12 kg håndbagage og 18 kg i en indchecket kuffert). Jeg sad ved siden af en australsk student, der skulle hjem til Perth efter et halvt år i Bergen. Hans fly fra Lufthansa var blevet aflyst, så han havde måttet vente 16 timer i Københavns lufthavn uden kompensation. Et fly fra Air Asia på vej mod Singapore forulykkede med 162 personer pga. dårligt vejr. Miriams kuffert var ikke med til Manilla, så der måtte skrives anmeldelse - hun fik 2200 pesos til akutte fornødenheder. Vi vekslede penge som en samlet gruppe for at spare tid og gebyr - en $ var ca. 45 pesos. Vi kom i 3 minibusser ind til Manila Hotel, hvor det tog 1,5 time at checke os ind på 8 værelser.

    Railway Transport Planning and Implementation in Metropolitan Manila, 1879 to 2014

    Journal of the Eastern Asia Society for Transportation Studies, Vol.12, 2017 Railway Transport Planning and Implementation in Metropolitan Manila, 1879 to 2014 Jose Regin F. REGIDOR a, Dominic S. ALOC b a,b Institute of Civil Engineering, College of Engineering, University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City, 1101, Philippines a E-mail: [email protected] b E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: This paper presents a history of rail-based transportation in Metropolitan Manila. This history focuses on urban transport including rail-based streetcars or trams that started operations in the 1880’s but were destroyed during the Second World War and never to be revived. Several plans are discussed. Among these plans are proposals for a monorail network, a heavy rail system, and the more current rail transit plans from recent studies like MMUTIS. An assessment of public transportation in Metro Manila is presented with emphasis on the counterfactual scenario of what could have been a very different metropolis if people could commute using an extensive rail transit system compared to what has been realized so far for the metropolis. Recommendations for the way forward for rail transportation in Metro Manila and further studies are stated in conclusion. Keywords: Transport Planning, Rail Transit, History 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Rail-based urban transport has had a relatively long history in Metro Manila despite what now seems to be a backlog of rail transportation in the capital city of the Philippines. In fact, the dominant mode of public transportation used to be rail-based with Manila and its adjoining areas served by a network of electric tranvias (i.e., streetcars) and heavy rail lines.

  • The Project for Capacity Development on Transportation Planning and Database Management in the Republic of the Philippines

    The Project for Capacity Development on Transportation Planning and Database Management in the Republic of the Philippines

    Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) The Project for Capacity Development on Transportation Planning and Database Management in the Republic of the Philippines MMUTIS Update and Enhancement Project (MUCEP) Manual vol. 3 Urban Transportation Planning December 2015 ALMEC Corporation Oriental Consultants Global Co., Ltd PREFACE The acceleration of economic activities and population concentration in Metro Manila and other cities in the Philippines has caused severe social problems such as traffic congestion, traffic accidents, and deterioration of the living environment. The development of the public transportation network is crucial in tackling these problems. In addition, investment in infrastructure development is essential to realize a sustainable economic growth. Metro Manila, in particular, requires a transportation policy to facilitate a modal shift from private cars to public transportation by developing and integrating transportation networks and strengthening linkages between transportation modes. It is within this context that the Government of Japan has provided technical assistance to the Philippines’ Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and other related agencies through the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) in conducting a capacity development project entitled “The Project for Capacity Development on Transportation Planning and Database Management in the Republic of the Philippines.” MUCEP, as the project is known (short for MMUTIS Update and Capacity Enhancement Project), has been carried out for more than four years, starting on 27 September 2011 and completing on 30 November 2015. The overall project goal of MUCEP is to enable the DOTC to prepare a public transportation plan for Metro Manila for strategic corridors by strengthening their capacity in transportation database management and public transportation network planning.
  • 1 the Cost of Fare-Free Public Transit in the COVID Economy

    1 the Cost of Fare-Free Public Transit in the COVID Economy

    The Cost of Fare-Free Public Transit in the COVID Economy: Looking into the Case of the EDSA Carousel Bus System in the Philippines Ivan Harris Tanyag University of the Philippines, Diliman ([email protected]) Abstract Transportation costs in public transit are usually fixed to provide mobility to the largest segment of the public. Subsidies are also provided in the form of discounts to students, the elderly, and persons with disabilities. Operators are subjected to follow a fare matrix based on the travel distance between two points. Subsidizing the full transportation costs would require the government to allot funding to cover the operation costs. Businesses may also provide free transit, though most of their operation is funded through corporate sponsorships. Only a few cities in the world currently operate on this scheme, most likely due to the resistance against fare-free public transit policies (FFPT). In the Philippines, this was introduced in a newly-built bus rapid transit (BRT) throughout the Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA), one of the major thoroughfares in Metro Manila during the onslaught of the coronavirus pandemic. This paper analyzes the contributory effect of an FFPT in the country's economy through a cost-benefit analysis. As most of the stations throughout the bus line are found in central business districts across the region, it has incentivized workers who heavily depend on public transit. It has also increased the level of mobility throughout the area, thus increasing the household consumption made. However, it has affected other public transit in the area, such as the Metro Rail Transit (MRT-3), whose operation also relies on government expenditures.
