The study was undertaken by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, Government of Philippines with technical assistance provided by the Government of Japan, through Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). One of the objectives of the study is to prepare the public transport system development plans including the terminal facilities. Traffic surveys and investigations on the public transport systems were carried out carefully and several improvement plans were proposed. However, the implementation of said plans were not realized due to the lack funds. Figures 2.11 to 2.13 are comparative photo essays of the terminal conditions during the JUMSUT and MMUTIS periods. FIGURE 2.11 COMPARISON OF THE TRAFFIC CONGESTION AT TERMINAL AREAS, JUMSUT AND MMUTIS JUMSUT (1984) MMUTIS (1996) Angle parking of vehicles on road forcing pedestrians to walk on the road where traffic flows. Sidewalk vendors are a sight at most LRT stations forcing pedestrians to encroach on the carriageway.

However, there is no provision for a proper public transportation facility. FIGURE 2.13 AURORA BLVD/EDSA INTERSECTION AREA JUMSUT (1984) MMUTIS (1996) Unfortunately, no improvement is observed in this area for the past 10 years or more. It is expected that the on-going LRT Line 3 project will bring about changes to the traffic situation of the area. 2-13 METRO MANILA URBAN TRANSPORTATION INTEGRATION STUDY TECHNICAL REPORT NO. 5: TRANSPORTATION TERMINALS The general traffic conditions at terminal areas for 1984 and 1996 are shown in Figures 2.11 to 2.13. Additionally, succeeding photos depict the existing terminal conditions by major public transport modes. There are presently five (5) types of public transportation modes operating in Metro Manila. These are the PNR railway, LRT (Line 1), Bus, Jeepney and Tricycle. The transportation terminals are basically provided separately by type of mode. (PNR Inter-urban Railway) Presently, the Philippine National Railway (PNR) is the only inter-urban railway operated from north to south in Metro Manila. The PNR rehabilitation project has been recently carried out to provide efficient commuter rail service. However, reliability and efficiency of the service has not improved yet. FIGURE 2.14 EXISTING PNR STATIONS A station in the urban center. Entrance of the station occupied by vendors and squatters. A station in the suburban area showing Station area occupied by squatter houses. passengers on the rail tracks. (LRT Line 1) LRT Line 1 is operating from Monumento to Baclaran passing through the urban center of Metro Manila. The system was initially planned to carry 250 thousand passengers per day. However, almost 400 thousand passengers are presently using the system daily. 2-14 METRO MANILA URBAN TRANSPORTATION INTEGRATION STUDY TECHNICAL REPORT NO. 5: TRANSPORTATION TERMINALS Due to this extremely large demand, major terminal areas are very congested with passengers overflowing from station and pedestrian walkways. Likewise, a lot of jeepneys and tricycles are competing for passengers on the frontage roads of the stations. In order to meet the large demand, Line 1 expansion program is being undertaken. This will eventually place added burden on the operation and management at terminal areas. FIGURE 2.15 EXISTING LRT LINE 1 STATION AREA LRT passengers overflowing at stations. Paralyzed traffic by passenger and Jeepneys. LRT passengers overflowing at sidewalks. Unutilized space in front of LRT station (BUS) The bus transport system is the most important public transportation mode for the medium to long distance trip users in Metro Manila. This is due to the lack of efficient rail-based transport system. A large number of buses on the major arteries are generating serious traffic bottlenecks, particularly at bus stops and terminal areas as shown in Figure 2.16. Presently there are more than 100 bus companies serving urban and inter-urban routes. Their terminals are provided individually, scattered along EDSA and along the LRT Line 1 corridor. The terminal conditions differ from one another. Only a few large bus companies can afford to build a comfortable terminal facility while most of the other companies have to manage within a limited space and facility. Furthermore, there is no appropriate coordination with other public transport modes to access the terminals. 2-15 METRO MANILA URBAN TRANSPORTATION INTEGRATION STUDY TECHNICAL REPORT NO. 5: TRANSPORTATION TERMINALS FIGURE 2.16 EXISTING BUS STOPS AND TERMINALS Insufficient bus stop Double parking disturbing general traffic flow No facility for transfer in front of the bus terminal.

FIGURE 2.17 EXISTING JEEPNEY TERMINALS Off-road terminal (improper maintenance) Jeepney terminal utilizing local road Off-road terminal (vacant land) Road-side parking 2-16 METRO MANILA URBAN TRANSPORTATION INTEGRATION STUDY TECHNICAL REPORT NO. 5: TRANSPORTATION TERMINALS (Jeepney) The highest share in the public transportation modes in Metro Manila is the jeepney. There is quite a large number of jeepneys existing basically for short and medium distance commuter trips. The jeepneys are operated by small private companies so that they can use only vacant spaces or road spaces for their terminals. Because of their serious impact on traffic, MMDA and LGU’s in coordination with the jeepney associations are providing appropriate loading and unloading areas for the jeepneys to lessen or avoid their uncontrolled operations on the major arteries. 2.4 Results of the Passenger Interview Survey at Terminal From the transportation planning point of view, the largest problem involving terminals is the traffic congestion around terminal areas. Terminal users are both the victims and the causes of the problem. To better understand the terminal problem, MMUTIS conducted a Passenger Interview Survey in 1996, the pertinent results of which are presented in Table 2.3. TABLE 2.3 TERMINAL PROBLEMS NOTED BY PASSENGERS Jeepney Bus LRT Total Problems No. % No. % No. % No. % Poor outside access 394 18.3 246 21.0 132 14.0 772 18.1 Congestion inside 186 8.6 94 8.0 193 20.4 473 11.1 Unpaved grounds 230 10.7 91 7.8 46 4.9 367 8.6 Unclean surroundings 398 18.5 106 9.0 68 7.2 572 13.4 Poor security 237 11.0 158 13.5 73 7.7 468 11.0 Poor waiting facilities 365 16.9 269 23.0 177 18.8 811 19.0 Undisciplined drivers 128 5.9 66 5.6 7 0.7 201 4.7 Others 63 2.9 3 0.3 62 6.6 128 3.0 No Answer 153 7.1 139 11.9 186 19.7 478 11.2 Total 2,154 100.0 1,172 100.0 944 100.0 4,270 100.0 Source: MMUTIS, 1996 8% 1% 17% Poor Outside Access Congestion Inside 23% Unpaved Ground Unclean Surrounding Poor Security 26% Poor Waiting Facilities Undisciplined Drivers 10% Others 9% 6% 2-17 METRO MANILA URBAN TRANSPORTATION INTEGRATION STUDY TECHNICAL REPORT NO. 5: TRANSPORTATION TERMINALS The combined totals for all three transport modes showed “poor waiting facilities” as the terminal problem most frequently mentioned by the respondents (19%), followed by “poor outside access” (18%), and “unclean surroundings” (13%). Among the transport modes, bus terminals were considered to have more poor outside access (21%). The LRT terminals were viewed as congested (20%). The jeepney terminals, on the other hand, were assessed to have a problem of unpaved grounds (11%). 2.5 Identified Problems and Issues Transportation terminal problems are summarized in Table 2.4. While the problems remain unchanged since 1983 (JUMSUT), the magnitude of these problems has increased.

  • 1. MAERSK LINE VS COURT of APPEALS FACTS: Maersk Line Is
    1. MAERSK LINE VS COURT OF APPEALS FACTS: Maersk Line is engaged in the transportation of goods by sea, doing business in the Philippines through its general agent Compania General de Tabacos de Filipinas. Private respondent Efren Castillo is the proprietor of Ethegal Laboratories, a firm engaged in the manufacture of pharmaceutical products. On November 12, 1976, private respondent ordered from Eli Lilly. Inc. of Puerto Rico through its agent in the Philippines, Elanco Products, 600,000 empty gelatin capsules for the manufacture of his pharmaceutical products. The capsules were placed in six (6) drums of 100,000 capsules each valued at US $1,668.71. The 600,000 empty gelatin capsules in six drums were already shipped on board MV "Anders Maerskline" for shipment to the Philippines via Oakland, California. Shipper Eli Lilly, Inc. specified the date of arrival to be April 3, 1977. Said cargo of capsules were mishipped and diverted to Richmond, Virginia, USA and then transported back Oakland, Califorilia. The goods finally arrived in the Philippines on June 10, 1977 or after two (2) months from the date specified in the memorandum. As a consequence, private respondent as consignee refused to take delivery of the goods on account of its failure to arrive on time. Private respondent alleging gross negligence and undue delay in the delivery of the goods, filed an action before the trial for rescission of contract with damages against petitioner and Eli Lilly, Inc. as defendants. Denying that it committed breach of contract, petitioner alleged in its that answer that the subject shipment was transported in accordance with the provisions of the covering bill of lading and that its liability under the law on transportation of good attaches only in case of loss, destruction or deterioration of the goods as provided for in Article 1734 of Civil Code.

  • Battling Congestion in Manila: the Edsa Problem
    Transport and Communications Bulletin for Asia and the Pacific No. 82, 2013 BATTLING CONGESTION IN MANILA: THE EDSA PROBLEM Yves Boquet ABSTRACT The urban density of Manila, the capital of the Philippines, is one the highest of the world and the rate of motorization far exceeds the street capacity to handle traffic. The setting of the city between Manila Bay to the West and Laguna de Bay to the South limits the opportunities to spread traffic from the south on many axes of circulation. Built in the 1940’s, the circumferential highway EDSA, named after historian Epifanio de los Santos, seems permanently clogged by traffic, even if the newer C-5 beltway tries to provide some relief. Among the causes of EDSA perennial difficulties, one of the major factors is the concentration of major shopping malls and business districts alongside its course. A second major problem is the high number of bus terminals, particularly in the Cubao area, which provide interregional service from the capital area but add to the volume of traffic. While authorities have banned jeepneys and trisikel from using most of EDSA, this has meant that there is a concentration of these vehicles on side streets, blocking the smooth exit of cars. The current paper explores some of the policy options which may be considered to tackle congestion on EDSA . INTRODUCTION Manila1 is one of the Asian megacities suffering from the many ills of excessive street traffic. In the last three decades, these cities have experienced an extraordinary increase in the number of vehicles plying their streets, while at the same time they have sprawled into adjacent areas forming vast megalopolises, with their skyline pushed upwards with the construction of many high-rises.

  • 4) Shops Around LRT Stairs at All LRT Stations, Food Stall and Copying
    MMUTIS Appendices 4) Shops around LRT stairs At all LRT stations, food stall and copying service are operating under the LRT stairs. They occupy the space not only under the stair but also in the outer area depriving space for passengers and pedestrians. 5) Loading and unloading activities of jeepneys Jeepneys are more convenient for passengers because they stop at any point along the route to pick up or unload passengers. From the viewpoint of efficient traffic operation, disorderly behaviour of jeepney is a main factor that reduces the capacity. The problem is often observed at the exit side of intersection and in front of LRT station. In the former case, vehicles queuing inside the intersection block the flow on the crossing street. In the latter case, jeepney even waits on the busy street until they get enough passengers. They pay little attention to the impact that they give on the traffic flow. 9.9 Proposed Improvement Plan Improvement plans have been prepared for the bottleneck and problematic intersection/area along the route. In addition, rehabilitation of street lighting facility, application of pavement markings and removal of shops around LRT stairs are proposed for the entire route. Measures that can be implemented under the existing condition are selected and proposed here. Further study is necessary for some measures, as there are other projects or plans such as LRT Line 2 or EDSA LRT at these locations, which create additional demand or change in the pattern of vehicular and pedestrian movements. As mentioned above, congestion is created by the fact that there are many pedestrians along the route, particularly near LRT stations, while sidewalk is narrow and often occupied by street vendors.

  • An Ergonomic Study on the UP-Dilimanjeepney Driver’S Workspace and Driving Conditions
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia Manufacturing 3 ( 2015 ) 2597 – 2604 6th International Conference on Applied Human Factors and Ergonomics (AHFE 2015) and the Affiliated Conferences, AHFE 2015 An ergonomic study on the UP-Dilimanjeepney driver’s workspace and driving conditions Ma. Carmella Coz, Paul Jason Flores, Kim Louie Hernandez, Alyssa Jean Portus* College of Engineering, University of the Philippines Diliman, Quezon City 1101, Philippines Abstract The Philippine Jeepney is one of the most popular, the most accessible and cheapest medium of public transportation in the country. During their driving period, an average of 10 hours a day, the Filipino jeepney drivers are exposed to sustained awkward postures. This research aims to evaluate the drivers’ workspace and driving conditions in relation to their anthropometric measurements and their workspace dimensions in order to determine the sources of awkward postures.A comprehensive survey among jeepney drivers inside the UP Diliman campus was conducted to identify the discomforts experienced by the drivers. In addition, a workspace evaluation in comparison with the drivers’ anthropometric measurement was also administered to seek out discrepancies that accounts for the discomforts felt. Results reveal that jeepney drivers’ working conditions pose danger to their health and safety. For instance, there is an insufficient distance between the steering wheel and driver’s seat causing restraint to the drivers’ mobility. The limited height of the windshield also blocks the driver’s line of sight keeping the drivers leaning forward when looking for traffic signs. Recommendations were made to improve the working conditions of the Filipino jeepney drivers. © 2015 PublishedThe Authors.
