Proximity Indexing of Public Transport Terminals in Metro Manila
sustainability Article Proximity Indexing of Public Transport Terminals in Metro Manila Krister Ian Daniel Roquel *, Raymund Paolo Abad and Alexis Fillone Civil Engineering Department, De La Salle University, Manila 1004, Philippines; [email protected] (R.P.A.); alexis.fi[email protected] (A.F.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Despite the extensive transit network in Metro Manila, intermodal connections between public transportation services are still fragmented. In response, authorities proposed various mul- timodal transport terminals around the periphery of the metropolis. However, there is a need to understand how these proposed terminals will impact existing transportation infrastructure and services as well as the current travel demand. This paper proposes a method that quantifies the nearness of any subject to any metric of interest, or in this case, the location of the terminal based on its proximity to existing transit supply and demand at different points in the transport network. It involves a simple methodology that requires only the spatial distribution of relevant transport planning data (e.g., public transport services, public transport passenger activity). It was found that the spatial distribution of the transport terminals in the study area is more closely related to the transit supply. Using the same methodology, several potential locations in Metro Manila (e.g., central terminal, terminal along a major junction) were assessed to see whether these are viable sites for a multimodal terminal. One scenario configuration was found to be better integrated with where trips start and/or end, while another seemed to improve integration of the existing railways. Keywords: intermodal; transit demand; transit supply; Metro Manila Citation: Roquel, K.I.D.; Abad, R.P.; Fillone, A.

LTFRB: More PUV Routes to Be Opened
LTFRB: More PUV routes to be opened Additional transport options to be offered weekly based on passenger demand By: Krixia Subingsubing - Reporter / @KrixiasINQ Philippine Daily Inquirer / 05:18 AM July 30, 2020 BACK ON THE ROAD Plastic dividers help passengers maintain physical distancing in a jeepney plying the Tandang Sora-Quezon City Hall route. An additional 1,943 passenger jeepneys returned to the streets on Wednesday to ply 17 new routes across Metro Manila. (Photo by GRIG C. MONTEGRANDE / Philippine Daily Inquirer) MANILA, Philippines — The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) plans to offer more routes “every week or every other week” for all modes of transport in Metro Manila depending on commuter demand. Zona Tamayo, LTFRB-National Capital Region director, said on Wednesday this was part of the agency’s “partial, calibrated and gradual approach” to reopening public transport. The more open approach to mobility was announced after the House committee on Metro Manila development asked both the LTFRB and the Department of Transportation to hike the number of public utility vehicles (PUVs) in the streets to up to 30 percent, and then by 10 percent every week. “At the moment, only 10 percent of all public transport are allowed to resume operations but the directive from the different agencies and local government units is to increase transport in different areas,” Tamayo said. So far, around 212 routes for all modes of public transport, including buses, UV Express vans and jeepneys, have been opened since the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases eased quarantine restrictions in the metropolis.

PPA revises cargo, revenue forecast to at best flat this year The Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) is overhauling its growth forecast for this year despite registering a banner year in 2016. The state-owned corporation now anticipates growth to be nominal this year from the previous year’s exponential growth due to vital developments over the past three months. PPA General Manager Jay Daniel R. Santiago explained that the tapered expectation is attributable to the continuing volatility of the Philippine currency as well as the expected drop in the operation of the mining industry in the Philippines. “Last year was a great year for the agency as we were able to post significant figures in terms of cargo volume and revenues,” Santiago said. “This year, however, will be different as we anticipate it to be nominal due to several developments particularly in the mining industry, which has been one of JOINT COOPERATION our growth areas during the past couple The Philippine Ports Authority and the City of Kobe forged a mutual agreement to promote of years,” Santiago stressed. stable and sustainable development of ports. turn to page 7 Manila ranks 36th among top 100 Container ports The Port of Manila jumps two notches higher to number 36 in the ranking of the top 100 Container Ports, according to a report released by Lloyd’s List and Containerization International in 2016, covering container ports’ performance for 2015.

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. 4 Policy Formulation 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.
