  • 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.

    Metro Manila Transport Project, Phase 1 TA Report 51117-002 Annex 3-1 TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR CONSULTANTS I. INTRODUCTION 1. Manila Traffic. The traffic conditions in Manila are deteriorating resulting in economic loses and social costs to all. The government has developed an overarching plan to improve the transport situation through both large infrastructure projects and system operations improvements. NEDA is preparing the Roadmap for Transport Infrastructure Development for Greater Capital Region with the help of the Government of Japan, which build on the previous five transport plans for the city. Key to the plan is the development of large infrastructure such as the Mega Metro Subway, commuter rail service, expressway connections and additional bridges across the rivers. The proposed loan is directly aligned with the Manila transport plans and will augment the major infrastructure proposals through support for system management and operations improvement, notably along the main transport corridor in the city. The assistance can address many of the challenges facing the city transport system and the flexibility to adapt to the changing circumstances and priorities of the government. 2. The Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA) is the major transport corridor in the National Capital Region (NCR). The corridor serves all main modes of transport and suffers severe congestion. The congestion is getting worse, resulting in economic loss, social and gender exclusion, and deteriorating air quality and road safety. Urgent action is required to improve EDSA and reduce the cost of transportation to allow continued and sustainable development of the city. 3. The economic engine of the Philippines.

  • A Study on the Potential for Rationalizating Road Public Transport Services with Respect to a Rail Transit Line Extension

    A Study on the Potential for Rationalizating Road Public Transport Services with Respect to a Rail Transit Line Extension

    Journal of the Eastern Asia Society for Transportation Studies, Vol.12, 2017 A Study on the Potential for Rationalizating Road Public Transport Services with Respect to a Rail Transit Line Extension Maria Celline BELIZARIO a, Gio Carlo DELA PAZ b, Jose Regin REGIDOR c a, b, c Institute of Civil Engineering, University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City, Philippines a E-mail: [email protected] b E-mail: [email protected] c E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: This study aims to assess the prospects for rationalizing road public transport services along the section of a rail transit line extension, which is currently under construction. Once operational, there will be a more direct competition between it and the current road public transport services along the study area such as jeepneys and UV Express vehicles. Data on the jeepney and UV Express drivers’ perspective about the construction of the Line 2 Extension, the process of route modification, and preferences about route rationalization were collected through interview surveys, and travel times of competing modes are estimated. These are analyzed to determine possible route modifications to optimize transport services with respect to the transit line from the drivers’ perspective. The process of route modification as regulated by the government is also discussed. Recommendations are made for modified routes based on the outcomes of the surveys and analysis. Keywords: Transport, LRT, Rationalizing, Travel Time, Route Modification 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background The LRT Line 2, also known as Manila Light Rail Transit System Line 2, LRT-2, or Megatren, is a 13.8 km heavy rail that passes through four cities in Metro Manila.
