Transportation History of the Philippines
Transportation history of the Philippines This article describes the various forms of transportation in the Philippines. Despite the physical barriers that can hamper overall transport development in the country, the Philippines has found ways to create and integrate an extensive transportation system that connects the over 7,000 islands that surround the archipelago, and it has shown that through the Filipinos' ingenuity and creativity, they have created several transport forms that are unique to the country. Contents • 1 Land transportation o 1.1 Road System 1.1.1 Main highways 1.1.2 Expressways o 1.2 Mass Transit 1.2.1 Bus Companies 1.2.2 Within Metro Manila 1.2.3 Provincial 1.2.4 Jeepney 1.2.5 Railways 1.2.6 Other Forms of Mass Transit • 2 Water transportation o 2.1 Ports and harbors o 2.2 River ferries o 2.3 Shipping companies • 3 Air transportation o 3.1 International gateways o 3.2 Local airlines • 4 History o 4.1 1940s 4.1.1 Vehicles 4.1.2 Railways 4.1.3 Roads • 5 See also • 6 References • 7 External links Land transportation Road System The Philippines has 199,950 kilometers (124,249 miles) of roads, of which 39,590 kilometers (24,601 miles) are paved. As of 2004, the total length of the non-toll road network was reported to be 202,860 km, with the following breakdown according to type: • National roads - 15% • Provincial roads - 13% • City and municipal roads - 12% • Barangay (barrio) roads - 60% Road classification is based primarily on administrative responsibilities (with the exception of barangays), i.e., which level of government built and funded the roads. -

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.

These Improvement Measures, However, Will Not Fundamentally Improve Future Traffic Congestion. Hence, the MMUTIS Proposes Two New Major Access Roads to Terminal 3
MMUTIS Final Report These improvement measures, however, will not fundamentally improve future traffic congestion. Hence, the MMUTIS proposes two new major access roads to Terminal 3. The first proposal will provide a new interchange from the Skyway to Sales Road. The interchange has to shift slightly from the exact location of the Nichols Interchange, but contained on Sales Road as an elevated structure. This facility will connect Terminal 3 directly with the Skyway, which serves SLE near Magallanes Interchange and Pasay Road or Buendia Avenue over the Magallanes Interchange. The second proposal is an underground tunnel from C-5 South Section to Andrews Avenue to go under the main runway. Although it needs very sensitive construction technologies, it is a technically possible alternative. This facility will directly connect Terminal 3 with C-5, which serves Roxas Boulevard southbound and C-5 northbound. Table 10.18 Airport Access Improvement Projects Project Cost Project Name Length (P million) Tramo Road-Andrews Avenue Left-turning Flyover --- 120 Nichols Interchange Improvements --- 135 Alternative 1) Skyway New Airport Interchange 1.3 km 1,893 Alternative 2) Andrews Ave. Extension (underground link) 1.3 km 6,146 1) 2,148 Total 2) 6,400 Due to the cost, the better alternative would be the Skyway Interchange, while the second proposal can be for future consideration. 10.4 Proposed Public Transport Projects 1) MRT Integration This project intends to improve the integration of Lines 1 and 3 and a possible Line 6 at the Baclaran-Pasay Rotonda area. The current plan, which terminates Line 3 at Taft/EDSA Station at-grade, would create serious traffic problem in the area and restrict the opportunity to serve the reclamation area. -
