Improving Public Utility Vehicles in the Philippines
1. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
1.1 Public Utility Vehicle in the Philippines
Public transportation in the Philippines is not quite good because it is dirty, unmanageable and poorly road services. Dirty, because some PUVs are very messy, the tickets are all on the floor and in chairs too in buses. Jeepneys sometimes people do not pay whether is cheap to ride and people did not want the air that they breathe because is it polluted and taxis sometime crashes that they should have a proper training first before driving as well as the other PUV driver too and some PUVs just park along the way so that is why there is an always traffic, (Manila 3rd worst city for driving, 2012). Quismundo (2013) explains that Philippine Airlines also said that it is the world’s worst terminal because many people believed that they have incomplete like the terminal should have more seats. There are always delay flights so that people need to wait longer again, and it is said that there are poor signage that they cannot understand and the quality of services and comfortability are not good.
1.2 Problems if Taking Public Utility Vehicles in the Philippines
The effects of taking public transportation in the Philippines are that passengers becoming late, wasted gasoline/crude oil and air pollution. Chanco (2013) indicates that there are lots of effects of traffic in Manila. Passengers know that it traffics on Mondays to Fridays especially on Mondays because there is a rush hour. Gasoline nowadays are pretty expensive and becoming more expensive than before and it will roll back just a little bit and just be wasted because of traffic jams. When they are stuck on traffic especially people who ar...

...vehicles. They might say any bad things on why it needs to improve if the fare will be increase, why it needs improvement if it is still working and why they should make it advance or high-tech if they did not know how to use and many more bad compliments will come. Asuelo (2013) tells that improve the train service first before increase the fare so that people deserve the service.
Lack of supplies for making roads because they don’t have enough money to make. Some government officials should do something to do the real purpose of the money that sent to them so that it will lead to good things; it means improvement will go to. People sometimes or often see under-construction roads that lead to a massive traffic and maybe they didn’t pay the laborer so that’s why they didn’t finish on what they do and the lack of supplies that brought to them to fix it.
The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) is not the best method of transportation in the city of Toronto, because it’s unreliable, inconvenient, and unsanitary. First of all, the TTC is unreliable because of many delays. The TTC buses often come late and there are many subway breakdowns and signal problems. These problems can cause longer wait times and result in the rider being late. Additionally, the TTC is inconvenient because it is difficult for the rider to get to his or her destination without a few transfers. In addition, there are very few direct routes and limited area coverage. For example, there are some areas where passengers have to walk long distances just to get to the bus stop. These problems can result in many transfers and cause
commuters waste 38 hours per year stuck in traffic. In Washington D.C. and Los Angeles, the situation is even more serious with drivers squandering 67 and 61 hours, respectively, staring at the license plate of the stationary vehicle in front of them” (Keeping, n.d.). Henceforth, it is my speculation that a negative response to the issue of car congestion will generate some serious consequences for the foreseeable future. It is my prediction that a refusal to resolve this dilemma, will spawn complete chaos and anarchy upon the globes highways and byways. Therefore, it is vital that some type of action is taken beforehand in order to alleviate this issue before it gets out of hand. By and large, this final phase of this paper drives this assignment to its conclusion. Ergo, the ensuing portion of this case assignment will elaborate on highlights of this
These include encouraging commuters to use public transport, decongesting public transport, decentralizing businesses from the Greater Toronto Area, investing in transport infrastructure, passing relevant transport legislation and dialog with stakeholders in transport industry. These solutions aim at discouraging the use of private vehicles and increasing the effectiveness of public transport to increase the capacity and speeds needed to reduce congestion in Toronto. However, it is important to involve all relevant stakeholders when developing solutions to the transport congestion since as earlier discussed, these people may offer very effective solutions to this problem since they are the major road users. The general public will also be keen to follow changes made to improve the transport sector if it is involved in the change process. This will ensure that Toronto has one of the best transport systems not only in North America but across the
Transport is a political factor as it is controlled and affected by legislation. This will impact on the staff and opponents (travelling to the stadium) as the accessibility of transport will impact on travelling times – both positively (may avoid traffic on a train e.g.) and negatively (trains, buses etc. may be cancelled or delayed). The price of transportation will also affect the mode of transport that these groups of people may use. Similarly, price and accessibility of transport will affect the consumers also. The view that consumers hold on transport, therefore, is likely to impact on the business i.e. effort to travel, money to travel etc. as this will influence how often they will visit, what they will spend during their visit etc. According to (Mintel 2011,) the amount of people using train as a mode of transport is on the rise, mea...
Public transportation is one of those things that we trust will get us from point A to point B with no problems. We occasionally hear stories about planes crashing or trains derailing, but we shrug it off, thinking that it could never happen to us. These thoughts run through Luke’s mind as he arrives at the station. He puts the car in park and removes the keys from the ignition. Luke gets out of the car and heads toward the building, the air feeling as warm as it did the last time he was here. He pauses for a moment; it is days like this that he is reminded of that fateful day last summer.
Choosing to participate and being engaged as a community will allow for the exchange of knowledge and create resilience. As Paulo Freire emphasizes in his book Pedagogy of the Oppressed (2000), each person is included in the vision of creating a new and better society. This is the type of idea that will allow for public participation and community collaboration to collectively come together and show and fight for what is best for the health of the communities that make up this city. A healthy community is a happy community and in terms of transportation this must be
Automobiles play a major role in today's society. Almost every American owns at least one motorized transportation vehicle. Some say they make our lives better by reaching places faster than before. Others say they are a harmful to the environment. Have they made our society better or worse? They may be fast, but do we as humans want our environment to suffer because of time. Face it, cars pollute. And they release destructive chemicals into the air. Air pollution can threaten the health of many subjects in the environment including human beings.
“The poor public transportation prevents many public-university students from taking full advantage of their education. They have long waits before boarding their buses and miss many of their morning classes and, occasionally, exams.”
The objective of this proposal is to improve the customer service experience for internal and external staff by improving the existing internal leadership strategy and realignment of staff within the Toronto Transit Commission. Public transit is an important component of the urban fabric of a city, and is an essential public service for those who use it regularly. In an environment of escalating traffic congestions, increased environmental awareness with the community, and expectations for improved access to service for all citizens of the community, it is important that the Toronto Transit Commission play an increasing role in the social, economic and environmental goals for the City of Toronto. On April 27, 2016, the Chief Executive Officer’s
“The automobile has created a dependence, society couldn't live without automobiles because mass transit systems” (Negative Impact of the Automobile 5). Apart from creating a dependence on the automobile, traffic congestion, air pollution and fatal casualties increased with the increasing number of automobiles on the road.
Should students take advantage of the public transportation more seriously than owning a car? The public transportation can solves to numerous problems; the bus transportation can be a universal antidote for bigger issues such as global warming. By taking the bus can save students’ time and money, rather than students who have a car have deal with traffic and expensive parking fee. Students who own a car might experience sitting in such a long traffic, where during the traffic cars may produce noxious gases relieving particle of air that can contribute the affect to human health. The public transportation is the best solution for an enormous population of students, so students’ needs to get on the transit a try. The transition system in the
The development of every nation hinges on the effectiveness of their transportation systems. Movement of goods, services and people to and from locations is made possible by transportation systems. The importance of effective transportation systems cannot be over-emphasized. Many countries face transportation problems and my country Ghana is no exception. A trip of about 30 minutes usually takes about an hour or more due to traffic jams. This is seriously impacting productivity and has become a topical issue in the country. The situation is the same in Uganda where I currently work. To this end, Transportation Engineers are needed to design roads/ highways that will stand the test of time, plan effective traffic management systems to reduce
We all use vehicles for transportation. People usually go to their desired destination either by driving their own cars or traveling in public transportation. Actually, it might be tough to choose that which one is the best selection for people to travel. Many people choose one of them according to their comfort while traveling and both of them have advantages and disadvantages in different conditions. Public transportation and driving own car both shares differences and similarities in many aspects, such as facility, cost, and comfort as well as traffic jam and accident occurrence.
Most of cities that people live are sequentially growing, daily routine of many people are also adapted for surrounding in the present. A lot of people have to spend most of their time with travelling though long distances to get from one place to another for connecting their businesses or other purposes by transportation. Most people use public transportation such as BTS and MRT to go each places while many people are using their own cars to travel. Thereby, both transportations have the same destination that is taking and moving people. People can choose vehicles from alter reasons depend on how people are responded to their needs by public transportation and private car that are different in convenience of travelling, expenditure of money and security of travel.
Rail transportation is a transportation in which for movement of people and goods which from one location to another destination. Rail had been takes the important role in physical and economic development of town and cities in a country and it was developed over the world. Rail transport can be made a property value in a country increase and it must be needs improvement in transportation network expanding (Goldberg, 1970). Thus, the railway services need to be done with continuous improvement and it is important to the rail passengers of the range and quality of facilities and service on stations and trains (Gleave, S. D., 2000). The future development to a public transportation is a key to affect
