VIEW POINT
PROBLEM STATEMENT
What is the desirable jeepney capacity and fleet size of the jeepneys operating in the City of Manila? And, how does route length affect the level of service and profitability of jeepneys?
STATEMENT OF THE OBJECTIVES
This is aim to. Determine the nature and characteristics of jeepneys
Plying through the main and minor road networks of Manila; (2) describe the empirical
Relationships between length of routes, capacity, fleet size, operating hours per day,
Number of round trips per day, travel time per wund trip, waiting time at terminal areas,
Average load factor, average occupancy and revenue; (3) Derive empirical models for
Establishing appropriate route length and fleet size that would allow profitable operations
At the same time provide adequate level of service; and (4) Develop policy guidelines for
Planning and managing jeepney route operations in the City of Manila.
AREA OF CONSIDERATION
Based on the jeepney drivers and passengers’ survey results, most of the height of jeepney drivers and passengers are 1,524 mm – 1,651 mm. The height of the service door of conventional jeepneys is much lower than the height of the drivers and passengers while jumbo jeepney door’s height is higher than the height of the drivers and passengers. This means that the height of entrance and exit of conventional jeepney is not sufficient for the drivers and passengers. The drivers perceived that the floor – ceiling height and ground – floor height is adequate for them while passengers experienced of head bump during entrance/ exit and during the ride of passengers. This indicates that the height of the service doors and floor – ceiling height is not sufficient for the passengers. In addition, passengers experienced difficulty in getting
