The program aims to improve the urban quality of life, reduce economic losses due to time lost in travel, reduce health costs and premature deaths, reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and improve the economic situation of the operators and industry by improving service quality levels. Jeepneys, the Historic Public Transport The existing public transport system in the Philippines relies primarily on jeepneys, cultural icons of ingenuity initially repurposed from the army Jeeps left after World War II. Jeepneys are backyard-fabricated vehicles with chassis often as old as 50 to 70 years old and engines more than 15 years old, capable of accommodating 12-32 passengers. They are to Filipinos what double-deckers are to Londoners: a dominant cultural icon and a national symbol of pride. The Context With a rapidly growing economy, the Philippines has been seeing the sales of hundreds of thousands of cars sold annually – one of the fastest in the ASEAN – without any significant investment in infrastructure for sustainable modes of urban transport or even road space. Between the year 2007 to 2012, car ownership grew by 16% and motorcycle ownership increased by 69%. The 2014 ASEAN Automotive Federation sales report noted the Philippines as the fastest growing automobile and motorcycle market in the region ahead of Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. This trend towards car-dominated cities, combined with an outdated and low-quality public transport system, poses a severe risk to the country’s overall social and economic development. As of 2017, congestion in the capital region of Metro Manila alone has been estimated to cost the country USD 67 million per day due to lost opportunities, additional fuel consumption, and health costs[1]. This is an increase of 46% from the congestion cost estimated in 2014. Annually, this adds up to about USD 24 billion – or over 10% of the Philippine GDP[2]. Accounting for approx. 30% of energy-related GHG emissions, transport is also noted as the largest source of air pollution in the Philippines. In 2015, road transport GHG emissions were estimated at 28.4 MtCO2e, of which the Jeepney sector alone accounts for 15.5%. Emissions from road transport under a business as usual scenario are projected to increase to 87 MtCO2e by 2030, resulting in a rapid enlargement of the carbon footprint and air pollution in urban areas. Congestion has gotten so bad in Metro Manila that there were talks in Congress of granting ‘emergency powers’ to the Executive Department, to enable them to more quickly address the ‘crisis in the transport sector’. Legislation has yet to be passed to formalize this, but many parallel efforts are being pursued to enable better mobility, including the introduction of new rail lines and the promotion of non-motorized transport modes. The Public Transportation System Public transport could be a significant part of a more climate-friendly transport system but it is lacking all preconditions to reach its potential. The highly fragmented public transport system is dependent on outdated, often small-scale road-based vehicles and is dominated by jeepneys (approx. 200,000 in the Philippines, wherein approx. 55.000 in Metro Manila alone). Even with increasing car ownership, the jeepney sector still maintains its high ridership levels. Jeepneys count for approx. 40% of all motorized person trips in the Philippines, or about 40 million person-trips per day, which make them one of the biggest contributors of GHG emissions in the transport sector. The high modal share of jeepneys is due to its relative affordability (the base fare for a jeepneys ride is USD 0.15), and as well to the lack of any better alternatives. Other public transport vehicles include buses (approx. 5000 in Metro Manila, 20.000 in the Philippines), taxis, Asian Utility Vehicles (express point-to-point service), and motorized or pedal-powered tricycles.(from changing transport.org) #jeepneyride #bacolodcity
