Spaces of transit intermodality in Manila, Philippines

Résumé

Public transportation in the Philippines' capital Manila takes different forms : elevated subway (LRT and MRT systems) and ground transportation (provincial and local buses, jeepneys, trisikel and pedicabs, taxis). This presentation, based on field work in February, April and December 2012, will examine the characteristics of transfer/connecting areas between different modes of transportation (such as LRT to jeepneys, LRT to MRT, ...) in several locations of the Manila metropolitan area, in order to determine some of the problems making transfer difficult, but also the commercial activity generated by heavy pedestrian and passenger traffic in and around the transit connecting areas. This is part of a larger research project on the relation between economic development and the sustainability of transport in the Philippines.
