Resource Title Evaluation of a Transportation Network Service as a catalyst to streamline tricycle-for-hire operation and regulation: a case study of Quezon City LGU
Date Issued 12 November 2023
Abstract The worsening traffic situation in urban cities brought about by inefficient public transport systems has called for the government to push for measures that may help address transport-related issues and concerns. As Quezon City develops socially and economically as one of the highly-urbanized cities in the National Capital Region, the provision of more conducive and viable schemes of public transportation systems are critical to enhance public safety and urban functions to maintain better quality of life, create a livable city for ‘QCitizens’ and mitigate adverse environmental impacts while facilitating economic activities.

The tricycle transportation industry has been considered as one of the most viable means of land transport in Quezon City that has endured overtime. However, it has been hounded by relative issues and problems with regards to the efficiency of the transport operation, harmful gas emissions, public safety and lethargic regulations. Recommendations were offered on how the adoption and integration of a Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) or digitally-enabled Transport Network Service (TNS) mechanism can transform and further develop the tricycle transportation industry concerning the tricycle operation and regulation in furthering the safety, convenience and socioeconomic conditions of the tricycle stakeholders. Accordingly, the constant coordination of the QC LGU with the national government, transport research institutions and TODA organizations are crucial in facilitating meritorious transport modernization programs that may efficiently and effectively upgrade or streamline the operation and management of tricycles in Quezon City that is more attuned to the changing times where transactions are digitally transformed and accelerated.
