| Abstract | To improve the multimodal transfers through adequate physical infrastructure in Metro Manila, this study conducted a review of indicators used in measuring the quality of transfers for urban multimodal passenger transport systems and develop an index for assessing the quality of transfer between different modes of transit in selected EDSA Busway stations. The EDSA Busway was used as the pilot site due to its current integration issues despite the high demand for its services. The study also aims to determine the relationship of the physical integration index with the passenger mode transfer satisfaction score. There are two types of data to be collected: (1) objective physical measurement data from field survey, and (2) subjective measurement data from questionnaire survey. Through the developed mode transfer quality index, the results revealed that among the selected stations, Buendia station has the highest rating of 3.18 out of 5 for there is sufficient physical infrastructure which led to accessible and convenient transfers improving the transfer walking experience of the commuters. The other EDSA Carousel stations also had presence of physical infrastructure, but it was not sufficient and accessible to persons with limited mobility and physically impaired. What’s similar for all stations is that all of them have high convenience and transfer walking ratings even with the less presence of sufficient physical infrastructure. Additionally, results also show that the station design indicator is consistently the lowest rating in all the stations. The results reflect the absence of adequate infrastructure to facilitate the mobility of persons with disabilities and the elderly. Escalators and elevators were only distributed in other transportation stations but weren’t present in the route in going to the EDSA Busway station. The study revealed that the sub-indicators which affect the passenger mode transfer satisfaction are thermal comfort, presence of covered wai |
