The topic of my research is to research minibuses in different cities and how they

navigate throughout the transportation realm. In my hometown, minibuses

traveled faster than cars and trains, only because of their express stop nature,
which can be relatable to New Yorks Select bus service compared to their local
stops. I would relate subways to trains in different cities, but my main focus
would like to be minibuses and the system of transportation in rural cities
especially Manila. My argument I would love to pursue as a thesis would be how
these express vehicles can be better than a car in almost everyway because we
can cut emissions and stop spending a lot. I find sustainability very interesting,
so I believe that doing something that could help a better earth and also a better
city would prove to be amazing. Minibuses provide a very vital way of
transportation that is often overlooked and by sharing my experience with that
and others in this paper would definitely help me develop a better understanding
of systems and the way we all act upon each other.

The current state of my research is not complete; I need to get a lot more done in
time. Im thinking that I can probably get more physical sources rather than
online. The problems I envision, are not getting a clear enough thesis. I will
most likely be able to complete the paper in time, but Im struggling right not to
catch up with everything else.
