TRANSPORTATION AND
ITS EFFECT

DECEMBER 2021 REPORTING

 PEOPLE’S PERCEPTION
We conducted an internet survey, and they stated that if we want to lessen the negative effects of
transportation in the Philippines, we may just walk if the destination is close. This results in less noise,
less air pollution, and fewer emissions that contribute to global warming. We may assist to conserve our
green areas by emphasizing their value to communities, as well as to plants and wildlife, or by riding a
bicycle. Changing our poor habits will get us closer to living more environmentally friendly lifestyles.
The
first benefit of biking is that it reduces pollutants in the air. Bicycling, on the other hand, consumes very
little fossil fuel. As a result, riding a bike is a pollution-free way of transportation. However, as we all
know, when it comes to transportation restrictions, the majority of Filipinos are stubborn. Thus, rules
must be followed for maintaining discipline on the roads, and above all for our own safety. The only
solution to avoid these accidents we should follow the rules which are made for traffic control, only by
this we will learn the importance of traffic rules in our life. The rules are there to keep us safe, and
following them is in our own interest
 PEOPLE’S PERCEPTION
Road-based modes such as jeepneys, Regional utility vehicles,
taxis, tricycles, and pedicabs dominate
urban public transportation in the Philippines, with some
providing door-to-door service. Many of the
city's road networks are insufficient and badly maintained. When
opposed to private automobiles,
public transit provides travelers with a handy way to get to their
destination faster and for less money.
However, in Metro Manila, this is not always the case because
many Filipinos have a poor image of
public transit. Jeepneys are the most common means of public
transportation in the Philippines, and
they have also become a symbol of the country's culture.
 GENERAL FINDINGS OF THE
GROUP/ CONCLUSION
Despite reasons such as increased traffic and rising maintenance costs, many Filipinos
continue to prioritize purchasing a car. Purchasing a vehicle is a significant investment.
Thus according to our survey, the majority of those we questioned owned a personal or
own car for their own transportation. Convenience is one of the most essential benefits
of owning a car. you will always have a seat, and you will be able to complete your
journey without having to change platforms. However, because we all know that vehicles
may pollute the air, there are additional drawbacks. Petrol prices usually rise, and very
rarely fall, even when global fuel costs fall. This is also a recurring cost; a car is worthless
without gasoline. Choosing a car with a smaller engine can save money on gas, and
contemporary automobiles are also meant to be more fuel efficient, but as I previously
stated, modern cars are more expensive up front.
 RECOMMENDATION
Transportation-related air pollution is one of the leading causes of poor air quality. Premature mortality,
heart symptoms, asthma aggravation, reduced lung function, increased hospitalization, and other
unfavorable health impacts have all been related to exposure to traffic pollution. In urban areas,
automobiles are a substantial cause of air pollution. Public transportation reduces the need for
singleoccupancy vehicle trips, reduces automobile emissions, increases incidental physical activity, and
provides essential transportation access for people with physical, economic, or other limitations that
prevent them from accessing and using a single-occupancy vehicle. To increase access for all individuals,
policies that stimulate the development of public transportation infrastructure are required. By
providing safe and convenient walking and bicycle facilities, active transportation networks should
connect the locations where people live, learn, work, shop, and play. As more individuals choose active
transportation, the safety of all road users may improve. In certain cases, a solution to one problem may
worsen the occurrence of another. Active transportation, for example, enhances overall health by
providing physical exercise and lowering emissions; nevertheless, our existing transportation system's
reliance on automobile travel causes walkers and bikers to suffer disproportionately from injuries. As a
result, if protective and alternate mode infrastructure and regulations are not constructed concurrently,
increasing active transportation may increase the absolute number of injuries. Furthermore, while
reducing vehicle size and weight and boosting use of new vehicle technology can cut greenhouse gas
and other pollutants, it may also result in more injuries from auto accidents and have other negative
consequences for environmental health
