 Introduction

1.1 Background of the Study

The Philippines is renowned for having an eventful past and culture. Since then, Filipinos have
embraced the traditions that have been passed down to generations and have done all that to
preserve them. One of these is the Philippines' extensive transportation history, which has
contributed to the nation's reputation both domestically and overseas. Currently, the Philippines'
modes of transportation are a combination of the ancient and the new. Obviously, Philippine
transportation has improved over the years and is now more technologically advanced and
adaptable to modern infrastructures, allowing commuters and daily travelers to choose a mode
of transportation that best meets their needs for comfort, convenience, or all of the above.

Although the early vehicles were not as advanced as the modern vehicles of today, and the
roads were not as well built, the early Filipinos also observed some laws to govern their mobility.
These laws were as informal and simple as defining which a person was allowed to drive. The
concept of land transportation system in the Philippines began when our ancestors invented the
means of locomotion with the animals in moving people and goods from place to place.

Few motor cars were already evident operating on public highways in Manila and its suburbs as
early as
1910.

Better transportation options were developed and adopted.

1.2 Statement of the Problem

The rapid population growth results in problems associated with urban transportation, as well as
environmental concerns. As Metro Manila is the center of commerce, it is apparent in urban
areas that a reliable or efficient transportation system is needed for people to reach their
respective destination with ease and comfort. In the case of SWIPTS, the roads surrounding it
are affected by the traffic conditions in the Baclaran (EDSA), Parañaque (Airport Road), Cavite
(CAVITEx), and Mall of Asia (Macapagal Avenue) areas. In addition, the ongoing construction of
the NAIA Expressway adds to the severity of the traffic conditions surrounding the terminal’s
vicinity. Determining the appropriate design standards for the ITS, specifically for SWIPTS, is a
challenge. The design standard would not only reduce traffic, but would also relieve the
commuter’s overall transit experience.

2.1 Local Review of Related Literature

Araneta Cubao Bus Port

The Bus Port is located at 160 General Romulo Avenue, Quezon City, Metro Manila Philippines.
Owned by the Araneta Group. The terminal first opened in 2017 and has since been one of the
busiest transport hubs in the Metro. It can serve a maximum of 6,000 passengers per day.

Currently, the bus station is one of two bus terminals in the Araneta City business sector that
serve the Philippine Nautical Highway System, which connects Metro Manila with provinces in
the north and south of the country, including towns in the Visayas and Mindanao.

The Araneta Bus Port has more amenities than your regular bus terminal. Waiting areas are
fully air-conditioned, with security personnel and CCTV cameras to ensure everyone’s safety.
Comfort rooms are often praised for their cleanliness and spaciousness. You can even take a
shower before a long-haul trip—for a small fee of course. For mothers, nursing stations are
present as well. Just like an airport, the bus port has its own concierge, check-in baggage
counter, charging stations, and cafeteria. (Araneta Center Bus Port | Bus Schedules | Online

2.2 Foreign Review of Related Literature

Santiago de Compostela Bus Station

Bus station is defined as an area away from the general flow of road vehicles, which
gives buses and coaches the freedom of movement to settle down and pick up passengers in
safety and comfort. Locations are either near shopping centers or other transport terminals,
thereby affording the best interchange. (Transport terminal & Modal Interchanges, 2009)

It is larger than a bus stop. Bus stop is something which is usually simply a place on the
sidewalk, where buses can stop. But a terminal is something which may have broader issues,
regarding departing & arrival of passengers.

High Speed has transformed the current railway station into an intermodal station,
offering users the ability to combine different modes of public transport quickly and efficiently.
The structure is concentrated in the central area to avoid interference with the bus loading bays,
and the upper floor is inclined to adapt its scale to its surroundings. The bus terminal is
organized on two superimposed floors, with a large terrace and services grouped into low
bodies. The roof plane is perforated by longitudinal skylights, and a biomass boiler is used for
heat production. The structural overhang is extended by metal profiles and an ETFE coating
(Coulleri, 2022)

Port Authority Bus Terminal

Located at 625 8th Ave, New York, NY 10018, United States. It is the busiest bus terminal in the
world in terms of volume of traffic, handling more than 65 million passengers annually and 8,000
buses and 225,000 passengers on average during the week.

For residents of New Jersey, PABT serves as both the endpoint and point of departure for commuter
routes as well as for long-distance intercity bus service. It features commercial and retail space, 223
departure gates, 1,250 parking spots, and more. In 2011, there were more than 2.263 million bus
departures from the station. (Port Authority NY NJ Bus Terminals Connections and Maps, n.d.)

Founded in 1950, PABT. It was constructed to bring together many private terminals scattered
throughout Midtown Manhattan. In 1979, a second wing that reached 42nd Street was constructed.
Since then, the terminal has filled to capacity during peak hours, causing backups and congestion on
nearby streets. PANYNJ has tried unsuccessfully to increase passenger amenities through public-
private partnerships, and in 2011 it postponed building a bus depot annex due to financial limitations.
It commissioned an 18-month study in June 2013 to look at ideas for the terminal's redesign, growth,
or replacement. (Port Authority NY NJ Bus Terminals Connections and Maps, n.d.)

In January 2021, the Port Authority released plans for reconstructing the terminal on the same site,
with expansion of bus layover facilities. The PANYNJ hired British architects Foster + Partners and
Chicago-based design and engineering firm Epstein Global in August 2022 to design the new
terminal.

2. One Ayala Transport Terminal
Location: Ayala Tower One, Ayala Ave, Makati, Metro Manila
Architect/s: Visionary Architecture

Background Information
Makati’s new terminal that looks like an airport. One Ayala
Transport Terminal is the newest transport terminal. One
Ayala, which was nominated for the 2017 World Architecture
Festival and takes its name from its location at No. 1 Ayala
Avenue and EDSA, is a 390,000-square-meter mixed-use
development that serves as the entrance to the financial
center of the Philippines.

An intermodal transport hub integrates the MRT Ayala

Station with other major public transportation modes
entering the city such the UV Express (a type of shared
taxi), city buses, and the future BRT buses. The BRT
terminal is located on the ground floor while a separate
terminal for public utility vehicles is located in the basement.

Architectural, Building, and Floor Plan Study

The intermodal terminal is still in its on-going

construction, which means lack of an actual
visual for its interior and exterior design. The
proposed design has 5 floor levels. First floor is
the bus lane, bays, and platforms. The second
floor is the main concourse atrium. The third floor
is retail shops. The fourth floor is almost the
same as the previous floor but has a clerestory
canopy system. Last floor consists of a Multi-
Purpose Court, Covered Deck, and Trade Hall

Background Information
Architects: Dtr Studio Architects
Location: Baeza, Spain
Architect In Charge: María Olmedo, Miguel Vázque
Project Year: 2012
Project Area: 1800.0 Sqm

According to Andalucia (2011), Estación De Autobuses De Baeza, an infrastructure that

portrays innovative ways of pleasing customers throughout the trip. The internal and external
designs are the factors that guide this bus station to the top. It also caters for online reservation
of tickets which makes them more competitive around any other bus station. Alsa has the best
balance of mobility and routes and is the firm with which Baeza operates most frequently with
online transactions. Adapted buses are available on all of their routes, however accessibility is
only guaranteed following a phone call. If they have confirmed that they will be able to provide
an accessible bus for the desired route, you can proceed with purchasing the ticket. The
application must be submitted at least 48 hours prior to departure, and the more time you have,
the better.
The new Baeza bus terminal features a large, foldable roof that serves as a warm
greeting to passengers.Planned but visually open spaces give themselves an urban feel.

Site Data

Geography

Located in the northeast corner of Metro

Manila, the cities of Caloocan and San Jose del
Monte in Bulacan Province to the north, San
Mateo and Marikina to the east, Pasig,
Mandaluyong, San Juan, and Manila to the south,
and Valenzuela, Caloocan, and Manila to the west
enclose the city of Quezon City. It is bounded to
the northeast by the Novaliches Watershed and to
the east by the Marikina River. Nearby attractions
include the Ninoy Aquino International Airport
(NAIA), the North and South Harbor, and the
burgeoning Fort Bonifacio Global City. Other
nearby areas include Binondo, Ayala, Monumento, Ortigas, and the North and South Harbor.
Based on a 1995 GIS visual plan, its total area of 16,112.58 hectares makes it the largest of the
sixteen (16) cities and one (1) municipality that make up the National Capital Region (NCR).

Slope

The city's average slope is less than 8 percent and rarely exceeds 15 percent, making it easy to
navigate. A tiny, scattered area with a very steep slope is ideal for the construction of parks and
other green spaces. The Department of Agriculture's Bureau of Soils and Water Management
found that the Novaliches Loam series, sometimes known as "adobe," which is typically defined
as hard and compact, predominates in the city. Further in, the soil quality starts to change.
Drainage

The city is drained by the San Juan-San

Francisco River, Marikina River, Tullahan River, and
Meycauayan River. The eastern Marikina River and
middle and southern San Juan River discharge into the
Pasig. However, Novaliches' Tullahan River feeds into
Malabon's Tenejeros River. The northwest creeks feed
the Meycauayan River. The San Juan-San Francisco
River Basin has the biggest area of 80 square
kilometers, ranging from the city's southern borders to
San Bartolome in Novaliches and from Quirino Highway
to Marikina Valley ridge in the east.
The Tullahan River basin drains 28.94 square
kilometers and serves most of Novaliches District,
including Fairview, Lagro, Novaliches Proper, and
Damong Maliit Road in Nagkaisang Nayon. The 2,574-
hectare Novaliches Watershed serves just the La Mesa
Reserve Area in the center, while the northwest-flowing
Meycauayan River receives runoff.

Groundwater Levels

In the +60 meter contour in the north, close to Novaliches reservoir, groundwater flows in
two different directions. The southern one travels southwest toward the Pasig River and the sea,
while the northern one travels southeast toward Marikina Valley. In the areas of the aquifer that
have been negatively affected by excessive groundwater withdrawal since 1955, cones of
depression have formed. The deeper cones of depressions that resulted from increased
groundwater withdrawal in 2004 are indicative of a deteriorating condition.

Climate
Like the other cities in the metropolitan area, Quezon City has a dry season from
December to April and a wet season from May to November. It rained a total of 8,904.5
millimeters in the city between 2016 and 2018, as monitored by the Science Garden Station of
the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Agency (PAGASA). June
2018 saw the most rain with 786.8 millimeters falling, while March 2016, 2017, and February
2018 saw the least rain with zero days of precipitation. July 2018 saw the highest monthly total
of 30 consecutive wet days. The average high temperature for the three-year span was 34.60
degrees Celsius in May, while the average low temperature was 22.30 degrees Celsius in
February.

Land Use Patterns

 Based on GIS plotting, residential land use
accounts for 31.6% of Quezon City's 16,112.58 hectares.
3,898 hectares (24%) are formal residential properties,
400 hectares (2.5%) are low-cost housing sites, and 801
hectares (5%) are informal settlement areas. These
residential uses are scattered across the City, except for
the 2,500-hectare Novaliches Reservoir with water
treatment plants.
The City's remaining unoccupied lands, including
vacant portions of residential, commercial, and industrial
estates, total 2,108 hectares or 13% of the City area,
down 746 hectares from 2009.

Water Supply

Quezon City receives its water supply from the

Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) via
its private distribution concessionaires, Maynilad Water
Services, Inc. (MWSI), which serves the western part of the
city, and Manila Water Company, Inc. (MWCI), which serves
the eastern part of the city.
Records from MWSI and MWCI reveal that as of 2018,
a total of 498,727 households were connected to service.
There are approximately 320,733 water service connections
that are maintained by MWSI (64.31%), whereas 177,994
water service connections are maintained by MWCI (35.69%).
There are 448,763 water service connections total, with
89.98% serving residential customers, 4.20 % serving semi-
business customers, 5.15 % serving commercial customers,
and 0.67% serving industrial customers.

Road Network

In 2018, the city had 2,324.40 kilometers of roads, an increase of 26.81 kilometers from
2016. Comparatively, the ratio of roads to land area is now 17.01 kilometers per 100 hectares,
up from 16.81 kilometers in 2016.
Traffic Volume

Epifanio Delos Santos Avenue (EDSA) has the highest daily traffic flow in the city, with
an estimated 195,486 cars using it in 2018, according to data collected by the Metro Manila
Development Authority - Traffic Operations Center (MMDA-TOC). Commonwealth Avenue
averaged 164,381 vehicles per day, second only to Elliptical Road 166,883. In terms of volume,
Quezon Avenue (161,880 vehicles per day) and C-5/Katipunan Avenue (148,481 vehicles per
day) tied for fourth and fifth, respectively, in the city.
Mode Of Transport

Available modes of transportation in Quezon City are entirely land-based. According to

the 2018 data of the MMDA-Traffic Engineering Center (TEC), private transport dominates the
city with 81.09% of the total volume, while public utility vehicles, i.e., buses, jeepneys, taxis, UV
express and tricycles comprise 15.21%, with industrial or commercial vehicles, i.e., trucks,
trailers at 3.71%. Total volume of PUVs is distributed among PUJ (27.39%), UV express
(17.85%), taxi (40.35%), bus (11.50%) and tricycles (2.92%).

Public buses ply the city’s six (6) major thoroughfares, namely: EDSA, Commonwealth
Avenue, Quirino Highway, General Luis Avenue, Quezon Avenue, and Aurora Boulevard while
PUJs service nearly all of the other main roads as well as some bus routes. Tricycles, on the
other hand, are confined to the inner areas and communities. Data from the Land
Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) indicate that, as of 2018, there are
41,639 units of PUJ, 10,200 units of taxi and 8,606 units of UV Express. Meanwhile, the 2018
records from the city government’s Tricycle Regulatory Unit (TRU) listed 24,713 registered
tricycle units plying the more or less 150 Tricycle Operators and Drivers Association (TODA)
areas in the city.
