Conclusion
Level possibly because most of the drivers did not display a copy of the official
fare matrix in their vehicles, thus it was not accessible for passengers unless
displayed on vehicles. Students were also less likely to question the fare charged
by drivers since majority of the respondents were minors which are more likely to
pay no matter how much fare charge the drivers asked because of seeing them
at Aware Level hence students are fairly conscious about the safety measures
when they commute and the condition of the vehicles they took, and considering
that they were senior high school students, they were more likely to value their
time and thought it would consume them more time taking second looks and
was at Aware Level possibly because most of the students lived outside the city
which might mean they were more likely to be advised by elders of being wary of
Level possibly because the respondents were students and mostly minors so
they were more likely to be prohibited from driving and use public transport, by
that it would tell us that they might only know policies that are noticeable on the
traffic signs, drivers overcharging of fare, etc., compared to the policies that
make less impact than the general policies like failing to dim lights when another
turns, etc., although some might knew or had been in these situations, it was
possible that they were not aware that the practice of these behaviors on the
Recommendations
1. Shift modes and routine. Individuals should drive on their own to be more
transport, the obedience of the transport policies was mostly dependent on the
driver not the passengers, they would care less of what was happening during
the ride, some were; using their phones, taking a call, playing games, talking to
each other, reading, and if it was a long ride, it was also a good idea to sleep.
2. Display a copy of the official Fare Matrix and make it accessible for the
public. The fare matrix was not accessible to passengers unless drivers display
one in their vehicles so if they didn’t, the passengers would just pay any amount
the driver asked especially that the respondents were mostly minors, which mean
they acknowledged the culture wherein elders should be respected and obeyed.
3. Acknowledge the law. If there was a situation where a person violates the
law, make sure that the authorities take action to hold the person accountable of
their behavior. The authority of the city should exercise their power to control the
violators of the law, it should not be invalidated by money nor discourse, if it did
and witnessed by the public, they would either think it was not a violation or it is a
4. Put permanent traffic and road signs. In Calbayog City, street names in
proper areas were the only streets that had a permanent name sign, streets
outside the city should also have a permanent street name sign as well as to
indicate how far the city was from their current location for commuters and
travelers. This would help them know if they were going in the right direction and
estimate how much time they had to get to their destination. In addition, it would
also help ensure their safety and security as passengers from horrifying events to
happen.
5. Both driver and passenger should pay attention on the road. Passengers
could learn from the drivers while they drive, just simply observing the turns they
take and light ajdustments on the vehicle should be a good start to improving
passengers, if passengers would pay attention to the road, they could let the
driver know if they needed to focus more on the road, tell them what turns to
6. Conduct a seminar for drivers and commuters. This way they should be taught
about the road policies and regulations, what requirements to comply, who are
qualified to comply, where to comply, and this should be an opportunity for the
citizens and authorities to interact and be open for suggestions and ideas to
