    Train Semi Complete Report

    Metro Manila has the third worst traffic congestion in Southeast Asia, with commuters spending an average of 66 minutes in traffic daily. This costs the Philippine economy an estimated 3.6 billion pesos daily in lost productivity as of 2017, projected to rise to 5.4 billion pesos by 2035. To address this, the document proposes developing an intermodal railway/seaport terminal that would allow domestic and international freight to be transported by rail rather than trucks. This would cut travel distances and traffic congestion in half while boosting local economies. The proposed terminal would focus on architectural design and facilities to accommodate rail transit users and logistics companies, with the goal of improving transportation efficiency and reducing environmental impacts.

    Philippine’s Freight Railway/Seaport Terminal: Metrowide solution

    to Traffic Congestion

    Jeremiah Campos

    Metro Manila is the 3rd worst traffic congestion in Southeast Asia. Commuters get stuck in traffic
    averaging 66 minutes daily. According to Boston Consulting Group: Unlocking Cities Study.
    The impact of ridesharing in Southeast Asia and Beyond. As of 2017, Metro Manila losing about
    3.6 Billion pesos daily just because of the traffic alone based on annual report of National
    Economic Development Authority (NEDA) and is projected to 5.4 Billion Pesos in 2035. Our
    country is yearning for the most effective way of treating the traffic. With the help of Malacañang
    Administration, and BBB (Build, Build, Build Infrastructure Program) the loses will cut to at
    least 2 Billion Pesos a day.

    Usually the commuters find the best way to get out of the traffic as fast as possible, with the help
    of carpooling, metered taxi, motorbike riding and mass transport system. There are newer
    technologies emerging with ridesharing applications like Uber, Wunder, MiCab and the most
    prolific of them in the Philippines: Grab. Basically, you must use your smartphone and book a
    ride. According to the case study about ridesharing in Singapore, they can minimize the traffic
    by improving the usage of empty car seats over the number of vehicles. Therefore, reducing
    traffic congestions, fuel consumptions and air pollution in the metro. But the downside is, the
    more popular and convenient it gets, the greater the number of ridesharing options are being
    developed. Therefore, the problem persists.

    So in order to have a dramatic solution to the worsening transportation traffic, the concept is to
    have a working intermodal railway/seaport terminal that can accommodate local and
    international freight for the users in Philippines, this way the users and business owners can have
    option picking the best transportation they need for their goods and other raw materials, usually
    in bulk.

    The target of this proposal should reduce the travelling distance of long haul and truck carriers
    and mini vans on the roads and highways by half and maximizing the use towards rail system.
    It mainly focuses on the architectural design and planning on the demand facilities for users of
    transit transportation, and logistics couriers. The primary focus on the project is to provide the
    needed facilities with a visible and complaint architectural design for the users that
    accommodates the rail transit system. The proposed project will also consider the dying state of
    our environment in metro manila which will lessen the traffic congestion around and its
    neighboring communities. This project will help boost the economic growth factor of every
    industrial zones that has a proposed station.
