    An analysis of the metro rail transit-3 pricing strategy
    (2008-04) Bognot, Mercilida B.; Nolsol, Rochelle D.; Diokno, Benjamin
    The Metro Rail Transit Corporation has been in operations for more than a decade, yet the goal of having it fully transferred to the government has not yet been achieved due to the lack of profits that it generates from its low-fare ticketing scheme. The researchers, therefore, aim to find solutions to this problem by analyzing the historical and current pricing strategy of MRT -3. After a series of analysis by making use of Public Sector and Urban Economics tools and concepts, together with regression analysis, the researchers recommend average-cost pricing, one-ticketing system, and government buy-out of the rail system to cover up the loss that the rail system currently experiences.

    The economic cost of the excess supply of jeepneys in Metro Manila
    (2008-04) Ching, Clinton L.; De Ramos, Lea Niigata E.; Tan, Edita
    The urban population of Metro Manila continues to grow every year. With this comes the increase in the demand for public transportation which is filled up by numerous road and rail-based transportations. However, the supply of public utility vehicles, particularly jeepneys, exceeded the demand. Due to this market inefficiency, large amount of costs are experienced by jeepney drivers, passengers and the society. The study estimates these costs and analyzes the problems associated with the transport system of Metro Manila. Numerous methods applied in previous studies were used to determine the various costs such as revenue loss, increase in fixed costs, cost of wasted fuel, man-hour loss and costs of premature death and morbidity. It was determined that the economic cost of the excess supply of jeepney units amounted to over PhP 150 billion, which is roughly 2.25% of the Philippine GDP in 2007.

    A study on the contribution of roll-on/roll-off transport system (RORO) on inter-regional trade and regional industrialization
    (2009-10) Cascolan, Yani May A.; Meru, Demetrio T. Jr.; Tecson, Gwendolyn R.
    An efficient and adequate transportation system is an indispensable attribute of a strong economy. The Philippines, being an archipelago, requires an efficient water transportation in order to unite its islands and to achieve a nationally integrated. economy. The establishment of the Strong Republic Nautical Highway (SRNH) or the Roll-on Roll-off transportation scheme is one of the government's approach in achieving this end. The RoRo is intended to facilitate economic growth all over the country by improving accessibility and the efficient transfer of good and services. In this study, the impact of RoRo on regional trade and industrialization is carefully studied. The results suggest that regional trade is favorably affected by the increase in mobility through RoRo by facilitating efficient flow of raw materials and final goods. The impact of RoRo in industrialization is also favorable. The study confirmed that improved mobility through RoRo could improve the industry sector through the transport of input, i.e. physical capital primarily and labor, and the shipment of the output. Good transportation also widens the market base enabling the industry to have larger demand. This study also observed the trade off between the two sectors which matches the Neoclassical Two-Sector Growth Model. Finally, this study also concluded that good transportation is valuable to all sectors.
