Public Transport Trends and Environmentally Sustainable Transport Acceptance During the COVID-19 Pandemic in the Philippines

In March 2020 transport and economic activity in the Philippines was halted due to strict lockdown measures to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. As the economy slowly opened, safety measures included halving the occupancy of already capacity-strained public transport services. This resulted in commuters and essential workers seeking alternate modes of transportation, especially bicycles. Concurrently, national and local governments introduced pop-up bicycle lanes to accommodate the increasing demand. An online survey (255 respondents, August 2020) on awareness and perceptions of Filipinos of Environmentally Sustainable Transport (EST) was conducted to better understand possible contributions to a active transport, walking, cycling, and e-vehicles) as a mobility response to COVID-19. Results showed 91% of respondents agree that their local government should consider implementing EST as part of better ransportation.
