The advantages of mobility and access of the automobile has led to the growth of car usage in recent years which in turn has contributed greatly to the worsening of the traffic situation in Metro Manila. One solution revolves around getting people to use public transport and leave their cars at home. However, there are concerns, which have to be addressed in order to make this shift a reality. This study explored the relationships between travel patterns and their willingness to adopt an alternate mode. The study explored the economics of carpooling with respect to the nature of participation (whether they would participate as a donor-allow other people to share in the use of their vehicle, or as passengers- ride share with other car owners, for a fee.).The result is that a program of ride-sharing which addresses the costs of the vehicle operation for usage appears viable and worth further investigation. which is 0.2% of the total land area of the Philippines. It has a rapid population increase wherein according to the 1995 census, about 13% of the total Philippine population, or about 9.45 million population is concentrated in the Metropolitan. These statistics have significantly triggered the rapid growth of the Metropolitan's urbanization beyond its formal boundary. Like the other big cities of developing countries, Metro Manila has its own share of urban problems caused by rapid urbanization. The enormous growth of its urban area resulting from an unprecedented scale of economic development and accelerated increase in population has created a big demand for mobility. This in effect imposed a heavy strain on the existing transportation system and consequently, increased the levels of motorization despite the persistence of government planners to manage its growth. The increase in Metro Manila's population and its dominant commercial and industrial activities has enabled the provision of an efficient urban transportation for maximum mobility within and around the metropolis. Consequently, the ensuing urban transportation demand has put pressure on government to implement improvement and upgrading of transportation services and traffic facilities. Closely related in population is the increase in employment and school population in Metro Manila.
