Examining Factors of Modal Shift to P2P: The Case of SM Masinag-Greenbelt 5 Route


For a long time, the main transport mode of passengers from Antipolo City to Makati City is either Asian Utility Vehicle or private cars. This leads to proliferation of smalloccupancy vehicles, and thus contributes to traffic congestion along this route. On April 2018, a Point-to-Point Premium Bus Service (P2P) was introduced from SM Masinag (Antipolo City) to Greenbelt 5 (Makati City) to provide a better alternative commuting experience for the passengers and to somehow improve traffic congestion in that area. The study surveyed eighty-seven (87) actual P2P passengers and found out that comfort, convenience, safety, and reliability are the major factors influencing passengers’ decision to choose P2P. Socioeconomic factors such employment and income also play a major role for influencing the passengers to shift to P2P bus.
