During the 1990s, motorcycle taxis emerged as an alternative mode of transportation in the Philippines without appropriate policies to regulate their operation. As a result, growing worries over application, functioning, security, and even legal issues have gained prominence in conversations. To develop policy recommendations, this study was carried out to determine the features of usage and operation of traditional motorcycle taxis in Metro Manila. The data comprises variables, including basic information about the respondents, terminal characteristics, operational characteristics, fare, and route details, along with safety and legal concerns. The research identified at least eight informal taxi terminals. However, the authors focused only on four terminals: Guadalupe, Bicutan, Sucat, and Napindan as these are the locations with the highest number of interviewees. Regulation of the mode is thereby recommended to address safety concerns, among many other things.
