The mode choice for this study is generally between car and others where public transport includes jeepneys, tricylce, bus, taxi, FX (HOV), and LRT. Data collection is conducted on July 14, 15, 16 19, and August 9 of 1999 at Miriam College and Ateneo de Manila University. A total of 350 and 170 samples were collected in Miriam College and Ateneo de Manila respectively.
