Abstract
The E-Trike operating system of Robinsons Place Manila functions as a point-to-point transportation system identical to private vehicle service. This results in lesser people being transported while occupying road space, a slower operating system, and lower accommodation for travel demand. The study conducted to establish an exclusive route along Ermita and Malate for the said E-trikes to transport more passengers and have an increase in accommodation towards the travel demand around the areas of Ermita and Malate. The study conducted a Household Interview Survey among the residents of Ermita and Malate, having a total of 399 respondents. The study utilized the obtained data such as socio-economic and demographic data, origin and destination locations, and mode preference, and conducted the four-step model. After conducting the procedures of the four-step model, the study generated trip generation models which determine trip forecasts after 10 years. Furthermore, the study found that there is 53.38% of patronage for E-Trikes as a mode of transportation. Lastly, the study was able to construct an exclusive E-Trike route following the principle of the Shortest Path Method which resulted in a cumulative distance of 10 kilometers with the use of Google Maps and DPWH GIS.
