“Skylab” or also locally known as “habal-habal” is an informal mode of transport common in Mindanao which serves as taxi specially in going to remote areas. This is a motorcycle but with parallel wooden planks attached on both sides of the vehicle in order to accommodate more passengers. Drivers of such have excellent balancing skills whilst traversing rocky, hilly, watery or muddy paths.

Ecodrive.org states that eco-driving means smarter and more fuel-efficient driving.  The website further shared "Golden Rules of Eco-driving" as follows: 1. Anticipate Traffic Flow Read the road as far ahead as possible and anticipate the flow of traffic. Act instead of react – increase your scope of action with an appropriate distance between vehicles to use momentum (an increased

This article was from this link: http://www.interaksyon.com/business/67918/monday-protest-actions-set-vs-planned-mrt-lrt-fare-hike My response: I agree with the planned fare increase for MRT/LRT. Rail lines remained 479 route-km since 2008.

Road Safety Fact (Road Safety Manual, DPWH): Studies have shown that the three contributing factors in motor vehicle crashes are: human factors (which are involved in around 95% of crashes); road environment factors (which are involved in some 28% of crashes); and vehicle factors (which are involved in some 8% of crashes).

I've been a transport engineer for quite some time but I haven't been informed very much about cars or vehicles. What a big gap in knowledge considering that vehicles constitute one third of the road environment (drivers/human, road, and vehicle)! But I'm glad that there are opportunities to learn through friends who have been generous and patient in teaching me. Last July 7, a close friend

Dear avid readers, Happy New Year!!! Last 2011 has been a year of challenges as well as improvements in the transport sector. A year to tear down (U-turns) and to build up (motorcycle lanes). A total of 20 posts were published here related to transport or traffic. Last year marked more knowledge as Engineer Einjel was given a great opportunity to observe the transportation system of Korea,

The past two weeks has been a roller coaster of being here and there.. of seeing the government sector's top and even lower levels of transport management, planning and design. How I wish I could replicate myself to meet the technical needs of our country. There's so much to be done. There are more provincial engineers who need assistance and coaching in terms of road design/engineering. I

TIA stands for Traffic Impact Asssessment. TIA is an evaluation of the potential effects that a particular development’s traffic will have on the transportation network in its impact area. Importance of TIA There is a need to assess proposed developments in terms of their tranport impacts on the area and the environment in general. TIA is essential because of the significance of traffic
