ABOUT OUR MISSION

As the electronics engineers of the future generation, we promote smart city initiatives. The contemporary problems faced by the society grow as the population increases, and we highly believe that these challenges could not be efficiently solved in any way but with the use of technology. Among the problems that can be solved using smart city technologies are the issues faced by the transportation sector, and the integration of technology in solving transportation challenges leads to so-called smart transportation.

Public transportation in the Philippines is a complex and diverse system that serves millions of Filipinos daily. The most common modes of public transportation are jeepneys, buses, tricycles, taxis, and motorcycle taxis. According to a survey on the automotive industry in the Philippines in 2022, approximately 42 percent of respondents used public transportation. While most people use public transportation as a mode of transportation, it comes with different problems. Commuters often face various problems when they use public transportation which include the following: the need to carry cash or coins to pay for the fare, which can be inconvenient, unsafe or insufficient; the need to buy or recharge a specific card or ticket for each mode of transportation, which can be costly, time-consuming or confusing; the risk of losing or forgetting the card or ticket, which can result in fines, delays or denial of service; and the lack of transparency and accuracy in the fare calculation and payment process, which can lead to overcharging, undercharging or disputes.
