Keeping Up With The Cardashians: A report on the imbalance between car and Public transportation use during peak hours in Iligan city, Philippines

Abstract During peak hours, traffic in the Philippines may be extremely severe and congested, particularly in big areas such as Metro Manila. This is due to a number of causes, including a large number of automobiles on the road, limited road capacity, and insufficient public transportation networks. It is the same situation in Iligan, despite the city being just a fraction of what Metro Manila is. In this data note, we report a massive imbalance between car and public transport use, especially in peak hours where large volumes of traffic pass through the main arterial road networks, and what this imbalance implies on the current state of the mass transportation system of Iligan city.
