This 2014,
we are going to experience
a wave of innovation.
The Philippines
has more than 7,100 islands,
and each of those islands are connected by means
of land,
sea and air transportation both for travelers and residents.
There are different modes of public
transportation available to go around these many islands.
Land public
transportation has been the primary mode of transportation.
Buses ply regular routes between cities and across
metropolitan centers.
Public buses have the name of their destination posted on
the front.
While these routes are operated according to a schedule,
once they’re filled up, buses often
depart early.
There
are also jeepneys, but a jeepney has smaller
passenger capacity than a
regular-sized bus.
Taxis are also readily available in major cities.
Public
transportation means “passenger transportation that is available
for the
general public”. By definition, this does not include private vehicles,
hired vans that
require a negotiation and a contract on the rates,
and similar other rides.
Tourists
are often surprised to find that travel by hire car is also possible.
Just last
year, new transportation booking modes have made it possible
to hire taxis over
phone apps on smartphones
aside from bookings done on a regular phone and SMS.
This 2014, we
are going to experience a wave of innovation.
Booking bus tickets just got a whole lot easier via www.iwantseats.com.ph.
Pixillusion Technologies Inc. also offers
software,
on a Software as a Service (SaaS) basis,
which gives bus operators
the option of handling their
own ticketing and managing their own inventories.
To date, the company says they have serviced
more than 50,000 seats of a popular coach bus company
plying
Baguio City and Baler Aurora Quezon.
