Transportation is crucial for development and eliminating poverty in the Philippines as an archipelagic country, but rural public transportation is a major problem due to the difficulty connecting cities and islands.

This section contains the importance of transportation. Shoup and Homa
(2010) defined “rural” as a terminology that can cover cultural,geographic and economic aspects. In addition, population density is not a sufficient basis for determining whether a place is rural or not. Rural areas suffers from many problems when it comes to accessibility, connections as well as the global changes in the economic market place.Transportation on the other hand, can be defined as “an act, process,or instance of transporting or being transported” and “means of conveyance from one place to another” (Merriam Webster Dictionary). There is no law requiring any entity to provide public transportation,but it is such a vital service, most communities work hard to offer it in some form. The public transportation keeps the wheel of commerce turning by getting hundreds of thousands of people to work, school, services, shopping and health care, particularly those people who cannot drive or do not own a car.The modern day issue of rural public transportation in the Philippines is a major problem,since we are an archipelagic country, it is complicated to bridge one city or nation to another. Transportation is crucial to the development of country, to eliminate poverty and inefficient productivity. The advance management of transportation system,as well as transportation infrastructure, should be more strictly implemented and should be more organized especially in rural areas. Thereby, these concerns aim to inform every student, especially future builders and leaders, that our nation’s progress lies within them, hence, they should be more aware of the status of the economy of the country and the aspects that contribute to its growth, which one of them is transportation.
