Is tadi en LRT travel time
Tuesday, December 05, 2006
I. Objectives:
1. To know the approximate time/s of travel using LRT
2. To know the estimate time/s of arrival and departure from each station and how long a train stays in each ststion
3. To help commuters who utilize the LRT for travel in estimating and/or appropriating/budgeting time for LRT use during their travels
II. Materials Used:
Human Brain
Seiko Diver's watch
III. Procedures:
1. Go to a nearby LRT station. Buy a single journey ride ticket and ride the train.
2. Enter one train (Note: Be careful so that the flow of commuters will not be a hindrance to your entering of the train, push people around, if necessary.)
3. Once in the train find a seat where you can be comfortable but usually you have to stand and don't forget to hold onto the safety handrails.
4. Using the Seiko Diver's watch, time the journey and each stop at a station including the tme the door opens and closes. Subtract, add and convert seconds to minutes using the human brain.
IV. Results and Discussion:
As a result of the journey, rather the study, it was found out that:
a. it takes an approximate of 15-30mins. to get to g.puyat from monumento
b. approximate range of travel from one station to another is 1min. & 10secs. to 1min. & 30secs. with Carriedo to Central Terminal having the longest time of 1min. & 45secs.
c. estimate time in each staion ranges from 15 to 30 seconds, (this includes the door opening and closing).
V. Conclusion:
It can be concluded that commuters will have to provide at least thirty(30) minutes additional to their travel time when they will use LRT depending on the distance of the station they're coming from and going to.
VI. Recommendations:
It is recommended that a similar study be done traveling from monumento up to baclaran to develop a standard, precise and accurate travel times and not just approximations. It should be noted that the study was inspired by the fact that the researcher was travelling alone and needs to get to gil puyat in the fastest time possible. HE is also not so serious about the study and used a very unreliable not calibrated watch. This study has no scientific value whatsoever and if ever it has it would only be very minimal.
Merry Christmas to all! May we all Gain everything we ever want in the coming year to come!
