We went to one of their terminal in Cavite and collected data’s for our study. They’re site is not that congested or even isolated to the road for traffic, they are near to a gasoline station, vulcanizing shop and even a hotel. Inside the terminal, the architectural features are typical, having waiting area, dispatching office, toilet, some concessionaire, staff’s room for maintenance and covered parking for the buses. There are three main activities being held in the terminal; Maintenance, Cleaning and Dispatching. The newly arrived buses went to the maintenance or cleaning and then waiting to be dispatched. The terminal is being congested only during peak season, in summer, passengers are being filled on the Cavite – Baguio journey, but on normal days, few are having their way to the terminal.
