ARNOLD B. COLINANG. APRIL 2005. Earning Variability of Jeepney
Operators and Drivers Plying La Trinidad to Baguio City, Benguet State University, La
Trinidad, Benguet.
Adviser: Leopoldo N. Tagarino, BS
ABSTRACT
This study was conducted to determine the variability in the earnings of the
operators and drivers plying the routes of Baguio City to La Trinidad as well as the
income and expenses, sharing arrangements used by the operator and drivers.
The findings showed that the operators and drivers at the same time had a higher
earnings compared to the plain drivers. Also between Magsaysay and Bokawkan groups
showed that those bound on Bokawkan road earns higher income. It also showed that
Buyagan route has the highest earnings and Balili and Trinidad route shared the lowest.
Weekdays are the days when high income is earned while in weekends, it declines.
The finding further showed that almost all of the drivers prefer boundary income
sharing agreement with their operator. In terms of repair and maintenance, all of them
answered that it is the operator who takes care of it, as most of them render only labor as
contribution for repair and maintenance.
The common problems of the drivers were delinquent passengers, reckless
drivers, heavy traffic, and high price of diesel.

INTRODUCTION
Rationale of the Study
We cannot deny the fact that our number one means of land transport are the PUV’s
particularly the jeepneys. Passenger jeepney is a product of an innovative mind of the
Filipinos modeled from the American jeep leftovers used in World War II. From then on it is
used as a primary public transport from rural to urban or sub-urban areas in the Philippines.
Jeepney operation can be classified in two (2) operation activities; one(1), the
operator/driver operation where the operator as an owner is the driver of his own unit, and
two(2) is the operator and driver relationship where the operator as an employer to the driver
with an agreement of the so called “boundary.”
Jeepney operation under legal basis is organized through the location they are
operating. With organization they have, they follow a certain route of operation. This routes
travel most from five (5) to seven (7) kilometers.
In La Trinidad, almost all of the barangays have a jeepney organization operating in
it. They have different routes but the same destination, Baguio City, located three (3)
kilometers in the north. Baguio City has two end points for land transportations coming from
La Trinidad, Magsaysay and Bokawkan road. This study was conducted to know the income
and expenditure of the operators and drivers operating in La Trinidad to Baguio City.

Statement of the Problem
1. What is the prevailing practice employed by operators in terms of income and
expense sharing with their drivers?
2. What is the earning variability of jeepney operators and drivers plying La Trinidad to
Baguio City?
3. What is the income and expense of jeepney operators and drivers plying La Trinidad
to Baguio City?
Objectives of the Study
This study was conducted with the following objectives:
1. To identify the prevailing practice employed by operators in terms of income sharing
between operators and drivers.
2. To determine the earning variability of jeepney operators and drivers plying La
Trinidad to Baguio City.
3. To determine the income and expense of jeepney operators and drivers plying La
Trinidad to Baguio City.
Importance of the Study
The importance of this study is to know the earnings of jeepney operators plying in
different routes of La Trinidad to Baguio City. This would also determine whether their
income is worth the daily expense they also expend from daily operation. It would also show
what route is most prominent for operation.

Scope and Delimitation of the Study
The research was concentrated on the passenger jeepneys plying La Trinidad to
Baguio City where it included Magsaysay Group and Bokawkan Group. Further, it only
included the following routes: Baguio – Tomay, Baguio – Trinidad, Baguio – Buyagan, and
Baguio – Balili.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
The jeepney, a longer version of the World War II army jeep, is the most common
and cheapest way to travel. Traffic in the cities is a mess because there are now too many
jeepneys going back and forth to Baguio City from the different barangays of La Trinidad.
The drivers leave in and out of traffic as they carry twenty to thirty people on their uniquely
decorated jeepneys. If one of the passengers wishes to get off, the only way the driver will
stop is if the passenger says “para”, knocks on the top of the jeepney or hisses. (Picture page
in the Philippines)
Jeepney operation consists of two distinct transport activities, that of the operator and
that of the jeepney driver. The participation of the operator is assumed to be a part of the
organized sector while the jeepney driver belongs to the informal sector. The operators gross
is the rental of the transport unit, which is referred to as the “boundary.” The corresponding
intermediate costs included maintenance of the unit and insurance cost. On the driver side,
gross output is equal to the gross income he earns net of the “boundary” he pays to the
operator. The major part of his intermediate consumption is fuel consumption. (Romulo A.
Virola and Sylvia M. Perio, NSCB Philippines, 1999)
Since the 1940’s, the prominent form of Filipino locomotion has been the jeepney.
Originally, jeepneys were American military surplus jeeps that were retrofitted to handle up
to 20 passengers. Their decoration has developed into high art and jeepneys have occupied a
place in the national psyche that is difficult to adequately describe. Every tourist is
recommended a few jeepney rides, just so he’ll experience some of the nuances familiar to
average Filipino – such sayings printed on the jeepney that appear on the surface to be

inspired by religious reverence, but involve double meanings. Jeepney travel is also good
way to learn basic tagalog, like “bayad” (payment) or “para pare” (stop here, friend) and the
seemingly inexplicable “bababa ba?” (is anyone stopping here?). What better way to gauge
the value of a peso than with a jeepney ride? Drawbacks for this mode among tourists are
mostly connected to comfort, but seldom can one finds a more convenient mode of transit. In
most places, jeepneys run often and get you where you need to go. There are some areas like
Metro Manila where jeepney travel is either curtailed or not good idea, but if you have the
pleasure of spending time in the province, you will surely rely on them daily. (Bayani
Magazine, April 1999)
On land, the most common form or transportation is the jeepney – the King of the
Road! This hardworking vehicle has been the backbone of public transport for many decades.
Many forms and means of passenger vehicle came by but nothing has endured the challenges
of the times like the jeepney.

METHODOLOGY
Locale and Time of the Study
The research was conducted in Baguio City and La Trinidad, Benguet, in January
2005.
Respondents of the Study
The respondents of the study were jeepney operator/driver and drivers taken on
random basis. There were 16 respondents, 8 operator/drivers and 8 drivers on each of the
routes of Baguio – Tomay, Baguio – Trinidad, and Baguio Buyagan on both Magsaysay and
Bokawkan road trips. This summed up to 96. There were also 6 respondents, 3
operator/drivers and 3 drivers for Baguio – Balili route through Magsaysay road. All in all,
the total of respondents for the study is 102 operator/drivers and drivers.
Data Collection
The research instrument used was constructed interview schedule. The interview
schedule was used to gather related information. The data for the research were collected
from December 2004 to January 2005.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
General Information of the Respondents
This section presents the general characteristics of the respondents as to age,
educational attainment, general status, and number of household members. The respondents
were divided into operator – drivers and drivers. They were further grouped through their
routes plying in. Magsaysay group, for those plying Baguio – La Trinidad, via Magsaysay;
and Bokawkan group for those plying Baguio – La Trinidad via Bokawkan. Both Magsaysay
and Bokawkan group were sub-grouped into Baguio – Tomay, Baguio Trinidad, Baguio –
Buyagan. Baguio – Balili plies only in Magsaysay.
Operator
–
Drivers. Table 1a presents the general information about the operator
drivers plying in both Magsaysay and Bokawkan. It was found that when it comes to age, the
Baguio – Buyagan of the Magsaysay group had the lowest average while this sub-group had
the highest average age among the Bokawkan group. Generally, the operator – drivers plying
Baguio and different barangays of La Trinidad had a range of 32 years old to 42 years old. It
was also found that the operator – drivers generally reached high school level and majority
were married. The average household members in all the sub-groups were 6, except for
Baguio – Tomay and Baguio – Buyagan of the Bokawkan group that have an average
number of household members of 5.
Drivers. Table 1b shows the general information about the drivers plying in different
routes of Baguio City to La Trinidad. The result shows that the average age of drivers plying
the different routes of Baguio – La Trinidad ranges from 24 to 31 years old. When compared
to the operator – drivers, the drivers were a bit younger than the operator – drivers. This
finding implies that the jeepney drivers plying Baguio – La Trinidad were generally young.

They reached high school level and were generally married except for the drivers plying
Baguio – Buyagan and Baguio – Tomay that majority were single. They had an average
number of household ranging from 4 to 5 members. When compared to the operator –
drivers, the drivers had fewer number of household members. This was probably because
they were generally younger. Another reason probably was that almost all the operator –
drivers were married while for the drivers, some of them are still single. It was also found
that they had a lesser number of years in driving compared to the operator – drivers. This
could also be explained by the younger ages.

Jeepney Operation
The jeepney operation included the time of operation, the number of trips per day, the
seat capacity of the jeep, and the peak time of many passengers.
Operator – drivers. Table 2a. Among the Magsaysay group, the Buyagan route has the
highest average number of trips per day (11), while the Balili route has the lowest number of
trips per day (8). Both the Tomay and Trinidad routes had an average number of trips per day
of 10. This same finding is also true for the Bokawkan group.
As to the time of operation, almost all of them started from 6 o’clock AM to 6 o’clock
PM except for a few that started 5 AM to 6 PM and 7 AM to 7 PM. This study is true for
both the Magsaysay group and the Bokawkan group. According to the respondents, the time
of many passengers was usually between 6 to 8 AM. and between 4 to 7 PM.
The average seating capacity of jeepneys plying Baguio City – La Trinidad is 21
including the driver. This information is presented in Table 2a.
Drivers. Table 2b. presents that among the Magsaysay group, the Trinidad route has
the highest average number of trips per day (11) while the Balili route had the lowest number
of trips per day (8). Both the Tomay and Buyagan routes has an average number of trips of
10. The entire Bokawkan groups have 11 average numbers of trips per day. Almost all the
drivers started their operation at 6 o’clock in the morning and stopped at mostly 6 o’clock in
the evening. There were very few cases that started at 5 AM or 7 PM and stopped at 5 AM or
7 PM. respectively. As to the seat capacity and the time of many passengers, it was the same
as that of the operator – driver.

Income Sharing Agreement
The income sharing agreement refers to how the driver and the operator of the
jeepney divide the income from the operation. There were two kinds of sharing agreement
used by the drivers and operators plying Baguio City – La Trinidad route, the boundary
system and the percentage system. The findings as presented in Table 3 show that among the
Magsaysay group, majority of the respondents were using the boundary system. Only 25 %
of the Tomay route and 37.5 % of the Buyagan is using the percentage sharing system. Only
37.5 % from Buyagan route is using percentage system in Bokawkan group where the rest is
on boundary system sharing agreement. Ranges of the amount for boundary show that
Buyagan routes have the highest and the Balili route has the lowest.

Income and Expense Variability
The income and expense variability show the differences in the amount of peso
income and pesos expenses received and incurred by the operator – driver and the drivers
plying the different routes using the Magsaysay road and the Bokawkan road. This study
further shows the daily average gross income, diesel expense, “barkers” expense and average
daily net income they obtain everyday in a week. Number coding schedule of the respondents
has been included, such, reflecting a slight change in the averages per route as shown in the
tables.
Average Daily Gross Income Variability of different routes
Operator
–
Driver. Table 4a. The table shows the average daily gross income of
operator – drivers. It shows that the Buyagan route has the highest average daily gross on
both Magsaysay and Bokawkan group. The lowest is Balili route from Magsaysay group.
Observing the table further shows that the lowest peak is on weekends (Saturday and
Sunday) and on weekdays is where they have their highest peak, true to all routes. From the
earlier finding, Balili had the lowest number of trips per day. This may partially explain why
the Balili route had the lowest average daily gross income. What is interesting was that
earlier finding shows that the Buyagan route is only second to Trinidad route in terms of
number of trips per day but it was found that Buyagan route had the highest average daily
gross income. It is suspected that there may be more passengers per trip riding the Buyagan
jeepneys compared to the jeepneys in the other routes thus giving Buyagan a better position.
Comparing the Magsaysay group and the Bokawkan group, it is apparent that the Bokawkan
group had the higher average daily gross income.

Drivers.
Table 4b presents the average daily gross income among drivers of the
Magsaysay group and Bokawkan group. The result shows that the same with the operator –
drivers, the drivers of the Buyagan routes both Magsaysay and Bokawkan groups have the
highest average daily gross income. The same result to the lowest average daily gross income
on operator – drivers of Balili route. Balili drivers had the lowest. Furthermore, it was
observed that the Bokawkan group had higher average daily gross income. True to the results
of the operator – drivers, drivers also experience the least gross income on weekends as they
enjoy higher gross on weekdays.

Average Daily Diesel Expense Variability of different routes
Operator
–
Drivers. Table 5a shows that as much as they have the highest of average
daily gross income, Baguio – Buyagan route also incurred the highest average expenses on
diesel consumption. The same is true as to Balili route as they also have the lowest average
on gross income, they also have the lowest average on diesel expense. In contrary, Baguio –
Tomay comes second after Buyagan then Trinidad route. For the two groups (Magsaysay and
Bokawkan), Bokawkan group has the higher diesel expense. This could explained by the
farther distance traversed and the kind of road Bokawkan has. On daily basis, Saturday and
Sunday has the lowest average on diesel expense as it is also higher on weekdays.
Drivers. Table 5b presents the average diesel expense variability among drivers of the
Magsaysay group and Bokawkan group. The result shows that the drivers of the Tomay
routes are the highest in Magsaysay group while Buyagan route in Bokawkan had the highest
average diesel expense on the group. In contrast to the two groups, Bokawkan groups had
the highest average on diesel expense than routes plying in Magsaysay. The same with the
operator – drivers, drivers from both groups also experience low diesel expense on weekends
(Saturday and Sunday) while it is higher on weekdays.

Average Daily “Barkers” Expense Variability of different routes
Operator
–
Driver.
Table 6a shows the “barkers” expenses for operator – drivers. It
shows that Tomay route among Magsaysay group is paying the highest “barkers” fee when
summed up for the average. This is followed by Trinidad then Buyagan routes respectively.
It is also shown in the table that Buyagan route has the highest among Bokawkan group
followed by Tomay route then Trinidad. Looking closely at the two groups, it is clear that
Magsaysay group pays much “barkers” fee than those at Bokawkan. Balili route in
Magsaysay group was not paying any “barkers” fee as reflected by zero response.
Drivers. Table 6b shows the drivers “barkers” expense for drivers. Among
Magsaysay group, opposite operator – driver, Trinidad route is the highest when it comes to
paying the expense. Tomay route is the lowest among the three as Buyagan route is second to
Trinidad. Bokawkan group showed almost the same figures as it is separating them with a
low average percentage. Overall, the table shows Tomay route of Magsaysay group is paying
the least expense while Trinidad, also from the same group has the highest “barkers”
expense. Drivers of Balili route of Magsaysay group are not paying “barkers” expense.

Average Daily Net Income Variability of different routes
Average daily net income refers to the earnings of the respondents from their driving
operation after deducting the cost of diesel and “barkers” fee for the operator driver. To the
drivers, this is the net take – home pay at the end of the day after they submit the agreed
share for their operator. The data is computed from the previous tables which reflect the
average net income per route.
Operator
–
Drivers.
Table 7a shows that among the operator – drivers, the Buyagan
route plying Bokawkan road gave the highest earning which is also followed by Buyagan
route plying Magsaysay road. This implies that among the entire operator – drivers, those of
the Buyagan route of plying roads earned higher income compared to the operator – drivers
from the other routes. This is followed by Tomay route from Bokawkan group then the same
route but from the Magsaysay group. Coincidentally, Baguio – Balili route which from the
previous results shows that they have lesser trips per day, lesser gross income from others
but lesser in diesel and no “barkers” expense has higher average in net income than Trinidad
route which possess the opposite results. With these, Trinidad route either from Magsaysay
or Bokawkan group has least average in net income among the entire operator – driver
respondents. The table further shows that on daily basis, income is higher at weekdays and it
declines on weekends. Though it is not included in the study, factors that could be considered
reflecting the peak and decline of the income is that weekdays are school and working days,
thus, passenger customers are abundant.
Drivers. Table 7b shows the average net income for drivers. With the deduction for
the sharing of income from their operator, drivers have a lesser earnings than the operator –
drivers. Almost the same result to the operator drivers, Buyagan of either Magsaysay or
Earning Variability of Jeepney Operators and Drivers

Bokawkan group has the highest earnings among the entire driver respondents. Tomay also
from either of the Magsaysay or Bokawkan group is second, although there are days that
Balili route is sometimes higher, these results are greatly affected by the number coding
schedule of the respondents. Baguio Trinidad route either from Magsaysay or Bokawkan has
the least earnings. The same observation from the results of the operator – driver response,
weekends is the lowest peak and weekdays are the days for higher net income.
For the drivers, these earnings represent returns to labor but to the operator – drivers
these earnings do not represent returns to labor because the cost of maintenance is still
deducted.

Repair and Maintenance
Repair and Maintenance schedule. Table 8a. presents the interval time or period that
the respondents repair or change each part of the jeepney. The respondents are operator –
drivers only. Majority if they change their tires yearly, as some of them change as some at 10
to 11 months least is as 8 to 9 months. Change oil schedule is mostly at 2 months and few of
them are 3 months. Maintenance for brake fluid is every 1 month for almost of the
respondents. Yearly repair such as Clutch discs has a range from 1 to 1 and a half years.
Transmission, differential, engine overhaul and wiring could go as far as 7 to 9 years. This
repair and maintenance schedule usually goes at the same time according to the respondents.
Starter repair is mostly done every year the same goes for alternator repair and upholstery.
Battery is changed in the span of 1 and a half years to 2 years.
Repair and Maintenance cost. Table 8b shows the costs of repair and maintenance for
the jeepneys. It could be observed that those of more than 1 year based from the schedules
were more costly than others. Generally, average amount for changing tires is P10, 000.
Respondent’s average costs for change oil are up to P1, 3000. Brake fluid maintenance
ranges from P75 to P125. Clutch discs replacements could costs from P3, 500 to P4, 000.
Repairs and maintenance which occur from 7 or more years are more costly as transmission
and differential can go from P23, 000 and engine overhaul can go as high as P 60, 000.
Wiring, alternator, starter repair and upholstery could go from P4, 000 to P5, 000. Changing

Problems Encountered
The common problems met by majority of the respondents in all the different routes
as presented in Table 9 were heavy traffic which they mentioned that they were spending
more for diesel because of the traffic. Besides, this reduces the number of trips they could
have per day. Furthermore, some passengers do not want to ride when there is heavy traffic.
They rather walk and this reduces the income of the drivers.
Another common problem mentioned by majority of the respondents was the high
price of diesel. This reduces the net income of the drivers. Another one was the delinquent
passengers. According to the respondents, there were passengers who do not pay their fare.
Some mentioned that one of their problems was on other drivers who were reckless on the
road which could result to accident. This could insinuate danger not only to the drivers but
also most especially to the passenger customers. Few encountered lazy passengers that even
if the jeepney stops at a short distance away from the point where they were suppose to go
down, they do not go but have to stop at the exact location where they are to go down. Three
drivers from Buyagan route mentioned that they met a problem because of drunken
passengers. There are some passengers who do not like to ride when a drunken person is
inside the jeepney so that is a reduction in their earning for the day.

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Summary
This study was conducted to find out the average earning variability among operator–
drivers and drivers of jeepneys of some routes plying La Trinidad municipality to Baguio
City. There were two types of respondents, the operator – drivers and the drivers. The
respondents were separated on by being an operator – driver and by being a driver. They
were grouped according to their route of operation. Each divided by having a Magsaysay and
Bokawkan group.
The finding showed that the average ages of operator – drivers from the different
routes range from 32 to 42 years old. On the other, the drivers were of younger age. The
average age of the drivers plying the different routes ranges from 20 to 30 years old. On the
average, both the operator – drivers and the drivers reached secondary level of educational
attainment. Majority were married except for drivers of Buyagan and Tomay routes where
they were generally single. The average number of households was generally higher for
operator – drivers.
It was also found out that the average number of trips done per day by the operator –
drivers and drivers of different routes is between 8 to 11 trips. Both also usually start their
trip from 6 o’clock in the morning to 6 o’clock in the evening. Majority of the drivers
mentioned that they share the income from driving with their operator using boundary
system. Buyagan routes had the highest boundary average while Balili route had the lowest.
With regard to income variability among operator – drivers, the result shows that
Buyagan route from Bokawkan group is the highest where it is followed by the same route

from Magsaysay group. Baguio – Tomay is second among the routes from either Magsaysay
or Bokawkan group. Baguio – Balili from the Magsaysay group is third and is followed by
Trinidad route.
Repairs and maintenance schedule show that changing tires usually occur in not less
than 8 months and not more than 12 months. Change oil is from 2 to 3 months as brake fluid
is in 1 to 2 months. Differential, transmission, engine overhaul, engine overhaul, and wiring
are long term schedules. Clutch discs, starter, alternator, upholstery and battery have a time
span of 1 year to 2 years. Costs of these repairs and maintenance show that those of short
time schedule are lesser than the costs of those occurring in years.
The common problems encountered by the operator – drivers including the drivers
were heavy traffic, delinquent passengers, high price of diesel, reckless drivers, and lazy as
well as drunk passengers.
Conclusions
1. The prevailing practice being adopted by jeepney operators and drivers in sharing
the income from jeepney operation is “boundary” system.
2. All the routes pay a “barkers” fee except those of Balili routes. A certain amount
is being paid to dispatchers and this is a deduction from their income. This is an
unnecessary expense but it also creates jobs for other people who cannot find a
job.
3. There was a variation in the earnings realized by the operator – drivers and even
the drivers plying the different route with Buyagan route having the highest the
Trinidad route having the lowest.

4. Heavy traffic and high price of diesel were among the common problems
encountered by majority of the drivers.
Recommendation
1. Since majority of them mentioned traffic where mostly caused by road renovation
or widening and the overcrowding of vehicles on the streets, a fixed number of
jeepney on every route should be scheduled to reduce or minimize traffic
problems.
2. To prevent delinquent passengers from not paying their fare operator - drivers and
drivers could employ an assistant who could collect the fares before passengers
could board on the jeep.
3. Proper discipline should be observed among drivers. Since they are members of
different groups through different routes, officers of these organizations should
orient other members about road disciplines. Act upon and give disciplinary
actions to violators being complained on.
4. One way to reduce the high cost of diesel for passenger jeepneys is conservation.
Proper handling and operation of jeepneys while on the road should be observed.
Another one is turn – off the engine if it is necessary.

ARNOLD B. COLINANG. APRIL 2005. Earning Variability of Jeepney
Operators and Drivers Plying La Trinidad to Baguio City, Benguet State University, La
Trinidad, Benguet.
Adviser: Leopoldo N. Tagarino, BS
ABSTRACT
This study was conducted to determine the variability in the earnings of the
operators and drivers plying the routes of Baguio City to La Trinidad as well as the
income and expenses, sharing arrangements used by the operator and drivers.
The findings showed that the operators and drivers at the same time had a higher
earnings compared to the plain drivers. Also between Magsaysay and Bokawkan groups
showed that those bound on Bokawkan road earns higher income. It also showed that
Buyagan route has the highest earnings and Balili and Trinidad route shared the lowest.
Weekdays are the days when high income is earned while in weekends, it declines.
The finding further showed that almost all of the drivers prefer boundary income
sharing agreement with their operator. In terms of repair and maintenance, all of them
answered that it is the operator who takes care of it, as most of them render only labor as
contribution for repair and maintenance.
The common problems of the drivers were delinquent passengers, reckless
drivers, heavy traffic, and high price of diesel.

INTRODUCTION
Rationale of the Study
We cannot deny the fact that our number one means of land transport are the PUV’s
particularly the jeepneys. Passenger jeepney is a product of an innovative mind of the
Filipinos modeled from the American jeep leftovers used in World War II. From then on it is
used as a primary public transport from rural to urban or sub-urban areas in the Philippines.
Jeepney operation can be classified in two (2) operation activities; one(1), the
operator/driver operation where the operator as an owner is the driver of his own unit, and
two(2) is the operator and driver relationship where the operator as an employer to the driver
with an agreement of the so called “boundary.”
Jeepney operation under legal basis is organized through the location they are
operating. With organization they have, they follow a certain route of operation. This routes
travel most from five (5) to seven (7) kilometers.
In La Trinidad, almost all of the barangays have a jeepney organization operating in
it. They have different routes but the same destination, Baguio City, located three (3)
kilometers in the north. Baguio City has two end points for land transportations coming from
La Trinidad, Magsaysay and Bokawkan road. This study was conducted to know the income
and expenditure of the operators and drivers operating in La Trinidad to Baguio City.

Statement of the Problem
1. What is the prevailing practice employed by operators in terms of income and
expense sharing with their drivers?
2. What is the earning variability of jeepney operators and drivers plying La Trinidad to
Baguio City?
3. What is the income and expense of jeepney operators and drivers plying La Trinidad
to Baguio City?
Objectives of the Study
This study was conducted with the following objectives:
1. To identify the prevailing practice employed by operators in terms of income sharing
between operators and drivers.
2. To determine the earning variability of jeepney operators and drivers plying La
Trinidad to Baguio City.
3. To determine the income and expense of jeepney operators and drivers plying La
Trinidad to Baguio City.
Importance of the Study
The importance of this study is to know the earnings of jeepney operators plying in
different routes of La Trinidad to Baguio City. This would also determine whether their
income is worth the daily expense they also expend from daily operation. It would also show
what route is most prominent for operation.

Scope and Delimitation of the Study
The research was concentrated on the passenger jeepneys plying La Trinidad to
Baguio City where it included Magsaysay Group and Bokawkan Group. Further, it only
included the following routes: Baguio – Tomay, Baguio – Trinidad, Baguio – Buyagan, and
Baguio – Balili.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
The jeepney, a longer version of the World War II army jeep, is the most common
and cheapest way to travel. Traffic in the cities is a mess because there are now too many
jeepneys going back and forth to Baguio City from the different barangays of La Trinidad.
The drivers leave in and out of traffic as they carry twenty to thirty people on their uniquely
decorated jeepneys. If one of the passengers wishes to get off, the only way the driver will
stop is if the passenger says “para”, knocks on the top of the jeepney or hisses. (Picture page
in the Philippines)
Jeepney operation consists of two distinct transport activities, that of the operator and
that of the jeepney driver. The participation of the operator is assumed to be a part of the
organized sector while the jeepney driver belongs to the informal sector. The operators gross
is the rental of the transport unit, which is referred to as the “boundary.” The corresponding
intermediate costs included maintenance of the unit and insurance cost. On the driver side,
gross output is equal to the gross income he earns net of the “boundary” he pays to the
operator. The major part of his intermediate consumption is fuel consumption. (Romulo A.
Virola and Sylvia M. Perio, NSCB Philippines, 1999)
Since the 1940’s, the prominent form of Filipino locomotion has been the jeepney.
Originally, jeepneys were American military surplus jeeps that were retrofitted to handle up
to 20 passengers. Their decoration has developed into high art and jeepneys have occupied a
place in the national psyche that is difficult to adequately describe. Every tourist is
recommended a few jeepney rides, just so he’ll experience some of the nuances familiar to
average Filipino – such sayings printed on the jeepney that appear on the surface to be

inspired by religious reverence, but involve double meanings. Jeepney travel is also good
way to learn basic tagalog, like “bayad” (payment) or “para pare” (stop here, friend) and the
seemingly inexplicable “bababa ba?” (is anyone stopping here?). What better way to gauge
the value of a peso than with a jeepney ride? Drawbacks for this mode among tourists are
mostly connected to comfort, but seldom can one finds a more convenient mode of transit. In
most places, jeepneys run often and get you where you need to go. There are some areas like
Metro Manila where jeepney travel is either curtailed or not good idea, but if you have the
pleasure of spending time in the province, you will surely rely on them daily. (Bayani
Magazine, April 1999)
On land, the most common form or transportation is the jeepney – the King of the
Road! This hardworking vehicle has been the backbone of public transport for many decades.
Many forms and means of passenger vehicle came by but nothing has endured the challenges
of the times like the jeepney.

METHODOLOGY
Locale and Time of the Study
The research was conducted in Baguio City and La Trinidad, Benguet, in January
2005.
Respondents of the Study
The respondents of the study were jeepney operator/driver and drivers taken on
random basis. There were 16 respondents, 8 operator/drivers and 8 drivers on each of the
routes of Baguio – Tomay, Baguio – Trinidad, and Baguio Buyagan on both Magsaysay and
Bokawkan road trips. This summed up to 96. There were also 6 respondents, 3
operator/drivers and 3 drivers for Baguio – Balili route through Magsaysay road. All in all,
the total of respondents for the study is 102 operator/drivers and drivers.
Data Collection
The research instrument used was constructed interview schedule. The interview
schedule was used to gather related information. The data for the research were collected
from December 2004 to January 2005.
Data Analysis
The data gathered from the respondents were tabulated, consolidated, categorized,
and interpreted according to the objectives of the study.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
General Information of the Respondents
This section presents the general characteristics of the respondents as to age,
educational attainment, general status, and number of household members. The respondents
were divided into operator – drivers and drivers. They were further grouped through their
routes plying in. Magsaysay group, for those plying Baguio – La Trinidad, via Magsaysay;
and Bokawkan group for those plying Baguio – La Trinidad via Bokawkan. Both Magsaysay
and Bokawkan group were sub-grouped into Baguio – Tomay, Baguio Trinidad, Baguio –
Buyagan. Baguio – Balili plies only in Magsaysay.
Operator
–
Drivers. Table 1a presents the general information about the operator
drivers plying in both Magsaysay and Bokawkan. It was found that when it comes to age, the
Baguio – Buyagan of the Magsaysay group had the lowest average while this sub-group had
the highest average age among the Bokawkan group. Generally, the operator – drivers plying
Baguio and different barangays of La Trinidad had a range of 32 years old to 42 years old. It
was also found that the operator – drivers generally reached high school level and majority
were married. The average household members in all the sub-groups were 6, except for
Baguio – Tomay and Baguio – Buyagan of the Bokawkan group that have an average
number of household members of 5.
Drivers. Table 1b shows the general information about the drivers plying in different
routes of Baguio City to La Trinidad. The result shows that the average age of drivers plying
the different routes of Baguio – La Trinidad ranges from 24 to 31 years old. When compared
to the operator – drivers, the drivers were a bit younger than the operator – drivers. This
finding implies that the jeepney drivers plying Baguio – La Trinidad were generally young.

They reached high school level and were generally married except for the drivers plying
Baguio – Buyagan and Baguio – Tomay that majority were single. They had an average
number of household ranging from 4 to 5 members. When compared to the operator –
drivers, the drivers had fewer number of household members. This was probably because
they were generally younger. Another reason probably was that almost all the operator –
drivers were married while for the drivers, some of them are still single. It was also found
that they had a lesser number of years in driving compared to the operator – drivers. This
could also be explained by the younger ages.

Jeepney Operation
The jeepney operation included the time of operation, the number of trips per day, the
seat capacity of the jeep, and the peak time of many passengers.
Operator – drivers. Table 2a. Among the Magsaysay group, the Buyagan route has the
highest average number of trips per day (11), while the Balili route has the lowest number of
trips per day (8). Both the Tomay and Trinidad routes had an average number of trips per day
of 10. This same finding is also true for the Bokawkan group.
As to the time of operation, almost all of them started from 6 o’clock AM to 6 o’clock
PM except for a few that started 5 AM to 6 PM and 7 AM to 7 PM. This study is true for
both the Magsaysay group and the Bokawkan group. According to the respondents, the time
of many passengers was usually between 6 to 8 AM. and between 4 to 7 PM.
The average seating capacity of jeepneys plying Baguio City – La Trinidad is 21
including the driver. This information is presented in Table 2a.
Drivers. Table 2b. presents that among the Magsaysay group, the Trinidad route has
the highest average number of trips per day (11) while the Balili route had the lowest number
of trips per day (8). Both the Tomay and Buyagan routes has an average number of trips of
10. The entire Bokawkan groups have 11 average numbers of trips per day. Almost all the
drivers started their operation at 6 o’clock in the morning and stopped at mostly 6 o’clock in
the evening. There were very few cases that started at 5 AM or 7 PM and stopped at 5 AM or
7 PM. respectively. As to the seat capacity and the time of many passengers, it was the same
as that of the operator – driver.

Income Sharing Agreement
The income sharing agreement refers to how the driver and the operator of the
jeepney divide the income from the operation. There were two kinds of sharing agreement
used by the drivers and operators plying Baguio City – La Trinidad route, the boundary
system and the percentage system. The findings as presented in Table 3 show that among the
Magsaysay group, majority of the respondents were using the boundary system. Only 25 %
of the Tomay route and 37.5 % of the Buyagan is using the percentage sharing system. Only
37.5 % from Buyagan route is using percentage system in Bokawkan group where the rest is
on boundary system sharing agreement. Ranges of the amount for boundary show that
Buyagan routes have the highest and the Balili route has the lowest.

Income and Expense Variability
The income and expense variability show the differences in the amount of peso
income and pesos expenses received and incurred by the operator – driver and the drivers
plying the different routes using the Magsaysay road and the Bokawkan road. This study
further shows the daily average gross income, diesel expense, “barkers” expense and average
daily net income they obtain everyday in a week. Number coding schedule of the respondents
has been included, such, reflecting a slight change in the averages per route as shown in the
tables.
Average Daily Gross Income Variability of different routes
Operator
–
Driver. Table 4a. The table shows the average daily gross income of
operator – drivers. It shows that the Buyagan route has the highest average daily gross on
both Magsaysay and Bokawkan group. The lowest is Balili route from Magsaysay group.
Observing the table further shows that the lowest peak is on weekends (Saturday and
Sunday) and on weekdays is where they have their highest peak, true to all routes. From the
earlier finding, Balili had the lowest number of trips per day. This may partially explain why
the Balili route had the lowest average daily gross income. What is interesting was that
earlier finding shows that the Buyagan route is only second to Trinidad route in terms of
number of trips per day but it was found that Buyagan route had the highest average daily
gross income. It is suspected that there may be more passengers per trip riding the Buyagan
jeepneys compared to the jeepneys in the other routes thus giving Buyagan a better position.
Comparing the Magsaysay group and the Bokawkan group, it is apparent that the Bokawkan
group had the higher average daily gross income.

Drivers.
Table 4b presents the average daily gross income among drivers of the
Magsaysay group and Bokawkan group. The result shows that the same with the operator –
drivers, the drivers of the Buyagan routes both Magsaysay and Bokawkan groups have the
highest average daily gross income. The same result to the lowest average daily gross income
on operator – drivers of Balili route. Balili drivers had the lowest. Furthermore, it was
observed that the Bokawkan group had higher average daily gross income. True to the results
of the operator – drivers, drivers also experience the least gross income on weekends as they
enjoy higher gross on weekdays.

Average Daily Diesel Expense Variability of different routes
Operator
–
Drivers. Table 5a shows that as much as they have the highest of average
daily gross income, Baguio – Buyagan route also incurred the highest average expenses on
diesel consumption. The same is true as to Balili route as they also have the lowest average
on gross income, they also have the lowest average on diesel expense. In contrary, Baguio –
Tomay comes second after Buyagan then Trinidad route. For the two groups (Magsaysay and
Bokawkan), Bokawkan group has the higher diesel expense. This could explained by the
farther distance traversed and the kind of road Bokawkan has. On daily basis, Saturday and
Sunday has the lowest average on diesel expense as it is also higher on weekdays.
Drivers. Table 5b presents the average diesel expense variability among drivers of the
Magsaysay group and Bokawkan group. The result shows that the drivers of the Tomay
routes are the highest in Magsaysay group while Buyagan route in Bokawkan had the highest
average diesel expense on the group. In contrast to the two groups, Bokawkan groups had
the highest average on diesel expense than routes plying in Magsaysay. The same with the
operator – drivers, drivers from both groups also experience low diesel expense on weekends
(Saturday and Sunday) while it is higher on weekdays.

Average Daily “Barkers” Expense Variability of different routes
Operator
–
Driver.
Table 6a shows the “barkers” expenses for operator – drivers. It
shows that Tomay route among Magsaysay group is paying the highest “barkers” fee when
summed up for the average. This is followed by Trinidad then Buyagan routes respectively.
It is also shown in the table that Buyagan route has the highest among Bokawkan group
followed by Tomay route then Trinidad. Looking closely at the two groups, it is clear that
Magsaysay group pays much “barkers” fee than those at Bokawkan. Balili route in
Magsaysay group was not paying any “barkers” fee as reflected by zero response.
Drivers. Table 6b shows the drivers “barkers” expense for drivers. Among
Magsaysay group, opposite operator – driver, Trinidad route is the highest when it comes to
paying the expense. Tomay route is the lowest among the three as Buyagan route is second to
Trinidad. Bokawkan group showed almost the same figures as it is separating them with a
low average percentage. Overall, the table shows Tomay route of Magsaysay group is paying
the least expense while Trinidad, also from the same group has the highest “barkers”
expense. Drivers of Balili route of Magsaysay group are not paying “barkers” expense.

Average Daily Net Income Variability of different routes
Average daily net income refers to the earnings of the respondents from their driving
operation after deducting the cost of diesel and “barkers” fee for the operator driver. To the
drivers, this is the net take – home pay at the end of the day after they submit the agreed
share for their operator. The data is computed from the previous tables which reflect the
average net income per route.
Operator
–
Drivers.
Table 7a shows that among the operator – drivers, the Buyagan
route plying Bokawkan road gave the highest earning which is also followed by Buyagan
route plying Magsaysay road. This implies that among the entire operator – drivers, those of
the Buyagan route of plying roads earned higher income compared to the operator – drivers
from the other routes. This is followed by Tomay route from Bokawkan group then the same
route but from the Magsaysay group. Coincidentally, Baguio – Balili route which from the
previous results shows that they have lesser trips per day, lesser gross income from others
but lesser in diesel and no “barkers” expense has higher average in net income than Trinidad
route which possess the opposite results. With these, Trinidad route either from Magsaysay
or Bokawkan group has least average in net income among the entire operator – driver
respondents. The table further shows that on daily basis, income is higher at weekdays and it
declines on weekends. Though it is not included in the study, factors that could be considered
reflecting the peak and decline of the income is that weekdays are school and working days,
thus, passenger customers are abundant.
Drivers. Table 7b shows the average net income for drivers. With the deduction for
the sharing of income from their operator, drivers have a lesser earnings than the operator –
drivers. Almost the same result to the operator drivers, Buyagan of either Magsaysay or
Earning Variability of Jeepney Operators and Drivers

Bokawkan group has the highest earnings among the entire driver respondents. Tomay also
from either of the Magsaysay or Bokawkan group is second, although there are days that
Balili route is sometimes higher, these results are greatly affected by the number coding
schedule of the respondents. Baguio Trinidad route either from Magsaysay or Bokawkan has
the least earnings. The same observation from the results of the operator – driver response,
weekends is the lowest peak and weekdays are the days for higher net income.
For the drivers, these earnings represent returns to labor but to the operator – drivers
these earnings do not represent returns to labor because the cost of maintenance is still
deducted.

Repair and Maintenance
Repair and Maintenance schedule. Table 8a. presents the interval time or period that
the respondents repair or change each part of the jeepney. The respondents are operator –
drivers only. Majority if they change their tires yearly, as some of them change as some at 10
to 11 months least is as 8 to 9 months. Change oil schedule is mostly at 2 months and few of
them are 3 months. Maintenance for brake fluid is every 1 month for almost of the
respondents. Yearly repair such as Clutch discs has a range from 1 to 1 and a half years.
Transmission, differential, engine overhaul and wiring could go as far as 7 to 9 years. This
repair and maintenance schedule usually goes at the same time according to the respondents.
Starter repair is mostly done every year the same goes for alternator repair and upholstery.
Battery is changed in the span of 1 and a half years to 2 years.
Repair and Maintenance cost. Table 8b shows the costs of repair and maintenance for
the jeepneys. It could be observed that those of more than 1 year based from the schedules
were more costly than others. Generally, average amount for changing tires is P10, 000.
Respondent’s average costs for change oil are up to P1, 3000. Brake fluid maintenance
ranges from P75 to P125. Clutch discs replacements could costs from P3, 500 to P4, 000.
Repairs and maintenance which occur from 7 or more years are more costly as transmission
and differential can go from P23, 000 and engine overhaul can go as high as P 60, 000.
Wiring, alternator, starter repair and upholstery could go from P4, 000 to P5, 000. Changing
battery can cost them P3, 000.
Among drivers response, operator takes care of the repair and maintenance as some of
them says that they only help as labor is only their contribution.

Problems Encountered
The common problems met by majority of the respondents in all the different routes
as presented in Table 9 were heavy traffic which they mentioned that they were spending
more for diesel because of the traffic. Besides, this reduces the number of trips they could
have per day. Furthermore, some passengers do not want to ride when there is heavy traffic.
They rather walk and this reduces the income of the drivers.
Another common problem mentioned by majority of the respondents was the high
price of diesel. This reduces the net income of the drivers. Another one was the delinquent
passengers. According to the respondents, there were passengers who do not pay their fare.
Some mentioned that one of their problems was on other drivers who were reckless on the
road which could result to accident. This could insinuate danger not only to the drivers but
also most especially to the passenger customers. Few encountered lazy passengers that even
if the jeepney stops at a short distance away from the point where they were suppose to go
down, they do not go but have to stop at the exact location where they are to go down. Three
drivers from Buyagan route mentioned that they met a problem because of drunken
passengers. There are some passengers who do not like to ride when a drunken person is
inside the jeepney so that is a reduction in their earning for the day.

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Summary
This study was conducted to find out the average earning variability among operator–
drivers and drivers of jeepneys of some routes plying La Trinidad municipality to Baguio
City. There were two types of respondents, the operator – drivers and the drivers. The
respondents were separated on by being an operator – driver and by being a driver. They
were grouped according to their route of operation. Each divided by having a Magsaysay and
Bokawkan group.
The finding showed that the average ages of operator – drivers from the different
routes range from 32 to 42 years old. On the other, the drivers were of younger age. The
average age of the drivers plying the different routes ranges from 20 to 30 years old. On the
average, both the operator – drivers and the drivers reached secondary level of educational
attainment. Majority were married except for drivers of Buyagan and Tomay routes where
they were generally single. The average number of households was generally higher for
operator – drivers.
It was also found out that the average number of trips done per day by the operator –
drivers and drivers of different routes is between 8 to 11 trips. Both also usually start their
trip from 6 o’clock in the morning to 6 o’clock in the evening. Majority of the drivers
mentioned that they share the income from driving with their operator using boundary
system. Buyagan routes had the highest boundary average while Balili route had the lowest.
With regard to income variability among operator – drivers, the result shows that
Buyagan route from Bokawkan group is the highest where it is followed by the same route

from Magsaysay group. Baguio – Tomay is second among the routes from either Magsaysay
or Bokawkan group. Baguio – Balili from the Magsaysay group is third and is followed by
Trinidad route.
Repairs and maintenance schedule show that changing tires usually occur in not less
than 8 months and not more than 12 months. Change oil is from 2 to 3 months as brake fluid
is in 1 to 2 months. Differential, transmission, engine overhaul, engine overhaul, and wiring
are long term schedules. Clutch discs, starter, alternator, upholstery and battery have a time
span of 1 year to 2 years. Costs of these repairs and maintenance show that those of short
time schedule are lesser than the costs of those occurring in years.
The common problems encountered by the operator – drivers including the drivers
were heavy traffic, delinquent passengers, high price of diesel, reckless drivers, and lazy as
well as drunk passengers.
Conclusions
1. The prevailing practice being adopted by jeepney operators and drivers in sharing
the income from jeepney operation is “boundary” system.
2. All the routes pay a “barkers” fee except those of Balili routes. A certain amount
is being paid to dispatchers and this is a deduction from their income. This is an
unnecessary expense but it also creates jobs for other people who cannot find a
job.
3. There was a variation in the earnings realized by the operator – drivers and even
the drivers plying the different route with Buyagan route having the highest the
Trinidad route having the lowest.

4. Heavy traffic and high price of diesel were among the common problems
encountered by majority of the drivers.
Recommendation
1. Since majority of them mentioned traffic where mostly caused by road renovation
or widening and the overcrowding of vehicles on the streets, a fixed number of
jeepney on every route should be scheduled to reduce or minimize traffic
problems.
2. To prevent delinquent passengers from not paying their fare operator - drivers and
drivers could employ an assistant who could collect the fares before passengers
could board on the jeep.
3. Proper discipline should be observed among drivers. Since they are members of
different groups through different routes, officers of these organizations should
orient other members about road disciplines. Act upon and give disciplinary
actions to violators being complained on.
4. One way to reduce the high cost of diesel for passenger jeepneys is conservation.
Proper handling and operation of jeepneys while on the road should be observed.
Another one is turn – off the engine if it is necessary.
