Popis: Traditionally, buses and taxis are the legally- accepted road-based public transport modes. But in most developing countries, alternative types of public transport vehicles can be found. Informal public transport concept is adopted in this paper. Its importance has been widely recognized but limited studies on understanding it from a holistic perspective.This paper attempts to understand the informal public transport mode from a holistic perspective by understanding the role of the different public transport modes (jeepneys, tricycles, motorcycle taxis) among its key stakeholders. Specifically, it investigates the local government side, its institutional set-up and the public transport supply sector.
