Understanding the risks associated with traveling is essential to finding solutions for strengthening transport services, especially during adverse weather conditions. The current study performed an analysis of the perceived risk of public transportation users of Metro Manila travelers during a flood event. Questionnaire data collected among transit users demonstrated that travelers generally perceive low risks (no risk to somewhat not risky) in using public transportation services during a flood event. Furthermore, bivariate analyses and linear regression models revealed that perceived risks primarily depend on the respondent's characteristics and their typical travel situation. Prior travel experience during a flood and beliefs about changes over time in the frequency of flood events also played a role but were less associated with the perceived risk of public transport use during a flood. Recommendations for authorities were derived from the analyses so that public transport users may benefit from a resilient transit system that is prepared for any flood event.
