Abstract Public Utility Buses (PUBs)—both provincial and city buses—are highly used mode of transportation in the Philippines. However, people are put in risks due to (1) problems in the transportation system such as intense traffic, inefficient system and overcrowded vehicles, and (2) both buses are imported from neighboring Asian countries, which could imply that those are not fit for Filipino use. The study aimed to conduct an ergonomic assessment and evaluation of Metro Manila buses and create an ideal bus layout with dimensions generated from anthropometric measurements of Filipinos. A passenger satisfaction survey was conducted among commuters to understand their concerns in the current operations and it was found that majority have issues with regard to bus spaces and environment. Another survey was conducted based on the results of the first survey, asking Filipinos on their preferred bus layout—one that would give them an optimal passenger experience.
