ABSTRACT
As of 2017, the Philippines as improved their transportation services with the development and
new installment of Uber and Grab, two applications that has been favored by many Filipinos
because of its convenience, safety and economical reasons. Both of these service providers has
gone toe-to-toe, with the new features and promos offered to give the best price which works for
the customer. Grab is the first e-hailing company in the Philippines. It is a subsidiary of
Malaysia’s MyTeksi, and uses smartphones to book a taxi in an efficient and safe manner. It
started running operations early 2013, while Uber Technologies Inc., a global transportation
technology company based in San Francisco, California, became available in the Philippines a
year after. With the two options being available for use, and the offers and promos these two
companies give, it would make an individual have a preferred service provider. The objective of
this study is to see whether there is indeed a preferred transport network vehicle (TNV) service
Saint Benilde. The study was conducted by issuing a survey to 40 Junior HRM Students.
After the collection and collation of the survey forms, the data was encoded and analyzed
further using the statistics software, PHStat to see if there is a pattern and a preferred
service provider, which was seen to be more comfortable than the other.

I. INTRODUCTION
Today, getting around is made easy with just a click of a button and some patience. Two notable
transportaion network serivces, Uber and Grab has made it possible for any individual to get to a
destination hassle-free and also paying the most reasonable price for doing so. These services can
be availed by downloading these applications on your cellular devices (e.g. iOS, android, etc.).
These applications are very easy to use and it offers you the choice to pay using cash, debit/credit
card. Both services allows you to choose options like “pooling” which is bascially riding with
strangers to a destination together to lessen your travel expenses. With that said, Uber and Grab
both have something interesting to offer which would be very appealing to students for its cost
efficiency reasons.
Given this predicament, this study aims to see whether there is indeed a preferred transport
network vehicle (TNV) service provider by fellow Junior Human Resource Management
aims to determine the main reasons that lead to the perception of this
to answer questions that pertained to the things they take into consideration when
they think of transporation convenience. This data will be further evaluated using
The concept of the Transportation Network Company (TNC) like Uber and
GrabCar originated in Car-Sharing idea, also known as Ride-Sharing, Ride-
Resourcing and mobile app based taxi. TNC’s are evolving as it directly competes
to the taxi industry.
2.1. Uber Experience in the U.S.A.----- In the USA (Frizell 2015), most of
the Uber Drivers are male, only 13.8% are female. They are also younger
than the U.S. worker and Taxi driver with an age between 30 to 39 years
old compared with 22.5% in the regular work force and 19.9% among
regular taxi drivers and chauffeurs. About 37% of Uber drivers have a
college degree, versus 25.2% in the general work pool. About one-third of
the Uber drivers started with Uber to earn money while looking for a
steady, full-time job. Over 62% of the Uber drivers are working fulltime or
part-time on another job. Majority (51%) of Uber drivers work 15 hours a
week or fewer. Only 19% are driving full-time (35 hours per week or more)
compared to regular taxi drivers with 81%. Uber in the U.S.A. performs
like a ride sharing in a form of additional income.
2.5 Dynamic Pricing----- Uber shows that both supply curve and demand
curve are highly elastic (Bill Gurley, 2014). When price surge, an
immediate reduction in open-to-order ratios. As expected, higher prices will
reduce demand. Uber’s decrease in price will result materially to increased
demand. Dynamic pricing policies are well applied also in hotels, airlines
and rentals. Same as other Internet marketplace companies, when scarcity
of supply is experienced, dynamic pricing is the solution (Bill Gurley,
2014). Some of the examples that use dynamic prices are Ebay’s original
auction model, Airbnb and Homeaway, and Google’s core Adwords
offering.
This study aims to see whether there is indeed a preferred transport network vehicle (TNV)
Salle- College of Saint Benilde. In addition to this, this study aims to determine
the main reasons that lead to the perception of this transportation service provider
In order to acquire the necessary information for this study and to have an
College of Saint Benilde. They were tasked to answer questions that would
service provider. Situated below is the survey from we have administered to the
respondents.
Good day!
We are students of Elementary Statistics from section TH301. As part of the requirements in this course,
we need to conduct a survey with regards to Uber or Grab as the preferred transport network vehicle
(TNV) service provider by Junior Human Resource Management students of De La Salle- College of Saint
Benilde.
As we ask for your help in accomplishing our research by answering a simple survey below. Rest assured
that your answers would be taken with utmost confidentiality. We are hoping for your most honest
answers. Thank you very much for your time.
