Abstract

To meet the growing need for streamlined transit in the Municipality of Romblon, this research introduces TRIPSY, an Android-based platform for optimized tricycle dispatch and booking. The project focused on creating an intuitive interface serving three distinct groups: commuters, operators, and administrators. While the research employed convenience sampling, a factor noted by the authors as a limitation regarding the total population of 40,554 citizens and 1295 drivers, this pilot phase successfully established a performance baseline. Empirical results from 100 passenger participants showed a high level of acceptance, yielding a weighted mean of 4.39. While the system excelled in usability and operational efficiency, “system reliability” was identified as the primary area for technical refinement. Feedback from 10 tricycle operators was even more favorable, resulting in a 4.67 mean score, though hardware compatibility remains a point for future optimization. Although the sample size was limited to a closed technical pilot designed to establish an operational baseline, TRIPSY’s alignment with international software standards and positive local reception confirm its potential as a viable transit solution. Future development will focus on enhancing system stability and cross-device integration to further solidify its efficacy in the Romblon transport sector.
