Dear __________________________,

SUBJECT: INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE IN SURVEY ON TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING IN CEBU CITY

I hope this letter finds you well. We are the APEX Research Team, and we are 4th year Civil Engineering
Students of the University of San Jose-Recoletos with a keen interest in transportation engineering and
sustainable urban mobility. As part of our academic research, we are conducting a survey on the
transportation infrastructure in Cebu City, specifically focusing on the advantages of a card-based fare
payment system.

Cebu City is rapidly evolving, and its transportation system plays a crucial role in the daily lives of its
residents. Your perspective as a commuter is invaluable in helping us gather insights that can contribute
to the enhancement of the city's transportation infrastructure.

OBJECTIVE OF THE SURVEY:

The primary objective of this survey is to understand the advantages of implementing a card-based fare
payment system in Cebu City. Your participation will provide crucial information that can shape the
future of transportation in the city.

ADVANTAGES OF A CARD-BASED FARE PAYMENT SYSTEM:

 Convenience: Streamlining the payment process for commuters, making it more convenient and
efficient.
 Efficiency: Reducing boarding times and enhancing overall efficiency of the transportation
system.
 Environmental Impact: Contributing to a more sustainable and eco-friendly urban environment
by encouraging public transportation use.
 Data-Driven Decision Making: Empowering authorities to make informed decisions for
optimizing routes and schedules.
HOW YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE:

Participating in this survey is simple and can be done at your convenience. The questionnaire is designed
to gather your opinions and experiences related to the current transportation system and your
perceptions of the proposed card-based fare payment system.

Your insights are crucial in shaping the recommendations that will be provided to the city's
transportation authorities. Your candid responses will remain confidential, and the data collected will
only be used for research purposes.

Your contribution to this research is highly valued, and your input will directly impact the development
of a more efficient and commuter-friendly transportation system in Cebu City.
