Project: River-Taxi Project_Part 2

Right now I'm in the process of dissecting the outcome of our survey in Sri Aman... The most significant information is shown below. From the picture, we can see out of 198 respondents, 59 of them stay near river while the other 139 stays in villages further in land or in town area.


Interestingly, we observe that out of those staying near river, only 23 respondents uses water transportation while 36 others do not use them. Reasons stated are concerns on the safety aspect of water transportation, the low or non-existent of public water transportation and the availability of roads from their houses to town. From respondents not living near river, we’re surprised that there are water transportation users among them, 32 of them. Of course the other 107 of them do not use water transportation because they don’t need to.

I expected more users from those staying near river and no user at all for those staying further inland... oh well..Byah!!
