ABSTRACT Incidents of some foreigner Our Lady of Fatima University students in Valenzuela Campus experienced getting lost as they travelled in going to and from the university are common. Strangers in Valenzuela City, they had to ask for directions and the fares during commuting to and from school. Thus, the proponents developed an application titled “E-Jeep NN: An Android E-Jeep Guide App with GPS and Open Trip Planner API for the New Normal” in communication with the various transportation sectors which has provided important information and formulas related to the Public Utility Jeepneys (PUJ). The E-Jeep NN aims to assist passengers to easily circumnavigate selected areas via jeepneys by enabling the accessibility of fare matrix through assessed standard fares from starting point to destination, online map, self-distancing sensor, temperature reader, alcohol dispenser and E-payment. Respondents include 38 commuters in Valenzuela, and 5 IT experts. Modified Waterfall model is the Software Development Life Cycle used in the development. Blackbox Testing [8] will be used to test the system. The proponents used 5-point Likert Scale [7] for the analysis of the data. Overall, the application gained a total mean of 4.18 with an interpretation of Very Acceptable. KEYWORDS new normal, self-distancing sensor, temperature sensor, alcohol dispenser, e-jeepney routes 1 INTRODUCTION The New Normal has caused an awakening on the importance of health safety in the areas of the society. The whole year of 2020 is considered the year of the pandemic which has affected the lives of the people around the world. Worldwide all leaders of the nations are doing the best they can to defend their society in the war against this invisible enemy. One area that can be a solution to mitigate this effect is the transportation sector. In the country the main mode of this service is the new breed of jeepneys imposed by the LTFRB. Likewise, the Inter- Agency Task Force are implementing certain guidelines [3]. Long-term scenarios on the development of passenger mobility in cities should also be taken into account [6]. The proponents designed a jeep that is equipped with a navigation system, self-distancing sensor, temperature sensor, and alcohol dispenser. Nowadays, it has become gradually difficult to travel to Manila as the worsening transportation, in association with the lack of well-organized community transport and several other reasons, continue to burden commuters. These jeepneys – a primary means of transportation – use the traditional ways to disseminate the information for the newest charge matrix with direction-finding guides, which cannot be easily obtained by the common traveler. In addition, the transport sector counseled travelers to demand for charge matrix prior to disbursing the amplified passenger fare prices. Thus, the proponents added a fare matrix system with the use of an Android application to also help the passengers. With smartphone and mobile “apps”, they aggregate and optimize these mobility services [2]. Smartphone apps are also changing mobility by improving access to transportation services, increasing mobility, and enhancing traveler engagement [4]. This research concentrates on the development of an Android application named E-Jeep using the information provided by
