This study explored the lived experiences of elementary pre-service teachers who volunteered as tutors in Brigada Pagbasa, a community-based reading program conducted in partnership with the Department of Education. Using a qualitative phenomenological design, the study drew on semi-structured interviews with pre-service teachers from the Bachelor of Elementary Education program at Apayao State College who provided weekly tutorial sessions within a service-learning framework without receiving academic credit. The data were analyzed using Saldaña's coding technique. Five themes emerged from the participants' accounts: motivation and purpose, enjoyment and fulfilment, challenges and learning, confidence and personal growth, and a sense of responsibility and impact. Participants described the tutoring experience as an opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge, respond to difficulties encountered while working with struggling readers, seek appropriate teaching strategies, and reflect on their developing roles as future teachers. Their accounts also indicated perceived growth in confidence, professional responsibility, and understanding of learners' needs. The findings suggest that community-based reading engagement can provide a meaningful context for connecting teacher education coursework with authentic instructional experience while strengthening reflective and community-oriented dimensions of pre-service teacher preparation.</p> Nellievil P.

This has made transport logistics challenging. The study sought to analyse passenger flow patterns and examine the determinants of transport logistics efficiency. It also investigated the relationship between passenger flow patterns and logistics performance in selected areas. Several theories explain the complexities of passenger flow and logistics efficiency in peri-urban settings, including Central Place Theory, Urban Transport Theory, and Accessibility Theory. A descriptive survey research approach was adopted. Primary data were obtained from 400 respondents and analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The study revealed a high intensity of passenger movements in the study area, as 55.0% of respondents were daily commuters, while 45.0% travelled mainly for work purposes. Bus transport was the major mode of transport used by passengers, accounting for 42.0% of total trips. The findings indicated high levels of travel delays, waiting times, congestion, and overcrowding, especially during the morning and evening rush hours. Regression analysis established a strong correlation between passenger flow characteristics and transport logistics efficiency (R = 0.812; R² = 0.659). Transport infrastructure (β = 0.337; p = 0.000), passenger flow (β = 0.302; p = 0.000), and route connectivity (β = 0.254; p = 0.000) positively and significantly affected transport logistics efficiency, while travel time (β = −0.218; p = 0.000), waiting time (β = −0.201), and transport cost&nbsp; (β = −0.173) negatively affected transport logistics efficiency. The regression model was statistically significant (F = 130.285; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;p = 0.000).</p> <p>In conclusion, the study shows that, although public transport remains the basis of passenger mobility along the Ibadan urban and peri-urban corridor, demand has surpassed transport capacity because of increasing urban needs, resulting in relatively moderate transport logistics efficiency. The study recommends increasing public transport services, improving road infrastructure, and integrating transport planning strategies.</p> O. M. Gegeleso I. O.
