This study is made for the purpose of understanding how social constructions of rules among Bus drivers occur. In this regard a population size of fifteen (15) people were interviewed. The population is composed of bus drivers aged twenty three (23) to fifty one (51) and have been driving a jeepney as their profession for three (3) years. The researchers found that bus drivers perceive authority as the people who are in charge when it comes to traffic. Additionally, the researchers found out even without authority, the bus drivers still observe traffic rules and signs. They also perceive traffic rules and signs as adequate, but can still be improved. Lastly, the bus drivers see themselves as a collective unit and support each other.
