The paper aimed to ascertain the private and public university undergraduates’ perceived influence of entrepreneurship transportation problems on their academic performance and to determine significant difference in the undergraduates’ perceived influence of entrepreneurship transportation problems on their academic performance based on school type and gender.

Descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation was used to answer the research questions while inferential statistic-paired sample t-test was used to test the two hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The result of the findings were that faulty commercial vehicles, the lateness of the commercial vehicle, an arbitrary increase of transport fares by commercial vehicle drivers, undergraduates struggling and rushing toward boarding commercial vehicles, overloading of commercial vehicles to the school, unworthy of some commercial vehicles, fuel scarcity were among entrepreneurship transportation problems that adversely influence private undergraduates academic performance by missing lectures and exams, causes accident, boredom, and fatigue.
