Philippines Buses, Jeepneys and Tricycles Make Philippine Local Travel
Relatively Fast, Low-Cost, and Always Available |
|
|
Throughout the Philippines, each local area
has tricycles [small taxicabs powered by a motorcycle] or regular taxicabs
to quickly and inexpensively take both Filipino residents and visitors from
one part of the local area to another whenever they need to travel locally.
A typical fare per adult [very young children ride free] is 4 to 5 pesos for
a very short trip. Remember that each US dollar is worth approximately 52
pesos. Below is a photograph of a tricycle in use in
Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental. For faster, low-cost, always available transportation from
one area to another within 10 to 50 kilometers, use a jeepney [photo below].
Typical jeepney fares would be 20 to 60 pesos, depending on the distance being
traveled. Bus travel is faster than jeepney travel, but jeepneys are still
relatively quick transportation, especially since you don't have to wait
long for the next jeepney departure for your desired destination. You can
hail down a tricycle or jeepney where ever you are, as the vehicles travel
the streets or highways picking up and dropping off riders.
