Public Transportation
Here in the Philippines, there are many ways to get around. So lets take a look at some of most commonly used ones.

Trisikad

This is one of the most used daily modes of transportation, for short distances. These vehicles are made up of a normal pedel bike, and a side cab that sits two people. However you will see from time to time, many more people seated in them.



Tricycle

This vehicle is made up of a motorbike and a side car, that sits 6 comfortably (7 if you count the driver) However this vehicle you will always see with more than 7 people on it. When my wife and I took the family to the beach for the day, we fit 12 people on our Tricycle. This is a great mode of transportation, if you want to get to your destination fast. Tricycles  replace taxis in towns and provinces.



Kalesa

A Kalesa is a horse drawn carriage, that sit usually 2 or more people depending on the carriage.  This is a great mode of transportation if you want to just sit back and relax and enjoy the ride. A great option for sight seeing.



Jeepney

This is the most used mode of transportation in the Philippines, it is over crowded, cramped and very busy, but it is a cheap way to get around in a city. You can also rent a Jeepney from the operator or owner for personal use.



Bus

This is one mode of transportation, that you will find that most times it is overloaded with people. It is primarily used for long distances, from city to province.



Multi-Cab

These vehicles are used mainly for family transportation, however some have been know to be used for other purposes.
