Public Transport

You can find different modes of public transport in the Philippines from "Jeepneys" which is the popular way to travel, buses, trains, mrt, fx, taxi, tricycle and the pedicabs, and also the unusual which are the habal-habal, also called the "skylab", the train cart, kuliglig, kalesa. I have some photos here to familiarize you and hope that you try it while you are here on a visit, not just for the thrill of it but also to experience the way we travel and move to our daily jobs. Have fun and by the way I hope that you endure the traffic, the smoke, and the noise of the daily commute.
