DifferentTransportation in the Philippines

To go to one place to another all of the people need transportation to do that. Here in Vegas we use our car if we have one but if we don’t, we have to ride the bus but waiting for the bus really requires a lot of patience right? And if your house is far from the bus stop you have to start walking early just to get on your destination on time.

In the Philippines not all of the people could afford to buy a car. We all have a different transportation and I will introduce it to you. For the people who are going a mile or just a few blocks away they choose to ride the so called “tricycle”. Tricycle are built with motorcycle on the left side and a side car. It can carry to 3 or 4 passengers. There are a passenger sit next to the driver and three people can sit in the side car. Fares for tricycle is really cheap it only cost 10 pesos.

Another transportation that we have is the "Jeepney". Jeepney is also one of the cheapest means of transportation.  Unlike tricycle jeepneys can be found almost everywhere. About 20 passenger can fit in a jeepney and it has an open window.  The route of this is depending on the location that is written on the side of the jeep or on the front.
