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.

Bus is also found in the Philippines. If you are going to Manila or that is really far away from your place you ride the bus. . Its fare is depending on the location that you are going.
That's really cool to have a variety of transportation available with such cheap prices. I'm from Japan and they don't have a tricycle or a jeepney. Since I only visit Japan once a year, the only transportation I use is the bus, but it would be nice to get on a tricycle once in a while.
ReplyDeleteThose jeepneys look pretty awesome. So flashy! When I visited Vietnam, motorbikes were their main form of transportation. Traveling around in the streets of major cities also seem like complete chaos compared to here.
