Streets of Phillipines (Entry 3)
Below are the common mode of transportation there; the jeepneys
The roads are filled with colourful jeepneys. It only cost about 20 pesos to ride on it. They are quite a sight there, making the streets look real pretty with their unique designs and bright colours.
There are no specific stops for it, u just have to stand around and they'll stop wherever u r standing. Look at the side of the jeepney to see the places where the jeepney will take u. It's quite an experience riding on one. Some jeepneys can be real crowded that u have to stand at the edge of the jeepney. But due to the crowded traffic and busy streets, normally jeepneys don't go faster than 40km/h.
U seldom see buses there. filipinos normally travel by jeepneys or taxis.

be prepared to be hassled by mobile street vendors. they will try to sell u drinks and titbits.if they know u r tourists, they will be more persistent. for me, i didnt have much of a problem coz many times i was really mistaken for a filipino!
