Transportation Costs Philippines

For those of you wondering how much it costs to get around Manila , here are a few figures;

Taxi - from my placa in mandaluyong to makati intercon ( around 8 kilometers ) I pay $1.52
i dont tip these guys - they have no manners, used to be they said goodmorning / afternoon/ evening but the younger guys are just plain rude.

Jeepney - always a fun way to get around - now they charge per"sakay" which means ride or in this case per stop so one stop will cost you .16 cents

MRT - metro rail transit from .26 cents per stop

Tricycle - a three wheeler - negotiable

Rent a van - for one day, you feed the driver and put in gas $40.00 / 60.00 per day
