TRANSPORTATION
There are many ways to get around, especially in urban areas. Buses, jeepneys, taxis, and motorized tricycles are commonly available in major cities and towns.

Train services are provided by three main railway networks that serve different areas of Metro Manila and parts of Luzon: the Manila Light Rail Transit System (LRT), the Manila Metro Rail Transit System (MRT), and the Philippine National Railways (PNR).

As an archipelago, inter-island travel via watercraft is often necessary. Passenger ships and other sea vessels such as those operated by Superferry, Negros Navigation, and Sulpicio Lines serve Manila, with links to various cities and towns.

Some rivers that pass through metropolitan areas, such as the Pasig River and Marikina River, have air-conditioned commuter ferries.

_TRAVEL SAFETY TIPS
• Always bring loose change when taking public transport. Prepare to hop in a jeepney, tricycle, or pedicab ---exotic modes of land transport that are the most commonly available for going around.

• Know the transport schedules. Some destinations are only being serviced intermittently, and some extreme weather conditions  affect these schedules.

• Air-conditioned taxis should cost PhP40 on the meter. An extra PhP4 will be added for every 500 meters.

• Comfortable yet sturdy footwear are best, as traveling the islands will often involve some walking.

• When headed to the remote areas, come prepared with an insect repellant and even your own water in handy containers. Always have the island map with you.
