Philippines Tricycle's Its a workhorse that carries cargo and passengers which can easily fit narrow streets and alleyways unlike the other bigger public transports

Looking for a cheap ride that will drop one off at the exact address? A cab is too expensive and a jeepney will only go so far. A bus won't fit in alleys. So what's the remaining option? A Philippines tricycle ride.

The tricycle is the most popular means of transport...

...in small towns and cities, especially in the rural areas

Motorized tricycles are a common means of passenger transport everywhere in the Philippines, except on busy major highways and very busy city streets. The Boracay Budget Travel website says of the motorized tricycle, "The tricycle is the most popular means of transport in small towns and cities, especially in the rural areas."

Passenger fares are much cheaper than for taxis, yet more expensive than for jeepneys. They seem to range from P6 to P250, depending on the locality and the distance to be ridden. $1.00 US is approximately P43. Read More..

Reducing Tricycle Noise in the Philippines' Puerto Princesa City
Just like any other bustling city in the country, the city has air and noise pollution problems. The pollution is mainly caused by having too many of these poorly-maintained two-wheeler and three-wheeler tricycles. Here, they are "king of the road," unlike in other Philippine cities where it is the jeepney that reigns "king."
Philippines Tricycle
Unlike the tuk-tuk of Thailand or the becak of Indonesia the Filipino tricycle has a side car that is used to haul just about anything.

Tales of a tricycle owner

Tricycle driving was a dangerous and dirty job, but a very decent way of earning a living.

Secrets of a Millionaire Tricycle Driver
Tricycle driving was a dangerous and dirty job, but a very decent way of earning a living. There was a time when a male passenger threatened to kill me instead, after driving him and his three girl companions when I insisted on asking for their fares during a dark late night. There were times when my tricycle would breakdown in the middle of the highway, because of overloading. But these threats did not force me from stopping a decent way of earning a living.
Motorcycles and tricycles
There is a growing number of individuals who can afford a nice motorcycle just for the daily trip between their work-address and their home- address (or just for pleasure in the weekend). Still, it's only a very small number of individuals who can afford such a vehicle just for private use. Most motorcycles in the Philippines are used for serving as a kind of taxi. Most known names for these means for transportation: Tricycles and motor-taxi's. Both can be seen in many different forms and length.
Philippines Tricycles & Motorelas
The Tricycle is the Philippine rickshaw. A motorbike or sometimes a bicycle with an attached sidecar. They are decorated like the jeepneys and gadgets are attached here and there. There are various styles of tricycles. Each region has its own type.
