It’s easy to get from point A to B. There are a lot of transportation vehicles to choose from and they can take you to anywhere you have to be. The best part of these vehicles is that they can dodge any traffic, given that you’re up to an adventure (aka a game of gas and sudden break).
If you’re going to travel on highways, take the bus. On major roads, you may take a bus, a jeep or an FX. [BTW, the FX is just like a glorified jeep with airconditioning and your daily dose of Filipino music. “MAY ENERGY KA PA BA???” Oh Lord. haha] Trikes will help you navigate small streets and subdivisions. Manila trains are: MRT (it travels along EDSA), LRT 1 (it travels along Taft Avenue) and LRT 2 (Not sure what major road this train runs on. Aurora?) If all else fails, take a taxi.
Commuting is so much fun. Buuuut I wouldn’t mind a private transportation once in a while. :P
