Every country has their own way to transport passengers from one place to another. It is typical for European and Western countries use buses as public transportation. It is cheaper and economical for the people to go to their offices, hospital, malls, etc.

In Asian countries, the local people have their own public transportation. People across the borders were so delighted and amazed how it was being created. Most of the public transportation is second-handed or used vehicle’s engines were remodeled to a more useful for the Asian people. It depends on how the second-handed vehicles will be transformed into public transportation.

In the Philippines, the local people have their own pride of using jeepneys, pedicab and tricycle are commonly used as the public transportation. It is the cheapest in terms of paying passenger’s fare. The uniqueness of the creation can always amaze foreign tourists while visiting the country.
Jeepney is a shared public transportation and available in all provinces in the Philippines. The jeepney’s framework is like a typical bus but the difference there is no compartments at the side of the vehicle. The top load was customized to use for baggage.

Tricycle is not commonly seen in all the provinces of the country. In Baguio City, the tricycle is not being used as public transportation. This type of vehicle in the Philippines is like a taxi in some provinces. It is cheaper than riding the yellow cabs in the cities. It is a motorbike and attached to the passenger’s unit.

Pedicab is the replica of the tricycle-type vehicle. Instead of using a motorbike, the bicycle is being used to the passenger’s unit. It wasn’t expensive in terms of fare is a concern. The pedicab drivers are innovative in designing their own vehicle nowadays. The installation of speakers, the tinted glasses, goods, etc. At some point, it is considered environmentally friendly vehicle.

Excellent photos, Shavkat. I’ve never been there but I think the Philippines would be a great place to visit. I like the food. I’ve even cooked chicken adobo myself.
That’s nice to hear. I assume that you have some Filipino friends out there. If you have the chance, Philippines has a lot to offer. c”,)
One of my daughters married a Filipino man who is first generation American.
That’s nice to know, my friend. I am sure that the Filipino has been introduced. Hopefully, he still remembers the culture. c”,)
Cool transportation. We also have similar transportation models in Indonesia. Well, we are Asian fellow indeed, there is always something similar in many ways…
I do agree with you. I also like some transportations in your country.
