For traveling in the
Philippines there are a lot of cheap possibilities. For the long
distances on the bigger islands, the busses are the best possibility. Traveling
per train is hardly possible, because there is only on one island a railway. Taking the train is only
possible on the northern island of Luzon. This comfortable, air-conditioned train brings you from Manila to Naga in the southeastern part
of Luzon. The journey takes 14 hours and costs about 7 American
dollar.

For the shorter distances on
all islands (outside and inside towns and cities), people make use of the
jeepneys, multicabs and tricycles. In big cities like Manila or Cebu
City, the most common mean of transportation is the jeepney. Everywhere
in the Philippines, for the more short and local
distances, the multicabs and tricycles are used by many Filipinos. The tricycle, a
motorcycle with an attached passenger-cabin on a third wheel, is the cheapest.
The big advantage of the tricycle is that it will bring you to every
desired place. The multicabs, just as the jeepneys, have fixed routes.
