Traffic in Manila is legendary (and not in a good way), but transportation options abound throughout the country.

Public Transport

Jeepneys: The iconic Kings of the Road. Cheap, breezy, and crowded. A cultural experience in itself.

Tricycles: Motorbikes with sidecars. Best for short trips within neighborhoods.

Ride-Hailing Apps: Grab (like Uber) is reliable, safe, and widely used in major cities.

Driving Yourself

You can drive with a foreign license for up to 90 days. If you plan to stay longer, converting to a Philippine license is straightforward. Be warned: driving habits here can be aggressive and unpredictable.
