When you go to the Philippines,
the main mode of land transportation is jeepneys or taxi cabs and the currency is Philippine pesos (PHP). Riding jeepneys
is very cheap, so it is advisable that you take them if you want to save money. As of this writing, the minimum fare for jeepneys is PHP 8.00 or
around US$0.20. One peso is added for every additional kilometer.
A jeepney can accommodate about 16 to 32 passengers depending on
its size. Passengers are seated side by side and payments are done by passing
the fare to the driver through other passengers. Here is a typical conversation
when paying fares in a Jeepney.
