I don't have a favorite, it depends on how much time i got. If im on a hurry i took a Cab or MRT (train) if im travelling through EDSA , if i got lot of time i took a jeepney or tricycle or whichever is available.

Taxi Cab is my vote! The rest were ok once for the novelty. Taxi, everywhere, all the time! My life is too short and my time is too precious to go any other way!

My beloved Joy is here, married and pregnant!

I had fun riding in the Jeepney. There was one I was in that made all sorts of crazy noises. The driver kept having it make noises because it was making me laugh.

I had to try a jeepney when we were in Cebu but just don't fit in them very well, always bent over, so didn't ride any after that.

i find this dangerous especially with the additional loads of basket in two sides aside from the passenger. My classmates and I were so afraid coz we were goin up to highlands for cultural minorities visits as part of religious education course way back in college. The road was rough and slippery but it seemed so easy for the driver to manage it.

that was a horrible yet memorable experience and find it kinda funny now.

well, I still like tricycle which can load up to 6 persons. Sometimes the driver would add 1 more in front but I don't ride in a tricycle with 7 passengers...

I vote tricycle. We all went to the fiesta stayed for hours. When we returned to thier jeep it was blocked in. Jean sent her brother a text, ten minutes later we were rescued. When he arrived, eight of us loaded up. We arrived at her house with no problems. I know for a fact, nine people will fit on only one tricycle. Best Wishes john&jean
