Manila Transportation/visa documents-ready?

[john&louella 0]

Hello Guys!

I need help, i will be travelling to Manila for my Visa interview and battling between using TAXI or MRT?

If i use TAXI - how much would it possibly charge me if i am coming from Cubao bus station to Citystate Hotel?

If i use MRT- Which line should i go and ride? the stops?

and from UN Avenue,do i have to get taxi to bring me there to hotel?

which one is much safer? i will be travelling alone and i am not familiar with Manila things, hehehe

so i am humbly asking for your replies so i have a guide how to get there at the hotel safe and in one piece, hehehe.

(the last time i use MRT, i was going to Carriedo but i ended up at Baclaran, it was dark and i was alone it was scary and i really dont want that thing to happen to me again, lol.)

This is my suggestion... from Cubao, you could ride a jeep or FX with mabini signboard.

other member might be able to give you better response.

Prepare Php150-200, pero it depends sa taxi na kukunin mo kasi may mga taxi na garapal yung mga driver, yung iba gusto may padagdag pa I suggest to ride EMP or R&E Taxis

If i use MRT- Which line should i go and ride? the stops?

and from UN Avenue,do i have to get taxi to bring me there to hotel?

If you are in Araneta Cubao, I suggest for you to ride the LRT2. Bumaba ka sa Recto Station from Araneta Cubao Station ng LRT2. Pagkababa mo ng Recto ay tumawid ka papunta sa kabilang LRT bali nasa Doroteo Station ka nun,mga Php12 ata ticket. From Doroteo Station ay bumaba ka sa Pedro Gil, prepare Php15 sa ticket. Kung sinisipag ka maglakad ay pwede mo naman lakarin yun CityState Hotel from Pedro Gil pero mejo malayo layo. Just refer na lang sa map. Pero kung hindi maganda ang panahon at hindi mo type maglakad ay magtaxi ka na lang, mga less Php50 lang naman magagastos. Sabihin mo na lang yung hotel and for sure at alam na nila yun. You don't need to ride MRT yun ay kung nasa Araneta Station kana. Check mo din yung magnetic card mo kasi makikita mo dun yung mga stations na dadaanan ng train pra alam mo kung pang ilan station ka bababa.

which one is much safer? i will be travelling alone and i am not familiar with Manila things, hehehe

IF you just want to sit and relax, I suggest Taxi. If you want to save then I suggest to ride LRT. But if you will ask on which is much safer, then I can't tell you what as I believe that accidents can happen anywhere and anytime. But if you will ride taxi, again, I suggest R&E and EMP. It is much safer to ride compare to other taxis.

so i am humbly asking for your replies so i have a guide how to get there at the hotel safe and in one piece, hehehe.

NOTE: There are lots of routes that you can take in going to your destination. You can go down to UN Station from Carriedo Station if you want, but I think going to Pedro Gil Station is the shorter way. I put Orange line dun sa map above pra makita mo yung direction from Pedro Gil Station going to the hotel. If you think you are lost or you aren't sure of the route you are taking then don't be scared or shy to ask for directions as asking directions won't hurt you Good Luck!

Hi, thank you very much po for the very helpful information,maraming salamat talaga kapatid!

If you're scared to ride in a taxi alone,just go on what rheanick suggested, tell the fx driver that you're going to city state hotel and for sure you wont get lost.good luck on ur interview

[adiiann 163]

It's not naman scary to ride taxi basta lang lagi mong tandaan to lock the doors as you get inside the cab...

From cubao-manila, maximum na yong 170 pesos.. if it is more than 20... then may batingting ang taxi...

Where in cubao ka ba?... and what time?.. it depends rin kasi kung saan ka kukuha ng taxi and what time para malaman mo kung talagang safe ka...

If you are around araneta... better get taxi dun sa gateway...

[adiiann 163]

Hehehe.. good to go ka na...

NBI clearance lang hinihingi unless.... you travel abroad and stay there for 6 mos or more... if days lang... di na kailangan ang police clearance

[john&louella 0]
