Small vehicle. Huge part of daily life.

WHY THEY MATTER

The last few kilometers of Filipino transport.

Tricycles have been used as public transportation in the Philippines for decades. Their compact size makes them useful on smaller roads, residential areas and routes that buses or jeepneys may not serve.

Unlike a jeepney, which normally follows a route, a tricycle can often take you directly to a nearby destination. That makes it especially useful for markets, restaurants, pharmacies, beach connections and short practical trips.

For visitors, tricycles are often the easiest way to experience truly local transportation without needing to understand a full public-transport route network.
