The unwritten rules every Filipino commuter knows.
Say “Para po!”
To stop a jeepney, say “para po” clearly or tap a coin on the metal handrail. The driver will pull over at the next safe spot.
Pass your fare forward
Hand your fare to the passenger in front of you and say “bayad po” — it gets passed hand-to-hand to the driver, and change comes back the same way.
Agree on tricycle fares first
Tricycles have no meter. Ask “magkano po?” and agree on the price before getting in. Shared rides are cheaper than “special” (solo) trips.
Bring small bills and coins
Drivers rarely have change for ₱500 or ₱1,000 bills. Keep ₱20s, ₱50s, and coins handy.
Get a Beep card
One reloadable card works on MRT, LRT, EDSA Carousel buses, and BGC Bus — faster than buying single tickets.
Mind the rush hours
7–9 AM and 5–8 PM are peak. Add 30–50% more travel time, or travel mid-morning for a calmer ride.
