Especially in Manila, you'll see modern mixed in with the old. You'll see brand new big buses, taxis, and personal vehicles traveling alongside old jeepneys and tricycles. This is the one-of-a-kind experience in Philippines for tourist. The jeepneys and tricycles are always packed with people and I don't recommend tourist riding on these public transportations on their first day of arrival in Manila. However they should at least try riding them once before they head back to their country. It's fun and inexpensive to ride on them compared to taxis and buses. Jeepneys and tricycles are noticeable because of their exotic designs, decorations and lighting on the interior and exterior of the vehicle. Some drivers prefer to play their music loud. The jeepney follows a certain route like a bus while the tricycle has a limited range like some taxi.
