"Philippine" General experience-traffic

In Manila, visited the city, the overall feeling of the place is not suitable for the free line, traffic is a problem.

According to the experience of the free line before, I will first select a Metro or light rail, bus, and finally a taxi. In Manila, for security reasons, decide first of all to abandon their jeep. Because of the Manila only 2 Metro/light rail line, and cannot be directly to I need to go to the spots (don't know their metro line is how design), had to choose a taxi as the only means of transport. The following is my experience: a taxi

From the airport, take the yellow taxi at the airport, the need for advance registration, so still felt quite safe.

But do not know how the road of Manila, from the airport to makati go need great Pocket near the airport circle, meter jump to p100 up also in the vicinity of the airport. Finally took p220, including drivers tips.

From makati hotel to intermuros, spent p150.

Because it is called from the hotel, the driver opened the meter, but an excuse for not paper, so do not provide a receipt.

After rizal park and intermuros to to the greenbelt, the driver is first on the price, then drive.

That is not open or receipt of the counter.
