Pedicab in Manila |
Riding in pedicabs in the Philippines
It is a fun thing to do. On a sunny day that is. On a rainy day it may very well be a bad experience.In Chinatown in Manila we rode in a pedicab. We did not ask the fare to go about 3 blocks. We were looking for a famous Chinese restaurant. It was raining and the street was flooded in places. At a deep spot the water rose to within about 4 inches of the top of the seat we were sitting on. What a mess. The operator indicated that the restaurant was near us so we got out and asked the fare. "150 pesos" he answered. The ride was not worth more than about 25 pesos. We could have taken a taxi miles for that price.

In some areas they are the fastest way to get around. For example, in Divisoria, where one may need to walk for several blocks to find the best deals on goods. Take a pedicab and relax between shops or vendors.
