Transport in AC is cheap and easy. Although depending on the time of day it can take some time. For this reason living central is not a bad idea. Actually, everything that lies between the market and Santos Street can be reached on foot. Lazy prats like myself sometimes drive the short distance from the Margarita Station (near the market) down to Neros. Just about everything is located in between.

The best thing to choose in Angeles is either a trike or a jeepney..

Trikes are Mopeds with a roof and a sidecar which is also fitted with a roof. The advantage is that if it pours down one arrives at ones destination more or less dry. The disadvantage is if one is tall, there is a genuine problem due to the little amount of room available. Some are such a “tight fit” that one has to be a contortionist to be able to get into them, but some are ok, even when travelling à deux. The trikes are mainly found in front of hotels that are a bit out of the way such as the Clarkton or Oasis. On the stretch between the Clarkton and for example the nightlife, there are a few places well worth a visit such as restaurants, bars and massage parlours, meaning that everyone has the opportunity of making use of a trike.

The price for a trip, no matter how many are making the journey, is normally 50 Piso- Locals only pay 20, who wants to can haggle. As far as I am concerned it’s to exhausting just for a few cents. It’s important that the price is agreed upon beforehand. Here are a few pics about this topic, which also gives the opportunity to show a view of street life during the daytime 

Jeepneys are not always more comfortable, some of these also have quite tight seating. Another thing is that they are quite often full to nearly bursting point. In others it is not possible to see the road; you don’t know where you are because your head is crammed under the ceiling. The best place is next to the driver. The unusual and mainly funny sight of the vehicles should not distract ones attention from their condition, reminded me a lot of Cuba. One hole next to another, but for some strange reason they still don’t fall apart. Anything that has four wheels and moves is driven.

The Jeepneys run from the market, there are dozens of them standing around. If one is full, then off it goes. It’s off towards the Oasis (and further, but I have never been that far). When one has reached their destination, just bang on the roof from the inside and the driver will stop. If one is standing somewhere on the way and wants jump in, a small hand signal is enough. The journey costs 7 Piso each, it doesn’t matter where you want to go, one just gives the driver the money at sometime during the journey when he has time, and a hand free. Those sitting at the back pass their fare on to the other passengers who in turn pass it on to the driver, change is handed back in the same manner.
