Navigating Manilas Public Transport | Metro Commuter & Jeepneys

[@GaryUy-bt1wx]

That's the last trip of train!! They will make it an elevated train system!! And they will make an elevated rail up to the northern and southern provinces!! They are building an underground subway system now in manila!! From northern part of metro manila through bgc to the southern part of metro manila!!

[@EoinandAisling]

Wow!! That’s soo cool that we got to experience it before it closed, the new line will be amazing for the city!

[@japoy-z9e]

@@EoinandAisling Just to clarify, the train you rode is the PNR, a commuter train with much slower speed but cheaper price. It is a different train from the city train which is called MRT or LRT equivalent to Irish Rail/Translink.

[@AJ-kc4ry]

@@EoinandAisling that's so coincidence! also guys try using the word train instead of metro

[@sophielewistravelsandthing7104]

they call the mrt as metro which is different from our trains. trains in the west is different with mrts and our trains is different in trains in like sydney, they serve likes mrts, more efficient and digitized and sytematic.

[@AJ-kc4ry]

@@sophielewistravelsandthing7104 i know that. i've been in other countries even in europe, that's why i taught them that in philippines we call it trains instead of metro, so people who aren't aware can help them

[@henrymercado9949]

the old train system is no longer operational and will be upgraded/replaced with a new modern one. connecting north and south of luzon.

[@ReyvenBergado-tf2sc]

The PNR train will become elevated. It will start from Laguna then to Manila and then to Clark airport and to NCC. You can land in Clark and go to Manila and vice-versa by train.

[@ayawlagepalabi8054]

Mighty brave of you guys to go out and take public transportation under the sun. I wouldn't stay outside long since I'd probably know where the nearby shopping mall would be, either a Robinson's or an SM, to cool down. I often do this in Cubao, where you walk from one mall to another, all the way to the Metro Rail Transit.

[@danignacio2629]

Your so brave to take our public transport. I've not yet tried that PNR line. That is a media taking the last trip of that train line. We are upgrading our rail transport.By 2028, North South Commuter Railway will be completed from North- Clark to South-Calamba with 37 stations across 28 municipalities.Other lines under construction is Metro Manila Subway MRT-9 and MRT-7.LRT1 extension phase 1 will be completed end of this yr hopefully. Enjoy your trip.Take care always.

[@kateldridge5277]

You guys have a lot of energy. I heard that the weather there is tremendously hot 🥵. I give you a lot of credit!

[@ScarlettHarleyMadison]

Total madhouse 😅 but hey you chaps got to experience the raw side of Manila..its chaotic in the streets but surprisingly it does work!! Plus locals do got out of there way to try to help out so thats a good sign..

[@EoinandAisling]

So so true! We always have the best days just out exploring and chatting with locals, Filipinos are some of the friendliest, most helpful people

You did not get ripped off with that drink. In other parts of the metro, we’ve paid for more for the same size fresh juice. Go to a mall and it will be even more expensive.

[@EoinandAisling]

We were so confused because the areas we’d been in before were 60 at the very most but it’s one of those things that changes depending on where you are

[@toriahmyworld]

​​@@EoinandAislingLarge for P60, it's actually cheaper than in the mall. The price sometines vary on the price of the renting space and location.

[@AJ-kc4ry]

@@EoinandAisling most of the real fruits are expensive in manila but very cheap in the province. maybe you got ripped off a little bit like 20-40 pesos more

[@partyeslife8157]

maybe it was the price of the sugar 🤣🤣

[@harukurumi2747]

As they said that will be the last operation of that train as it will be changed into a proper train/electric and elevated. So the news is documenting or getting the news out of the last travel of that train line

[@EoinandAisling]

No way that’s so cool, next time we come back we will have to go back and go on the new one

[@E_l_l_i_e]

Food prices depend on where they are located. You have to consider that they pay rental and permits. In malls, a standard small cup (half the size of that cup) costs around P65 to 70. The minimum jeepney fare is P13. 11 pesos is for students, PWDs, and senior citizens.

[@LilyBeth-wm6lg]

Keep safe guys..

[@CycloneProductions22]

Wow I didn't expect you riding the same train as i eas taking a video on at the last day of Philippine National Railways Mainline before its 5-Year Temporary Shutdown Operation Just to Clarify, Since Most People Misconcepted this Information but Since Its only 5 Year Temporary Closure, After 5 Years between 2028 and 2029, The At-Grade Railway will return to Revive its Freight Services and Long Haul Passenger Service

[@LikBatonBoot]

That PanAm bag is so retro

[@yashiroonyt]

Filipinos most friendly❤

[@mocabe01]

That is actually Metro Manila (formally, the NCR). It appears you were mostly in Taguig (FTI complex area) at the first part and then Tutuban PNR station (in the real Manila City) later. "Metro Manila" is the region. "Manila" is just one of many cities in it. About half of the cities here are bigger than Manila. While we do appreciate your effort braving the heat and promoting life here in PHL, please do it properly by naming your locations correctly. 15:06 Yes, I can imagine how annoying the constant honking it. But you are correct that it's to ensure the squatters living at the side of the rail will clear the path. It was much worse before because there were far more squatters there and it became regular news that someone gets run over. As the saying goes, safety precautions were first written with blood. 18:50 Having security inspection at the entrance of most (all?) buildings is perhaps among the most culture shocking for foreigners. We actually did not have those long ago. It only started ~20 years ago when Metro Manila became target of terrorists linked to the Al Qaeda (they hated us for being allied with the US). Intelligence revealed they will target populous areas like public buses, malls and movie houses and thus, security inspection was put in place. It became standard since then.

[@bluesnowconeplays5362]

I still couldn't believe your are doing this in manila. This season is really really hot, the heat index is reaching 40+ degrees Celsius. That is scorching hot.

[@georginaelliots7666]

You Are very Lucky to Ride The Last Day of Operation of the train... You are Part of the History......🚊🚋🚞🚝 The TUTUBAN MALL Is the ORIGINAL TRAIN STATION... Look at the Beautiful Original Facade....

[@FranciscoVerra]

D train you had riding was on d last trip, it will be closed for 5yrs, for renovation, it will elavated and will be rin on electricity.. Its a 145km train system.. Keep safe, just ask d local if loss on d way...

[@lenorebautista7784]

Use Grab apps cars when your on the rush dont use taxi but if your alone use joyride apps or moveit apps

[@polgonzales]

⭐️ makes me wonder how old these videos are. In my neck of the woods, they’ve started ripping out the old rail tracks. 🚆 make sure you return in 5 years. I believe the brand new trains, aside and because they’ll be elevated, it’ll be running at 110km/hr with much less honking. Congratulations for taking that “historic” ride. The last one for now. I love trains. You rode an old version of the old system (if you know what I mean). There is a 2-3yr old train that looks a “wee” bit prettier.

[@HareshSajani]

Hey aisli I'm big fan 😊🤗 I'm from India very very very nice videos 😊❤ love for you ❤️

[@romeosinson4446]

Metro transport will soon be better, meaning not much of an ordeal anymore, with the subway being constructed, the elevated north/south commuter train also about to start construction, the mrt 7 soon to operate and the jeepney modernization program. True, the metro transport is a nightmare right now but we’ll see in the next few years if it’s going to be better. Fingers crossed.

[@urfavchickenlegs8797]

Watching all the way from Indonesia! Philippines got lots of work to upgrade their public transportations. Pls have a visit to Indonesia and experience our public transport. We have one of the best railway system in Asia and also other modes of public transport. Trust me, you will never regret it 😊

One of the famous night markets near where you’re staying is the Ugbo Night market. Mostly street food is what they’re oferring. PS. You were not offered foreigner price for that blue lemonade. That is the usual price for the juices in those kind of stores :) PSS. Hot coffee on a hot afternoon.. that’s so Filipino haha😂

Be careful too hot try boracay or siargao to chill or relax also Baguio city❤

[@velky_reeds]

the jeepneys are not 11 pesos wherever you go, the price increases if you're going much farther. Also, the fate of the jeepneys are uncertain as they're expected to be completely removed probably this year or so. Jeepney drivers are going on strikes recently

[@minim6981]

LRT-2 is the best train. It's newer and wider than the other lines

[@VinongNMonang]

why dont you try baguio - the summer capital of the philippines

[@EoinandAisling]

Oh we will have to go sometime

[@pizza7895]

That is not the rail metro, what you road was the provincial train. Mwtro is the LRT1, LRT2 and the MRT that traverse thru edsa. And yes they will be demolishing the provincial train and make it a new one.

[@velky_reeds]

they already tried MRT that on their first visit in the country from what I remember, which is why they tried the PNR this time around

[@virgiliosaavedra87]

I can't believe you took the provincial train lol. It's the worst type of commuting in the Philippines coz its old and slow but it's getting a revamp thankfully.

[@arnelsanjuan2310]

Google Maps is your friend if you're trying to find the nearest metro station. Too bad you didn't aboard one of the newest rolling stock of PNR that has better air conditioning unit.

[@RichieDb2]

- Minimum jeepney fare is P13. - There are cameras in the PNR station because PNR is in the news lately due to its halting of operations in most routes to give way to restoring long-distance travel from Calamba (Laguna) to Legazpi (Albay). - Did you notice some of the Pinoys wearing thick sweatshirts and jackets in 38 degree heat? and speaking of heat... - Drinking hot coffee in this heat? You're veritable Pinoy now 😄.

Hello 👋

[@sophielewistravelsandthing7104]

u confused the trains and the mrt, mrt is what we call the metro. the guy who kept on saying hi, pretty sure he said tulay/mrt means that jeep will stop to the nearest mrt station that u missed, u should have asked him, those barkers for jeepneys usually knows all the routes or stops u need to know, the train is for long travels, while mrt (metro) is just the main stops in the whole metro manila. i just wish u have a filipino friend to guide u.

[@jaives050]

Fyi that train is not an lrt/mrt. What are you trying to show?
