tricycle
There are many ways to get to your destination. There are many means of transportation here in the Philippines. In the crowded roads of the Metro, you could see different types of vehicles. Here in our country, we have buses, vans, trucks, jeepneys and tricycle. Tricycle is a three-wheeled vehicle often called trike.
Tricycles are motorcycles with a sidecar with a third wheel attached on it. The sidecar serves as a passenger cabin which usually carries 2 to 3 passengers. But in other types of tricycles, it could carry more passengers because of its bigger cabin. Some cabins look like small cab or jeepneys. It can carry 5-8 passengers including the driver. Tricycles are usually colorful and artistic. The sidecars are painted with different colors base on what the owner wants. Some trikes have signage to attract customers. They are decorated like jeepneys and gadgets are being attached here and there. For more fun, some drivers install speakers and use them for some loud music to ease the boredom while driving. Types and styles of tricycle may vary.
Nowadays, tricycle can easily be found. You could see them usually in small roads. Usually, they are seen in places where buses or jeepneys are not allowed to pass. Tricycles may be funny to ride but this small form of transportation could cause traffic. Due to their massive grow in population, you could see tricycles everywhere even in the roads they are not allowed to go by. They occupy even the smallest way just to overcome the traffic which causes struggle to other vehicle.
Tricycles are for short distance travel. The fare is fixed by the government. The minimum fare is Php8.00 for tricycles that can pick up other passengers beside you. But when you want to be alone in your trip, the fare would be the number of passengers the tricycle can carry times the minimum fare. But in some cases, the fare would be the agreement between you and the driver. For students and senior citizens, the minimum fare is Php7.
Nowadays, there are different styles of tricycle. Because of the wide imagination of the Filipino people, we have now the e-tric or electric tricycle. This type of tricycle is powered by a rechargeable battery. This type of trike is environmental friendly for it only uses electricity to run. Taguig City and Mandaluyong City are the first cities to use e-tricycle in National Capital region. Besides from e-tricycle, we also have now the jeep-styled tricycle that can carry the 8 passengers and looks like a small version of a jeep. The “back-to-back” tricycle is a different type of trike that can carry 4 passengers on its cabin excluding the driver and the cabin is in back to back formation. The “stroller tricycle” is a tricycle especially made for strolling. Big speakers and music gadgets are attached on it and serve as the entertainment of the vehicle. It has also led lights to add more attraction. We also have tricycle for delivery purposes. The sidecar or the cabin is designed for business. It looks like small truck but is attached on a three-wheeled vehicle.
Tricycle may be funny to ride but drivers and passengers should always consider the safety of their trip. Drivers should always remember to go by only the roads they are allowed to pass. On the other hand, the passenger should do his part. Don’t ride for enjoyment only. Be cautious as you enjoy riding the tricycle.
