Accredited taxis are located outside the arrivals area. Rates are pre-approved by the airport management and taxis must be pre-paid at the counters in the arrival lobby.

Several car and limousine rental companies operate out of the Airport.

By Bus:

Major bus companies run daily throughout the country with regular stops in Manila. There is not a central long-distance bus station, so bus terminals are scattered around the city.

By Rail:

The Philippines have one train line that connects Manila to the Bicol region of the south. However, the train service is slow and can be dangerous.

Getting Around:

The Metro Manila Development Authority (+63 0282 4150; http://www.mmda.gov.ph) runs the city's public transportation system consisting of the Mass Rail Transit (Metrorail) and the Light Rail Transit.

Private bus companies service Manila including:
DMTC (+63 02 373 2981)
JD Transit (+63 02 911 0161)

Taxis can be located throughout the city. Major cab companies operating in Manila include:
Avis Taxi (+63 02 532 5758)
EMP
R & E Taxi
Basic Taxi

Jeepneys are a fun and inexpensive way to get around the city day or night. These jeeps can be flagged down anywhere throughout Manila.
