This is what people usually ride to go to their destination. Usually, maximum twenty passagers could fit in a jeepney.

TRICYCLE

The tricycle or also knon as trike is a three-wheeled, gasoline-run motorized vehicle. It is made up of a motorcycle attached to a sidecar with multiple seating and a covered roof. The roof is often used as baggage compartment, and the back is often extended to serve the same purpose. Depending on the size of the sidecar and the number of seating places, the typical tricycle can carry five to seven passengers. In provinces and small towns, where road regulation is less strict, overloading is common and trikes can seat an additional four passengers.
