Transportation from Manila Ninoy Aquino Airport to City Center
Manila Ninoy Aquino Airport, located 7 kilometers south of the center of Manila, is also quite crowded and complex, just like the city center. For this reason, there may be some difficulties in finding buses, especially during busy periods. You have several different bus alternatives on your journey to the city centre. The reason for this is the facilities and ticket prices provided by the buses to their passengers. In Manila, it is possible to reach the city center by paying a higher price for the ticket and using high-tech vehicles such as air conditioning and television. Normally, it takes 30 minutes between the city center and the airport, but when the traffic is crowded, this time can even go up to 2 hours.
In the Philippines, minibuses made from old American buses are called 'jeepneys' and these vehicles are widely used in urban transportation. Jeepneys also provide transportation between the airport and Baclatran.
Another means of transportation you can use in Manila is taxis. When you take a taxi from the airport, don't forget to negotiate the price with the driver if you don't want to pay too much in the traffic that has become a lock due to Jeepneys.
