3 Filipino Transport Hacks

Say you need something and it’s 5 cities or an expressway away, do you go immediately to commuting? Did you even stop to think about how much your tranpo will cost? Most of us will think of just slugging out the commute at an opportune time but, turns out, there are other alternatives when trying to save money on transport like

Get Things Delivered

And this might hold true even if you’re just a city away. Well known delivery and shipping companies in the Philippines do a pretty good job with their deliveries so if you’re after an item, make delivery a consideration. From cost alone, it would appear that going to the place instead of getting them delivered might look like it costs less (Taguig to Marikina) but if you add in the time you can be available to make the transfer possible, traffic, cost in man hours and other hidden costs, it will be more apparent that a delivery is more cost effective and convenient.

Shop and Scout Online

And we’re not just talking about the well-known buy-sell-bid websites. There are Facebook groups that cater do different interest with people in them that hail from different places. If you’re lucky, the same item you are looking for that might cost you a couple hundred pesos to get to might also be available within your neighborhood! Groups may range from cosplay items to even market fish breeds.

Do Big Moves in the Evening

Especially in the almost wee hours leading to dawn. This is the time where there are almost no cars on the road. I recently had to move from an apartment in Quezon City to a House in Malolos. There were so many items that needed transporting that it took me 3 trips to be able to move them all with a regular pickup truck. It also only took me 5 hours to finish everything since the drive from the two cities would only take about 30 minutes, one way.

Do you know other hacks for cost-effective and quick transpo?
