Men, young or advanced in age, monopolize this occupation in villages and subdivisions all over Metro Manila. You can hear tricycles early dawn as their masters start engines at late or early hours of evenings and mornings. Drivers then run their transport around or mill at a terminal while waiting for passengers. Sometimes, fortunate ones earn a thousand and more pesos in half a day; others not so fortunate earn as little as five hundred or less pesos, especially if they rent the tricycle to run and make money for themselves. Drivers take pride in their tricycle and care for them much. They understand that a clean, upscale transport is by far favored by prospective passengers in contrast to unkempt, dilapidated ones. They are well aware of scrutinizing costumers making preferential treatment for updated, well-kept and decorated rides, except of course on bad weather when all running ones get flagged no matter their condition. What makes tricycle driving an easy source of income? Well, drivers pick you up from street-ways close to your residential door, and take you just as close to your next destination ride or stopping spot!
