In the Philippines, the public utility jeep fare costs Php 7.50 for the first four kilometers and Php 1.25 for the succeeding kilometer while public utility buses fare costs Php 8.00 for the first five kilometers and Php 1.75 for every succeeding kilometer. The flag-down rate for taxi is Php 30. Fare increases as oil price increases, as of now diesel costs Php 32 per liter.

Yes, fares in the provinces are a little lower though prices of oil and automotive spare parts are a little higher there due to added distribution cost.

I my town in the US we do not even have public transit. no buses, no trains, nothing but a taxi. I have never had a taxi ride here, we are a small town and you could easily walk from one side of this town to the other within a few hours.

In London the public transport is by train called the TUBE network and by bus. It costs around 50 to 100 pounds a month depending upon which zone you travel from and to.

In here local transportation cost $0.1 long or short way. if you travel from city to other city the cost was more higher I'm not really sure how much per KM.

For me, taking a taxi to my college cost around 1.5 USD. Not quite cheap but is still affordable for me.
