| Motorized tricycle. Tricycles are the most popular means of transportation in all Marinduque towns. A tricycle could normally carry four passengers but tricycle drivers often squeeze in five for that extra money to the discomfort of passengers. Two passengers ride in the side car and two behind the driver. Regular short routes are always with fixed rates from Php 10 upwards to distances of up to about 12 kilometers. |

| "Sakyan mo ako", ride on me. Beyond that distance, the rate is negotiated with the tricycle driver who, instead of quoting his price, are wont to ask passengers how much they might be willing to pay for the special trip. |

| So this boy rides this tricycle his own way. With the promotion of tourism in the island of Marinduque, some residents have invested in the purchase of comfortable passenger vehicles. |

Passenger Van Full size vans such as these could accommodate 8 to 10 passengers. They could be hired on a daily basis and the charge (including a driver), is from Php 3,500 to Php 5,000 for trips within the island. Vans could also be hired from Marinduque to any point of Luzon. Some have obtained franchises for daily trips from Manila-Marinduque and vice-versa charging Php 800 per passenger. There are no terminals for these vans in Metro Manila. They could be reached by calling the number of their operator who would arrange for the pick up of passengers from their houses or any given location ("door-to-door service"). The above vans are owned by Ronald Pol Millar of Joy Long Grandia Shuttle Service with adddress at Bancoro, Buenavista, Marinduque, and could be contacted via Celphone Nos. 0939-855-9755 or 0910-449-7606. |
