Right now it's Jeepney.
When we lived in Marikina it was LRT & MRT

I only ride taxis and FX vans in Manila. Very rarely I would ride a bus/jeep unless I have no choice.

I'd never choose to ride Manila jeepneys either.
Used to avoid Manila tricycles too

I don't mind tricycles here and do use them often.

Private Taxi normally arranged by myself or by what hotel i am staying in
Out and about in Makati i use the normal taxi on the streets but i am on my guard
Not keen on jeepnys due to hold-uppers and being too close to people i dont know
