How locals move

Getting around San Nicolas the local way

  • Get inAs of 2025, only DLTB operates buses that go from Metro Manila (Cubao and Buendia, with more frequent trips at the latter) to Lemery, where one can easily get a tricycle or jeepney to Taal; see Lemery#Get in for further info and listings.
  • Get inOthers take the Diversion Road and can drop you at the Flying V intersection where that branches off from the highway that goes into downtown Taal; tricycles and jeepneys are usually available at that intersection.
  • Get inA one-way tricycle fare costs P60, while jeepneys cost P13.
  • Get aroundJeepneys (mainly on Lemery-Lipa or Lemery-Batangas routes) pass through the town and provide a cheaper way to reach destinations on major roads.
  • Get aroundFor example, a tricycle between downtown and the Food Streat will cost but jeepney is per person.
  • Get aroundIf you are going into Lemery, a jeepney () will get you into the town but you will likely need a tricycle (perhaps ) to get to your final destination; it is easier to just get a tricycle all the way (around , though they may ask for ).
  • Go nextIt is possible to walk across the bridge, or to drive or take a jeepney, but the commonest way is by tricycle.
