Tricycle Bikes - Boracay Island, Philippines

The primary public mode of transportation are Tricycle Bikes. They are basically low cc motorbikes with a "side car" which has both front & back seats. They stuff as many as 10+ passengers in them. They drop people off at various locations in whatever direction they are going. There are really no set fares. - but they are cheap - I pay 10 PHP (Philippine Pesos) or less than 25 cents to travel about 2 miles <- about the maximum distance anyone can travel on Boracay.
Btw - there is really only 1 paved road on the island - running north/south the entire length (6-7 miles) of Boracay Island - that is it in the above pics! Not much room to maneuver!
