As Manila gets back to normal post COVID-19 shutdown, Robinson Place Manila (RPM) is now offering e-trike services to provide the mall’s customers and commuters in the heart of Manila with another viable and affordable mode of transportation.
The new electric tricycle service, also called as 'E-TRIKES sa Kamaynilaan’, is a partnership between Robinson Place Manila and the local government of the City of Manila.
Here's a quick guide to help you familiarize yourself with Manila's new e-trike service.
TERMINAL LOCATIONS

PRICES
- Php 20 per head for the first three kilometers.
- Additional Php5 per head for every succeeding kilometer.
- Maximum of six (6) persons per trip for social distancing.
DIVISORIA E-TRIKE FARE
- Fare can probably cost you around Php 60 per head one way, since the distance between Robinson Place Manila and Divisoria is approximately 11 kilometers.
