"Brother, your ride is here."

To "commute" here in Bacolod means to ride the local public transport vehicles.  When your starting or ending point is Bahay Pag-asa, you'll often need to use the "tricycles."  As you can see, a tricycle is a motorcycle with a sidecar.  The streets of Bacolod buzz with these things and you can pack as many people as you want into (and onto) tricycles as long as you don't weigh them down so much that they can't move.  Amazing numbers of small schoolchildren can pile onto one of these but larger American visitors (like us) usually need to call in a second tricycle.
