Getting around Bacood

Bacood is situated in the easternmost part of Manila. It is bounded by San Juan River in the East and South; P. Sanchez in the North; and a row of motels in the West.

Jeepneys and pedicabs (also known as padyak) are the usual modes of public transportation. Jeeps plying the Bacood-Stop n' Shop and Bacood-Quiapo routes pass through Bacood, Lubiran and Valenzuela Sts. before heading towards Old Sta. Mesa St. Pedicabs, meanwhile, can take people anywhere in Bacood for as low as 7 pesos, depending on the distance.

For the more adventurous, walking around Bacood is a healthy alternative. The community's perimeter is about 5 kilometers, good enough for a half-hour run.
