At peak times, it can take up to two hours; at best, it will take 30 minutes. It is recommended to only take a taxi with a Department of Tourism (DOT) accreditation. Flagging a taxi on the road outside the airport is notoriously expensive and often dangerous. To avoid being hassled, book a taxi at one of the taxi desks before leaving the airport. Complimentary hotel cars can be arranged at the airport's hotel reservations desks. Limousine: Limousine companies have desks in the Arrivals area, with rates pre-approved by the Airport Authority. Bus: An airport bus runs to Metro Manila; a cheap and frequent Metrobus also operates to Metro Manila. Jeepney: Privately owned jeepneys run to/from Baclaran where there is a metrorail terminal along Quirino Avenue to complete the journey to the city.
