Grab (the regional ride-hailing app) is the most reliable way to get around Parañaque. Fares are fixed at booking, drivers are tracked, and the app works throughout Metro Manila. Download it before you arrive — it will save you time and money compared to negotiating with unmarked taxis.
Jeepneys are the original public transport and still the cheapest option. Routes run along the main roads — EDSA, Dr. Santos Avenue, Aguirre Avenue in BF Homes. They are slow in traffic but an authentic slice of Manila life; fares are a few pesos for most hops. The modernised e-jeepneys running on the Coastal Road and Ninoy Aquino Avenue are slightly more comfortable.
Tricycles (motorcycles with sidecars) fill the gaps between jeepney routes, connecting barangays that the larger vehicles don't reach. Negotiate the fare before you get in; a short hop should cost ₱20–40.
UV Express vans (Utility Vehicles) run fixed point-to-point routes, often faster than jeepneys because they use the expressways. Look for departure points near PITX or along major road junctions.
Driving in Parañaque is feasible but frustrating. The Coastal Road and Ninoy Aquino Avenue move well by Manila standards, but the streets around Baclaran and the Entertainment City are clogged for most of the day. Parking at the casino resorts is free and plentiful.
Walking is only practical within specific districts — BF Homes has pavements and is safe on foot; the area around the airport terminals is not.
