Transport
Marag relies on Luna's local transport system. Tricycles serve the barangay-level routes; jeepneys and multicabs link residents to Luna's commercial district, public schools, and government offices. Buyers who commute daily to an employment center outside Luna should evaluate the nearest bus or P2P terminal for their specific route.
