The kalesa is one of several examples of horse-drawn public conveyances from the early days of Manila. The kalesa had two variants, the carromata and the karitela. The carromata had seats facing forward which can carry one to two passengers. The karitela had seats on the side facing each other and can carry up to six persons. Today, Kalesas can only be found as tourist vehicles in Intramuros and Luneta, with a handful in Santa Cruz that can be hired as public transportation.
