The Ubiquitous Jeepney, originally uploaded by hellochris.

"Seats about 18! No aircon, which is a problem in the smoggy crowded streets of Manila. In the province, people will ride on the roof. In the city, not so much. Minumum fare is 7.5 pesos (53 pesos to the USD). Always personalized! The jeepney is based on the world war II era U.S. army jeep -- but with a longer frame. Manufactured in the Philippines, now exported to Kenya and NIGERIA. Jeepneys are ubiquitous, travelling short-run fixed routes throughout the nation." - hellochris
