"Shown here is a jeepney (jeep) which is a common means of transportation here in the Philippines. A short ride (less than 4 km) costs less than a quarter of a dollar. Putting symbols like the Mercedes Benz on the jeep is part of the craft of most jeeps.

"A particularly splendid example of a Philippine passenger jeepney - this is what they look like from the rear.
This was more ornately and splendidly decorated than most, because it was a privately owned jeepney seeing service as a family vehicle - hence the locked door. Public transport jeepneys rarely, if ever have a door like this.
There are no prizes for guessing the owner's interests! " - Palo Gurl

"Extremely cool customised public transport vehicles, re-ceated from US army jeeps left behind in the Philippines after World War II, mostly all privately owned by the driver. Each driver chooses a set route to drive, one that might deliver many passengers, and stops anywhere for pick-ups or delivery. They brighten up their rides and give the cars names to attract potential customers and because they are proud of their Jeepney. " - Max Akkerman
"Their are more jeepneys on the road then regular cars. Which surprised me. I had heard of jeepneys. But many times things like that end up being a tourist ride. Not here these are the major mode of transportation. Each driver adorns his rig with every doo dah known to mankind. And lets not forget the madonna glued to the dash board. I think they should make ones with her hands over her eyes by the looks of the driving." - Tracy Hunter

"Jeepney, a form of public transportation found throughout the Philippines. A relic of WW 2 US jeeps that have been converted to accommodate passengers.
To some, these may be CO-emitting beasts but I these are much like mobile pop art.

"The Good old Jeepney. The essence of a jeepney contains great resemblance to the present and ongoing condition of the Philippines. The Jeepney has been present for ages and decades and centuries, but was it able to catch up with the changes in time? I marvel at these Jeepneys that no matter how old these road warriors are, they still have that pride in them... They would race other Jeepneys at night, they would sound their horn repetitively because they can;t hear them from the boom-boom sound of their own stereos... But at the end of the day, the Jeepney is still the Jeepney... Was there something new about it? Well, maybe... aesthetically... but the essence remains the same, just as the Jeepney was trapped behind time.. it can't move on, no matter how much it tries, no matter what change he does to flare his image... Will this statisism apply to the Philippines and its future generations? Will there ever be development and not just growth?

"Plying long-distance routes, they are larger than the usual provincial jeepneys and sport a seating arrangement like that of buses. Of course they still feature Iloilo jeepneys' streamlined design. This one travels the Iloilo City-San Joaquin-Lawigan route.

"Guess who's loving textures? Das right! I think Im getting the hang of it.
For FF: Filipino-ness, riding the jeepney. Its something I do everyday and i kind of hate it. Jeepney drivers have this thing for playing re-mixes of old love songs or rock songs, totally ridiculous. My ears bleed everytime. Too bad my place is not near enough for me to just walk to work, however, it is too near for me to take a cab. My cheap ass wouldn't spend 40 pesos to go home, except when i get drunk at a nearby drinking place." - Penny and the Pirates
"Jeepneys are the most popular means of public transportation in the Philippines.[1] They were originally made from US military jeeps left over from World War II[2] and are well known for their flamboyant decoration and crowded seating. They have also become a symbol of Philippine culture.
When American troops began to leave the Philippines at the end of World War II, hundreds of surplus jeeps were sold or given to local Filipinos. Locals stripped down the jeeps to accommodate several passengers, added metal roofs for shade, and decorated the vehicles with vibrant colors and bright chrome hood ornaments.
The jeepney rapidly emerged as a popular and creative way to reestablish inexpensive public transportation, which had been virtually destroyed during World War II. Recognizing the widespread use of these vehicles, the Philippine government began to place restrictions on their use. Drivers now must have specialized licenses, regular routes, and reasonably fixed fares. Due to recent fuel price rollbacks, the Metro Manila fixed fare was also reduced from 8.50 pesos to 8.00 pesos for the first 4 kilometers (currently about 10 to fifteen cents American.)Wikipedia

"The jeepney is perhaps the most popular mode of public transport. It's certainly the loudest, aurally AND visually.
At the end of WWII, after the Americans left the Philippines, hundreds of army surplus jeeps were left behind. They were then lavishly decorated and modified to carry more passengers and used as buses.
Jeepney drivers are known for their driving skills. It's amazing how they weave in and out of tight traffic.
According to Wikipedia, "the word jeepney is commonly believed to be a conflation of 'jeep' and 'jitney', or 'jeep' and 'knee', the latter referring to the jeepney's crowded face-to-face seating."" - Raphael Borja
"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
