Jeepneys

A different twist to your public transportation. The Jeepney first came to existence after world war two with surplus military Jeeps. While there are a few other varieties, they mostly resemble what you see. Each one is decorated by the driver/owner.

It costs 7 pesos for a short ride(in town) and 19 pesos for a long ride (between towns), so they are the cheapest ticket in town. They are loud and the drivers like to sardine as many people as they can into the back.

These things are everywhere and it was fun to use them a couple of times; however, I am unsure I would like to ride to work in them everyday . . .
