Jeepney is one of the most convenient and popular transportation here in the Phils.
For less than a dollar, it can take you from north to south.
Although originally introduced by the Americans back in wwII.
This mode of transporation has been symbolic and is part of our everyday culture.
This gaudy looking jeep is a sample of what it looks like.It looks new and well-polished bec. i suppose this is just a display to show tourist or locals who passed by this area.
*But note for the faint hearted:If you happen to ride on one of our local jeeps... prepare for a ride of a lifetime! ^-^
Jeepney drivers here tend to drive so fast like you're chasing up and away to infinity and beyond.,but surely an experience not to be missed.

Funny looking vehicle. I can´t see it being that fast but I have to believe you!
