Jeepney: the undisputed Filipino king of the road

Jeepney: the undisputed Filipino king of the road

Jeepneys are synonymous with the Philippines. They are remnants of WWII Willy's that are specially decorated by their owners. No two jeepneys are alike. They are the main form of transportation in the Philippines and they are EVERYWHERE. They would be the equivalent of the VW buses that the Hippies used back in the days. Some are heavily decorated while this one is simple and elegant (in its own way). A jeepney ride will cost you between 10-20 PHP (less than $.50).
