Jeepneys of the Philippines

http://www.exoticjourneys.eu Jeepneys, the kings of Filipino roads, are main mode of transportation in the Philippines. Brightly painted jeepneys ply the streets of Manila and other big cities as well as dirt-roads leading to the most remote villages in the Philippines. Jeepneys are indeed the automotive icons of the Philippines.

jeeps are cool but they block the roads cause so much traffic, i live in Philippines lol

[exoticjourneys]

hehe amy, it's true that they block the roads and all but can you imagine what would happen if each passenger in a jeep would have had their own car? i think road traffic in the philippines would have come to a standstill lol

[amyOfEgypt]

u hava point mate but still bugs me off, and the smoke woooh!

anyways filipinos are nice, food is great! boracay and all other beach islands rocks! hehe

[exoticjourneys]

totally agree with you - the pollution in the cities is very bad but the nice people somehow make you forget about it and yeah, boracay is just another name for paradise!

Oh yes i totally agree, with you on that one, and yes i do realise that Filipinos Jeepney/Tricycle and so on an so forth havent been earning much they deserve a pay rise or something and they should also install FREE Filters on the exhaust of the Jeepneys as well, will help reduce pollution!!!

@dantheman7100 - yes, we are very thank full we have transportations here in the Philippines! you must be talking about long distance traveling, that you have to wait that long!!.. you probably live outside the city??? but yah I only want my country to improve.. Jeepney drivers earn less, If you didn't realise it yet!... plus maintenance and gas taxes..

@plus24seven If you thought you had it bad in the Philippines thing again, im a Filipino/Australian and you guys should be very thank ful that you guys have the Jeepney, here in Australia you can only get around by bus, train and tram or taxi, and you have wait for like 15mins and then on Sundays and Saturdays its an hours wait, id prefer if we had the Jeepney here, just imagine it not having to wait for the darn bus and missing it when you get to the bus stop. I LOVE JEEPNEYS!!!

[plus24seven]

there is nothing great about using Jeepeney as our public transportation,

why can't we used buses instead? like in most countries..

instead of para para" why can;t we just wait 8 min. in the bus stop

there should be a public transportation lane as well para derit-deritsu and takbo ng mga public vehicles .. hay nngarap na naman ako!. :P

In my opinion, i think the jeepney is a clear symbolism of the philippines' refusal for change and progress. It does not even have brake lights or signal lights. I don't really mind if the jeepney still looks the same as long as they modernize it's technology or make it more safety conscious at least.
