What is a Jeepney?
A Jeepney is a very popular means of transport in the Philippines (read my post on the Philippines).
Basically it is long Jeep adapted to be used as public transport.
Their origin comes from even when the Philippines was a US colony.
Were in fact Americans to import the jeep in the Philippines.
Then the war ended and once gone, the Filipinos, who are a people very smart and resourceful, have reinvented a means of public transport from a simple jeep.
As you can see from this last picture, the jeepney in them are very basic, but then travel there over costs very little, with just a few cents you make kilometers.
Of course it can happen to travel a little 'crowded together and certainly the loud music that often put may not help, but it is definitely an experience not to be missed if you visit the Philippines.
