Paint Your (P)RIDE : The Philippine Jeepney


The most common form of public transportation throughout the many islands of the Philippines is the “Jeepney”. The jeepneys offer one of the cheapest ways of getting somewhere. Usually, they don’t have air-conditioning and have only open windows as source of ventilation. Most of the time the jeepneys are constantly-packed with many passengers.

They seldom have a special place to stop meaning they can stop everywhere and anywhere. Though I'm not saying its admirable - its somewhat arguable if its a positive or negative because unlike buses who have designated loading and unloading zones, jeepneys are somehow the "king of the road".
