Jeepneys are an ubiquitous and cheap means of public transportation in the Philippines. They were originally made from surplus U.S. military jeeps left in the Philippines at the end of WW II. They have long been an icon of Philippine culture and art. They operate on regulated fixed routes and charge regulated fixed ridership fees, depending upon distance. They will pickup and drop off passengers just about anywhere. This photo was taken in 1978 in front of the Harrison Shopping Mall in Manila (for those of you familiar with Manila).
The Philippine Jeepney: "Undisputed King of the Road". It symbolizes the Filipino creativtiy, innovativeness and ingenuity.
Everyday I ride a jeepney and I'm proud to be PINOY! =P
