Jeepney
The Jeepney is the ultimate Philippine form of transportation. It is a
national icon and one of the aspects of life that remain constant across
this diverse, several-thousand-island archipelago. The jeepney is a sort
of cross between a minibus and a share taxi. They were traditionally
jury-rigged from jeeps and other vehicles that were left behind by the
US military after WW II. Jeepneys are often times decked out with
wild decals and graphics as diverse as cartoon characters to hilarious
slogans to religious motifs. Jeepneys are a fun and necessary
experience for the traveler, except, that is, when you’ve got on your
big backpack. The ceilings are quite low which can make it hard to get
in and out.
