The jeepney is commonly jeep, back from the days of the Second World War. The US troops liberated the Philippines and left a lot of materials, of which a lot of army-jeeps.
These were then put to good use as the jeeps were transformed gradualy over time as jeepneys we now know today.
There are brightly coloured versions and "pimped" styles, although rare. Mostly the jeepneys are loud, stinky and rusty. Hardly any floor to stand or a decent place to sit down.
Overcrowding is another problem, because it's a big bussiness to get as many people on board to get your wages. It is very crampy in the belly of the jeepney-beast.
I admire the people who go about with this way of transportation, day by day.
