About This Item

King of the Road

Jeepneys are the most popular means of public transportation in the Philippines. They were originally made from US military jeeps left over from World War II and are known for their flamboyant decoration and crowded seating. They have become a ubiquitous symbol of Philippine culture. The word jeepney is a portmanteau of "jeep" and "Jitney".

Every Jeepney carries a touch of artistry and ingenuity as well-detailed artworks are elaborately displayed on the shining chrome bodies and even in to the vehicle's interior. No jeep is exactly similar to others in terms of appearance. Payment system while inside the jeepney is on an honesty basis, every driver just hope that passengers will pay sufficient amount of fare required for a certained distance traveled.

Today, with its inumerable population which is mostly concentrated in the metropolis, no wonder why it has been tagged as country's King of the Road.

Picked up on my way to the Mothman Geotrail launch! I stopped for this cache for two reasons a) I needed this new county for my 88 County Ohio Challenge b)I needed this rest stop for my Ohio Swirly Challenge. Gonna keep it moving and grooving.
