To travel around the world but keep me close to 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 They were originally made from US military jeeps left over from World War II and are known for their flamboyant decoration and crowded seating.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.
