When you’re in the Paradise Philippines, you’ll surely notice this unique type of transportation, with an aluminum body, not a bus nor a van but carries a lot of people. This is what we call Jeepney, the most popular means of transportation in the country.
The jeepney originated from the US military jeeps that were left by the Americans to local Filipinos after the World War II. The original military jeeps were stripped down to accomodate more passengers, hoods were added for sun and rain protections and decorated them a little to look more attractive.
