jeepneys
Manila's colorful transports
Jeepneys are colorful public transportation vehicles in the Philippines, originally converted from surplus American military jeeps left after World War II.
They follow fixed routes and pick up passengers along the way, functioning like small buses.
Jeepneys are known for their elaborate decorations—chrome ornaments, painted scenes, religious icons, and personalized names: We took a jeepney from Manila to Makati.
