Jeepney

It's not hard to get a picture of a Jeepney around here. They are as common as taxi cabs in Manhattan. There are certain parts of the city that they are not allowed to drive in which really helps decrease the traffic. Each can pack about 20-25 people inside and sometimes one or two people standing off the rear bumper. During the morning hours you can see long trains of Jeepneys taking people to work. They're fun to look at because a lot of them are personally decorated with different colors and messages on the outside. Kinda like graffiti on wheels. Many of them with elaborate grills in the front (i.e. Mercedes emblems). Don't think I'll ever ride one but will definitely post about it if I do.
