      Don't forget running red lights, cutting across 4 lanes of traffic within 50 feet to pickup and drop off passengers and adding to the congestion while spewing black smoke out the back. LOL!

    I was a jeepney driver for some years before I came here to the States, James. Did the Monumento-Baclaran route via Avenida back when they were still putting up the MRT, and traffic was insane, and before that the Monumento Baclaran (night time) via EDSA, then the UP-Farmers' route, too. Pawis steering was the normal mode, then, I don't know about now.. That steering wheel design you encountered was not the mode then, maybe whoever designed that at Milwaukee motors was thinking of how jeepney drivers would normally seat with one part of the butt up from the seat. Tabingi ang upo, like you said about the wheel....askew or sideways...that is because when you're driving under that heat, in that traffic, on an often hard seat cushioned only by a pillow you brought which had become thinned by constant use, and you seat with the butt flat on the seat, before you make your first "round trip", your butt will be hurting like hell. So what we do is seat sideways or almost sideways.
    Now I've been here in the States 20-some years, so I hope MOST jeepneys are as comfy and sharp as the one you drove, and who knows, just for the heck of it, I might go back behind the wheel..

      Jeepneys are on the process of phasing out. They will be replac by E-jeepneys and euro 4 + diesel jeepneys. In my city, jeepneys and multicabs are already retired. Replaced by Tojo electric jeepney or bus. Gonna miss our old jeepneys.

      Not to mention the long hours of driving. I remember waking up my cab driver when he fell asleep while waiting for the traffic light. And also how dangerous their driving skills are. I had to close my eyes most of the time because they drive so close to each other. By the way, I don't think that they have car insurance either.

    I really wanna have a jeepney like this to drive around in Canada. Would be very useful in group trips, or even during camping. You can have 3 beds right off the bat. Maybe just some customization to bring the heaters, sliding windows and doors - due to winters. Though, I really like this one since it has a bar!

      @alma09876 Před 3 lety

      The jeepney was born out of necessity only after ww2, it wasn't intended for long term solution but because of lacking in innovation by original junks receiver (Sarao Motors), this vehicle has never improved the important road safety features and had never developed the mechanical design since after ww2. What they have upgraded are the decorations for aesthetic looks only. Even the diesel engines are still second hand surplus imported from Japan. While in Europe, they are now replacing the old buses powered by diesel and petrol engines, and continuing the development of buses driven by electric motor, hydrogen and derived from poo gas engines.
      The jeepney was derived only from former "AMERICAN JUNKS", so shouldn't be consider an iconic vehicle. Just like the necessity needs after ww2, it is necessity now to adopt the modern HIGH CAPACITY electric and low emission engine driven buses for public transportation solution.
