A Wild Ride

This, my friends, is a jeepney. It's the most common form of public transportation in the Philippines. It was originally made from US military jeeps that were left from WWII and are known for it's wild decorations and packed seating.

The seating on the jeepney is awfully crowded. In fact, if an individual can not fit into one seat, and must take up part of another, they are charged for both seats. This can make for a rather embarrassing moment, as some of my relatives have told me.

Some people even jump onto the moving vehicle, and hang on to the back.

As you can see, this is not your typical transportation service!
