Jeepneys

When the American troops left the Philippines at the end of WWII , there were many surplus jeeps that were given to Filipinos who then in turned stripped them down and customized the jeeps to accommodate more passengers, which added metal roofs for shade, and they decorated the vehicles with vibrant colors and a bright chrome like hood ornaments.

Jeepneys rapidly became a popular and creative way to re-establish inexpensive public transport, that had been destroyed during WWII. In recognition of this widespread use of these vehicles, the government is now regulating their use. The Jeepney drivers now must have specialized licenses, regular routes, and reasonably fixed fares.
