Jeepneys - Philippines Travel Buses


The moment you step out of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport grounds, you will most likely see a bunch of colourfully decorated transportation units with people stacked like a can of sardines inside while some hang tightly at the back part. Do not be surprised and do not fear for the lives of the people hanging at the back – it is normal. Those are the famous jeepneys of the Philippines. Unlike cabs and buses, you will find jeepneys anywhere you go in the country – in the busy cities, small quiet towns, and in the far-away provinces. These public transportation units can basically take you anywhere at a very cheap price, starting at Php 7.50 or $0.17!
