Manila's Famous Jeepney Spotted!

On our first day in Manila, we spotted so many Jeepney's driving around. Captured this one speeding through the intersection. I love how it has the same colours as the Philippines flag!

Driving culture in Manila is unreal. Everyone knows the dimensions of their vehicles down to the millimetre as they weave around one another. Sitting in the front seat was a bit terrifying for this country boy from Canada.

The protesters, representing various transport groups, had been picketing in front of L’Fisher Hotel on Lacson Street, demanding the reinstatement of their #JeepneyFranchises, which were revoked due to the government’s public transport modernization program. #PUVMP #Philippines #ElectricVehicles

Kuhang-kuha ng mga #ToyJeep na ito ang vibe at disenyo ng mga pampasaherong #jeepney. Nasa 120 na toy jeep na ang nabuo ng call center agent na si Bayan Patroller Ryan Baliwas.

@linglingo Yes, I do think blaming it all on #capitalism is oversimplistic as well, and unfortunately too many #anarchists are falling for this leftist trap, even the anti-left / post-left ones.

This can be seen for example in one of our homeland's decades-long problem: the constant delays of
#jeepney modernization. It can be easy to blame foreign capitalists, deregulated oil prices, and lack of support from the government. Sure they are factors, but all of them miss the point. Some leftists do see the main cause: jeepney operators and drivers cannot afford the newer compliant models of modern jeeps / minibuses. But for ideological reasons they cannot see the real solution which is to stop imposing artificially low maximum fare prices jeepneys can charge. And no, simply making the LTFRB raise the fare will not resolve this, as long as oil prices remain deregulated. The real solution is to let jeepneys charge however they want, i.e. a free market (as long as they let passengers clearly know how much their set fare is ofc, that should be the only "regulation" as well as an SRP that is truly just a "suggestion" where passengers are entitled to pay if the jeepney doesn't put up its own prices). If that means commuters will have to pay more, so be it, but I don't see any other good enough solution here where jeepney drivers aren't essentially slaves who cannot invest into better jeepneys and will forever be pitted against commuters who simply (and rightfully) want a better commuting experience. And no, government subsidies aren't enough (and they're doing it already anyway) nor are they sustainable (we have so many other shit to fund). But leftists don't want this because they want to keep consumer goods and services low by any means, even if it doesn't make any logical sense market-wise. Consumers cannot just dictate through force what the prices should be; it should be decided together with the sellers, and on equal footing (which the LTFRB clearly doesn't do). It's only through that way that we can get fair prices for all.

It really is a great injustice when oil barons get to charge all of us whatever they want while public transport workers have to put up with pennies everyday. And you don't have to muddle the waters with buzzwords like "capitalism" to see that.

Jeepneys are a popular mode of transport in The Philippines, and last year I profiled the decorative work that adorns them. This includes a wonderful documentary film by Esy Casey.

Today I found this video about a sign painter that produces the destination and other functional/directional signage for the Jeepneys. It shows the painter at work, including his tools, materials, and techniques.
