Is Jeepney still something to be proud of?

[aceshark]

To stop full strings...

hila mo, hinto ko.

ok naman ang jeep a. nasa driver lang talaga yan. kapag sumasakay nga ako sa espana, mas masarap pa sumakay ng jeep kasi kung FX, lalo na yung box na tamaraw, sobrang init na. agawan na sa aircon vent. at least yung jeep, laki ng bintana. kung polusyon ang usapan, ganun na din yun, kasi pagbaba mo ng sasakyan, FX or jeep, pawis pa rin yun. mas fresh ka nga lang kung sa fx na malamig ang aircon ka bababa.

Nagtataka naman ako, bakit nari-rehistro pa yung mga kakarag-karag na jeep. Dapat tinatanggihan na mga ito ng LTO. Marami akong nakikita na bumibiyahe pa, pero halos hihiwalay na yung katawan, pero nabiyahe pa. Pero i-check mo yung LTO sticker niya, 2006 pa.

bro, paalala lang... LTO yan... sangay yan ng napakagaling natin na gobyerno.

Trambia na lang para they stay in one lane all day long. and I am for the complete phase out of jeepneys and jeepney drivers.

Jeepney is not our National Pride since it's not really part of our culture. It simply evolved because of the need for PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. If we didn't had any jeepneys, puro BUS ang laman ng kalsada natin.

Sa America, one drawback when you are living in the suburbs is the lack of public transportation. A car is a necessity. Dahil sa hirap ng buhay sa Pilipinas at makipot pa ang mga kalsada, requiring everyone to buy a car is not even practical. That's why the jeepney has survived.

Necessity is the mother of the jeepney.

Aesthetically, I think old Jeepneys looked much better than the new ones, there were still a few of them running around in the early 90's.

PS: the black car in the background appears to be a '51 Buick Roadmaster.


PS: the car on the left is a 1963 Plymouth Valiant the van on the right side of the photo is an early 70's VW Type2 Kombi aka "Bus".

I think these are the chasis that was use after WWII. May konting extension lang. yan yung orig.

Todays "10" seater jeeps are made from raw material talaga and uses the design of light truck

on the corporate side of jeepney manufacturing

Sarao almost or at least go into bankruptcy because almost all employee in the company wants to have their own jeepney manufaturing shop.

Even in the business side hindi naging maganda ang mentality.

Most of them go into jeepney making business but did not SUCK ceed

Hay. I wish we had a leader strong enough to effect the modernization of our public transport system. The MRT/LRT is a start. We need strategically-located terminals or drop-offs so that hindi magiging problema ang pag-lalakad papunta sa sakayan. Maybe put more underground walkways a'la Makati-Ayala. Tapos, you can just use the Hi-Ace Commuter type vehicles which are safer and more comfortable for the riding public. This is not necessarily bad for those who will no longer be plying their jeeps. They can form their own transport cooperatives so that they can field modern vehicles. Hindi naman talaga lahat pwedeng pumasok sa pamamamsada.

Noong late 70's dito sa Pasig/Rizal route pag "Patok"
ang jeepney madaling mapuno lalo na sa estudyante. Ang modelo ng MelFord at Fairlane ang sikat noon bukod sa maporma at malinis pati sa stereo ay pagandahan din sila, hindi pa ma traffic kaya natutuwa pa kami pag nag ba bunking ang driver. Pero ngayon halos karamihan ay bulok na ang pumapasada.
