There's little to be proud of the Jeepney. They are inefficient, unsafe and a symbol of the state of this country. Usually driven by equally undisciplined drivers which causes a lot of accidents and traffic. We hope that the jeepney catch up with the times and evolve into something better.

i was just thinking about the jeepney and "voila" - here comes a topic about it. good!

sir walter is very correct w/ his comment. i also believe that the jeep needs to evolve in something better...alot better. it used to be a symbol of filipino ingenuity...but no longer. and no longer should we let it degress! c'mon, we've had it since after WWII and we're now in the 21st century..and it still runs like it's from the 1940's!!

the government should come up w/ a big budget and have our genius fellowmen (like inventors, innovators, engineers, etc) to come up w/ a whole new pinoy jeep. something that we can be proud of again...hoy gising, mga nasa gobyerno!

I agree. We're so lagging behind, given the purported ingenuity and intelligence of Filipinos.

I hate jeepneys! Negged

It is a bane of our streets....and yes nothing to be proud of:
-colorful and lavish exterior wala naman substance (what's the point of too many lights, excess horns, etc.; dati kasi mga kabayo nakapatong sa hood as if added "horsepowers")
-has low ceiling high floor interior.
-just one ingress-egress point.
-no safety features whatsoever
-bench seats

Despite the "facelifts" still the same vehicle all these years. And yes, it epitomizes us as a nation ---vibrant outside, "bulok" inside.

Di kaya kulang pa sa dekorasyon ang jeepney na yan > e palagasy ko karamihan ng pera ng nag pagawa niyan sa dekorasyon Lumaki ang gastos heheheheh:twister3::gun::laughbounce::crash:

[JJCarEnthusiast]

but operating a bus as major public transport also means more maintenance equals more fare. i guess in middle to low income families, that's the main point of jeepneys. low fare for the masses. though maraming nagrereklamo sa mataas na fare ng jeepneys, noon e 4 petot lang. ehehe..'

maybe it is possible to change the LTO and/or LTFRB standards in jeepney assembling. maybe those seatbelts, proper headlights, rollcage ( for safety) and other safety features SHOULD come standard. present jeeps must be upgraded to meet the new standards. then i guess that will be the benefit of dictatorial government, para walang makapalag na tao sa utos ng gobyerno as long as it is rightful (depende sa leader ha) i also suggest to make it cab-forward design. to make the whole body shorter while keeping a good (or more) number of passengers can be accommodated at the same time.

Or we can phase out jeepneys entirely in the Metro and install tram systems instead!

Hangang smoke belching pala gov natin saka un sobrang karag-karag. Dun pa nga lang dami pa rin nakakalusot, eh ganitong restriction pa.

the philippine jeepney... needs to be scrapped!

wala bang poll dito?

[Benji_DCP]

To come to think of it, the Jeepneys or its drivers are not the problem. It is this country's planning and implementation of a sound public transport system that sucks.

^Yes. If we had public trams, buses operated by the government, and even subways, we'd probably be breathing a lot deeper than we do today.

Just like hindi na natin kayang hukayin pa mga kalye natin to improve sewerage system, too late na rin para pa mag install ng mga ganito.

Perhaps build a new city from scratch and build it the proper way with proper planning good for 50+ years.

[SIZE=3]Imposible na iyan, kulang sa budget nanaman. And I doubt it if they will have the budget I doubt it if they can perfect it, eh kung yung mga daan pa nga lang, konting hukay tas pag binalik hindi na diretso. [/SIZE]
