Jeepneys have existed for more than six decades. They are the Philippines’ most popular form of public transportation. They got their start as Willys Jeeps left behind when American GIs departed the Philippines at the end of World War II. Filipinos then began recycling them as buses with bodies made from galvanized or stainless steel, fabric covers instead of side windows, and longitudinally mounted benches with room for 20 (or more) passengers.
​
Always colorful and adorned with pious symbols, they serve specific routes all over the country, as seen in our children’s book.
