Jeepneys are the most popular means of public transportation in the Philippines. They were originally made from US military jeeps left over from World War II and are known for their flamboyant decoration and crowded seating. They have become a ubiquitous symbol of Philippine culture. …

I rode on top from Sagada to Banaue, Philippines. A crazy fun hour descending narrow mountain roads.

GREAT views of the famous mountain rice terraces!

Some of these are 2000-years old.

… Here’s the issue — should you tie yourself on to the roof rack? … Or take your chances jumping to safety just in case the Jeepney goes over the cliff?

I did tie myself on. But was ready at an instant to unclip in an emergency.

What’s the world record for most number of people in a Jeepney? … You don’t want to know. 🙂
