Heh, I doubt you'd think that ONCE you see the road conditions here. 
You'd want to escape the sidewalk you'd even opt to ride a pig-smell infested transport just to get to some place if one of these "king of the road" vehicles are not around. 
It's a national symbol and the widely used mode of transportation here in phils. Though, Jeepneys are now being replaced buy trucks converted to function as one but not look like one, called jeep. Those surplus trucks from other countries. It's a shame but i prefer the jeepney.
The beauty of the 'real' jeepneys are the eclectic colors they sport. The real ones usually have extravagant decorations both in and outside the vehicle. Some even showcase the different natural scenery in phils. . You'll never see any other kind of vehicle that shouts at your senses like the jeepneys do. 
In one of the episodes of the Amazing Race, if any of you people are familiar with it, one of the roadblock was finishing the decorations a half done jeepney, then drive it to some farm on the mountains.
