Anyone have any stories about experiences while riding on a jeepni or any other mode of public transportation in the PI? Personal stories or something you have heard from some one and you don’t mind sharing.

My friend told me a story about this one time his mom was riding a jeepni. They were stuck in traffic and the lady beside her was kind of leaning out the side because as some of you know it can get hot in that thing especially if it’s not moving along. Anyway she noticed the lady had a nice fat wedding ring on. I guess she wasn’t the only one because some guy walking along the side of the jeepni pulled out a pair of pliers and snapped the lady’s finger off along with the ring. I don’t know what happened to the lady after that but I heard the guy just took off.

I am sure there must be all kinds of stories out there. It doesn’t have to be anything crazy like this, maybe you got a funny story to share or something risqué.

It is jeepney

Oh well I don't know how to change it now.

By the way do you got a story or not?

anyway acceptable din yung spelling sa iba.

there are lots of stories of perves trying to touch chics on the sly

Nung HS ako..yung jeep naghihintay ng pasahero na estudyante sa harap ng school..may dumaan na truck, nadali yung side mirror..hinabol nung driver..eh hindi naman kami puedeng bumaba kasi hindi pa binibigay yung sukli la singkwenta pesos na pamasahe namin kaya yung, halos isang oras namin hinintay yung driver...

i like drivers in phils, they're crazy but they're good. like no direct traffic laws are followed but the number of accidents in my point of view are much less compared to use who have strict @$$ traffic laws. i guess it's all adaptation.

Ako naman ang magsasabi "Are you serious"?? Paano mo naman nasabi...

2 You guys should have just took off with the jeepni and pretended to be the jeepni driver for the day, charging people fair and everything.

LOL... We were wearing our uniforms..it would be SO obvious that we're students.. LOL 2

you could have said you were in a field trip

You know what I hear is common out there are people who slowly cut away at your bags and even the pockets of the jeans you are wearing until everything falls out.

yup there's also snatchers who come and run away with your bag or your jewlery and swallow the jewlery to get rid of evidence and get it back later.

And not to mention..holdaps..You know there are people who holdap every people in the Jeepney.

Yeah, and even the air con buses. 2 Yeah about a bus jacking almost everyday on the news.

most of them are taxi related. there are other ones where they took even the poor dudes shoes and pants

Holy cow! including his pants?! I wonder how he looked like after being holdappped :shocked:

levis they love those. and nike and nice sneakers of course

You're not safe while riding on anything in the PI.

So, it is safer to wear FAKE Levis and FAKE Nike shoes....

^cheaper too.

Yea, jeepney drivers are good pero pag humaharurot na sila sa daan as if they dont care for their passengers life... nakakainis. Pahirap rin sa taong-bayan ang ginagawa nilang patuloy na paghingi ng pagtaas ng pamasahe... samantalang 'pag nagkakaroon ng oil price rollback, wala naman rollback sa pamasahe.

And let us accept the fact that most of the jeepney drivers really dont follow traffic rules which is the main cause of traffic jam.

Agree ako 100% d'yan!

Ok, let's rally against jeepney drivers... 2 2


There was a time when i rode a jeepney... my necklace was snatched and i never knew that the guy was a snatcher coz he was dressed up decently... thats was 10 in the evening.

did you travel alone joonson?

Yeah, I have heard about those guys. They dress up all nice but actually are thieves. You have to watch out for everyone.

I rode on an jeepney before, it can get pretty crowded in there though.

we usually get wet inside the jeep during rainy season

^they have those tarps that go down. at least most of them do. i love being with my dad in his tricycle route when it was raining

Yes, But still sometimes we get wet

Depends on the kind of Jeepney..kapag mukhang panahon pa ng kopong-kopong..mababasa ka talaga

Jeepneys drive so fast, I get scared as hell when I was a young kid!

We called it hataw or patukan meaning fast drivers, jeepneys with loud speakers

Anyone here who has the yellow book og Bob Ong..nandun yung iba't-ibang klase ng drivers. Read it nalang,basta, it's funny.

No, I do not have.

my aunt said once in manila as a jeepney was driving off somebody tried to rob her with a barbeque stick lol now thats as ghetto it gets.

^HAHA...

anyone fall off a jeepney? my mom said she fell off when she was about 10... it drove off when she was getting on

2 That is crazy.

The jeepney drivers don’t scare me much it’s the bus drivers that do. The road is so narrow in the province and the bus is so huge but they still take off as if they are driving some kind of sports compact.

Yes of course. Unless you want to be my bodyguard

That happened maybe six years ago... i was working in Valenzuela and living in Manila... and i was color coding then, that's why i had to commute.

Be scared of truck drivers, too

When I was still in HS I wasn't used to commuting. I don't know how to ride the jeepney because I only rode in trikes and taxis.

There was this one time when I went malling with a gf and when it was already time for me to alight, I bid the manong driver good bye after saying para 2 Ridiculous. Embarassing. 2

First time mo? Joke... I couldn't image you saying "goodbye" to the driver. LOL

OO! Actually it was my first time without a chaperon so it was hard/kind/weird for me.

Diyahe pa kasi sabi ko "Ma, para po" tapos sabi ko "Sige, bye bye". Like you know how we say good bye to our busmates? Ganun. 2

You must have felt guilty na natatawa na naiinis na parang gusto mong tumakbo. Am I right? Usually, ganun ang feeling kapag may nagawa tayong nakakatawa na nakakahiya.

There is nothing wrong with that?

sure why not jk

working in valenzuela where? didn't you say you live in valenzuela in dalandanan?

Hindi ba magulo sa bandang CAMANAVA area?

I was working in a pertrochemical company then. And I transferred here four years back... but im a Manilena, been borne and lived there for more than 22 years. Actually, i still stay there once in a while.

How old are you? i thought you're teh same age as me? so you live alone in valenzuela and work there? but you use to live sa maynila proper? saan sa valenzuela do you work?

^^ Oh, i think im old enough to be your sister... 26. Before, I was living somewhere in Manila with my siblings but we transferred here with my parents last 2000. I was working in the industrial site here in Valenzuela... thats in Paso de Blas... that was then... coz now, i have my own business.
