Shopping tour
I first posted a photo of this big, colorful, airconditioned jeepney in December 2008. I've seen it several times since then but only late at night, parked at the end of its tours in Harbour Square. I finally saw it in use at Bonifacio High Street. Apparently, the hop-on-hop-off route of Jeepney Tours includes many of the major shopping and dining centers of Metro Manila.

Must be fun to tour the city in it!
I remember the jeepney from your other post. It's so very cool!
Yes, they are rather colorful. I remember these jeepnees while I was visiting your Country many years ago. The ones that I remember we not as big. Much smaller, but still very colorful. Don't remember taking a ride in one, but I do recall seeing quite a few running up and down the streets.
Since I have never seen these "jeepnees" before, I first thought that they were so much different than what I was used to. Being in a strange Country, I saw many different things. It's part of what opened my eye's to the world. They were not air-conditioned, that I knew of back then.
Thanks for the memories, Hilda

This makes me happy and the Beatles' Yellow Submarine keeps playing in my head : )
A whimsical way to tour the town!
Looks like a great shopmobile.
I don't think you have to worry about losing you ride in the parking lot.
Looks like a fun way for a non-local person to get around to the best shopping spots. Love the colorful paint!
I guess that shopping bus draws a lot of attention everywhere! Wow!
I can picture the beatles coming out of it. No nevermind that was a submarine. :)
AC jeepney? Now that's progress in the right direction.
I just love to read the word jeepney....and say it out loud. Funny!
HI HIlda, thanks for seeing me!
Love this model also, but I prefer the typical philippine jeepney, Yun talaga and pinoy jeep!
See you again.
Looks like "The Magic bus."
Ahhh jeepneys..reminded me of my college days. I used to ride the jeepneys to and from UERM.
During my vacation ( last July), i have seen an airconditioned jeepney but never got the chance to ride. Sigh*
By the way,I replied to your question in my post.
Manila's finest jeepney and the quintessential limo of the Philippines.
Il est superbe ce bus, on se croirait dans une vieille serie de la television
Easy to spot! looks FUN, and I would love to be a passenger. !!:-)
Not a bad idea and an eye catching one: I'd like to take a ride!
