It's just crazy that people can hop on one anywhere they like. The other thing is to make it easier for passengers to know whether they're on the right bus/jeep is to simply give them numbers. So even a tourist can conveniently get around if all they need to get from one place to another is to take Jeepney Number 3 or 5, or Bus Number 10 or 13. And make sure the drivers stick to the routes!<br /><br /><br />So what are you doing this weekend?<br /><br />Thanks for visiting <a href="http://www.norwichdailyphoto.com/" rel="nofollow">Norwich Daily Photo</a> and leaving your comment.

We traveled to the starting point in trucks, open at the back, with four rows of benches like in your jeepney. <br />But there was nothing to hold on to. :)<br />We would be jolted up and down and sideways. <br />I kind of miss that "togetherness" that was created in the group of strangers.Dinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03461925401870320466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6999552601430694736.post-38289274925101422142010-08-07T13:47:39.823+08:002010-08-07T13:47:39.823+08:00HANG ON!, indeed!
