​Jeepneys are popular in the Philippines

Jeepneys are the most popular means of public transportation in the Philippines. They are known for their crowded seating and kitsch decorations, which have become a ubiquitous symbol of Philippine culture and art. Jeepneys were originally made from U.S. military jeeps left over from World War II. But under a government modernization program, vehicles of this type that are 15 years or older will be taken off the streets by 2020 and replaced with a more environmentally friendly version.
