So you have a tough life? Full of inconveniences? Maybe. There are so many here that I'd surely go mad going through the BS of living here as a native.
This is from a trip into Manila the other day.
Several jeepneys passed with people hanging out of them. It seems that your choices are limited in heavy traffic with the jeepneys. You can either wait for another when one is full or you can hang out of the back.
Maybe another will be coming, maybe not. You take your chances.
These two guys are standing on the street while the traffic is backed up in Manila. If the driver is a real ass, this could be a problem when things get moving again.
There is no discount for not having a seat and hanging out the back either.
