I was in Manila two years ago. I loved them! But I was completely confused about which one to get on and when to get off. Luckily my Filipina girl friend was with me the whole time.
Great video! I barely remember how to ride them. I was really good at it when I was young (before going to the US). I want to ride them again, but I'll be needing a guide. The drivers are amazing on how they calculate the bayad and sukli. Can't wait to visit the PH again. Thanks very much for this .
Love the video, my wife is Filipino, we go there sometimes to visit family in Caloocan City n Manila, I love Jeepneys, I’m trying to buy a old Jeep to convert it into a Jeepney and drive it around the U.S., The Philippines is an amazing place with the most friendliest nicest people in the world, I always get a bit depressed whenever I leave there to go home and can’t wait to go back, I subbed, looking forward to see your other videos, keep up the good work✌️🇵🇭
Thanks for the video Eric. I am planning to visit the Philippines in December and just started to educate myself on....everything. Lol. I am thinking about going to Palawan for my first trip. Next up is looking at the motorcycle and sidecar jobbies. Lol.
I would love to use these as my transport but not knowing where the stop on or off is a little problematic as a tourist. There are route maps out there at all?
If the driver is at the front, when you get on how to tell driver your destination? Do you yell, or tell other passenger (the onewho takes your money)?
Can ask the driver first before getting on the jeep :) Ask them from the driver front passenger side so you don't have to be shouting before you get in, from the back. They can tell you right away if they'll pass by.
I'm still confused on how to use them. So what is the average fair for the jeepney? And how do I know that the Jeepney I am using is going to the location I am going to? Is there a route map?
@@karlopasaoa7409 there is one route but the areas that route will pass by will be indicated in the side of the vehicle. You can tell the Driver "para po" to stop where you want to land (but some drivers will only let you get off the jeep in areas that are safe to unload by) your seating arrangement doesn't matter if and when you want to be the first to get off or the last.
@@karlopasaoa7409 basically no and yes. You need to actually know the place where you want to stop so I suggest using google maps just to know your general location. You can't tell the driver where to go, consider them like a train with no tracks, they follow one route that's it. And when you want to stop somewhere, just say "para", and they will drop you off on a "relatively" safe point immediately.
I have social anxiety, so i don't talk to people a lot.. i wanna get in a jeepney so bad but I'm scared to talk to people, my stupid self keeps asking these stupid questions, "how do i know how much it is? do they tell it to me?" "how do i tell them that it's time for me to get off?" (I know that you have to make noises (?) with the coins on the metal thing on top, but where is the metal thing?😭)
Bobo ka talaga. Ginawa nga tong video na to para sa mga foreigner para maintindihan nila. Useless lang to kung magtagalog sya e marunong na mag jeep mga pinoy.

I had no idea how they worked, this is such a good video! Thank you.
Glad it helped! Hope you try to ride it one day!

Thanks brother for watching, glad it helped! There's a lot more to see

Exactly, thats my question as well. Still confusing to use it.

Unfortunately not, if there are they're usually outdated. Really need to ask the driver
proud to be a filipino!!
sino pinoy dito?

While giving your payment you yell where you're getting off
@@EricMartinezPH saraming salamat
Okay- the main thing im confuse is the locations. Like how do i know they can drop me by the place i want?

Thanks!
No problem!
how much can a jeepne business generate USD yearly?
I havent been back home in philippines for more than 20 years next year when i go home visit first thing i will do is ride a jeepney
I'm still confused on how to use them. So what is the average fair for the jeepney? And how do I know that the Jeepney I am using is going to the location I am going to? Is there a route map?
There is no route map-that's the scary part-the only thing you can use to know where your going is to know the names of the district you're going to
@@jawn5661 so do you need to tell them where to go or is there only one route? And if so what if you are in the very back what do you do?
@@karlopasaoa7409 there is one route but the areas that route will pass by will be indicated in the side of the vehicle.

Ako lang ata yung Pilipino na hindi marunong mag commute at gumamit ng jeep
Seryoso? Baka di ka nagcocommute dati bro numg mas bata ka pa?

Bobo ka talaga. Ginawa nga tong video na to para sa mga foreigner para maintindihan nila. Useless lang to kung magtagalog sya e marunong na mag jeep mga pinoy.
