大砲，有朋自遠方來

提到另外一種交通工具，是菲律賓使用率最高的吉普尼(Jeepney)。
形式等同於公車，但大小只是一般的小貨車。司機會漆成喜歡的外觀，路線也會畫在車身。
普遍使用的原因就是『便宜』，一趟計程車50菲幣的距離，吉普尼只要8菲幣。

但是，請注意，不建議外國人搭乘。

如同照片一般，人與人之間的座位非常擁擠。在菲律賓只要是擁擠的地方，扒手特多。
千萬別以為你把錢包顧好就安全了，錯了，有時候他們會用槍抵著你，請不要反抗，乖乖給錢才不會有生命危險。

這也就是為什麼只要一出門，就只要帶『夠用』的現金在身上就好了。不用帶到錢包與證件因為你用不到。

Talk about the most popular transportation used in the Philippines - Jeepney.
It is similar to a bus, but the car-size is only a small truck. And jeepneys are painted all kinds of types with routes by drivers.
The reason for popular usage of jeepneys is "cheaper price". One distance costing 50 pesos by taxi is equal to 8 pesos by jeepney.

But, please pay attention, I don't suggest to take a jeepney for a foreigner.

Look at picture, people sit crowded and closely, it's a good opportunity for a pickpocket to steal your items.
Please do not think it's safe that you pay more attention for your items, because sometimes they touch you by a gun. Please do not try to be against them, just give them money to ensure your security.

That's why when you go out, please do not bring so much money with you. And leave your wallet and important items in your accommodation. You only need to bring "enough" cash with you, and you will not use any ID in the Philippines so please leave it at your place.
