It reminds me of the jeepneys in Manila. Filipinos also outfitted former American army jeeps with fancy decorations in colorful and creative ways. These are used heavily for daily transportation all over Manila, with full ridership. As for Philippine buses, people do bring chickens on the ride, whether they are in baskets from the open markets or in a bucket from Kentucky fried chicken!

These guys are in a hurry and it’s noisy in a camieoneta. If you can’t get the words out effectively, they’ll probably nod their heads and shoo you onto the bus all the same. Which can sometimes lead to going in the opposite direction that you want to go.
