#Jeepney

[dailymothanon]

Whaat another transformer oc?? How could that be 🤨 anyways.. I’ve been fantasizing about making a jeepney transformer cuz Philippines 🇵🇭 also cuz I haven’t seen it done before and I yearned.. since jeepney are usually super customized and decorated and colorful I assume this fella really likes to collect decor to put on 😎 like magnets and stickers and other things. Anyways, I don’t have a name for them, but I’m considering Kalesa cuz they’re aka auto-calesa for the ol carriages that used to be the primary transportation in the Philippines. Also their design is inspired off of vintage/retro(??.. mostly from jukeboxes cuz of PH loving karaoke, but I didn’t wanna do a karaoke machine cuz those are from Japan and jukeboxes are from America) America saying as jeepney were originally military US jeeps that were left in PH which were repurposed and after years of decoration and restoration and customization are the way they are now 😎 pretty cool I think

Jeepney oc is so darling ❤️ if I have any more name ideas for them I’ll update this ; I also haven’t decided which faction they’d be in, so it’s just neutral for now 😌

Here's a fun one. When I was worldbuilding for Mas y Manos way way way back when, I made some pages of a fake travel diary, as if a visiting artist were making a book for future tourists by drawing his experiences. I still like these pages about the public transit.

This is one of those things where I put in too much effort for something only I would care about haha, but I still love them so I'm okay with it.

This Zep jeepney in Baguio may not look quite as cool as the Deadpool one we saw in Quezon City, but still pretty cool. Rushed shot because we were passing it in a taxi and I was struggling to get my phone out.

NO TO JEEPNEY PHASEOUT !!!!!!

SAY HELLO TO A WORSENED TRANSPORT CRISIS BY 2024

By: Mariella Angela H. Olden (December 28, 2023 | 9:25 PM)

Following a meeting with transportation officials, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said on December 12 that no further extensions for consolidation of public utility vehicles (PUV) shall be granted.

One of the cultural markers of Philippine identity is the jeepney. Jeepneys have been the primary mode of transportation for Filipinos due to its affordability and accessibility, particularly for students and workers. Furthermore, it has traditionally been the primary occupation of drivers and operators.

In June 2017, the government established the Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program (PUVMP), intending to replace and eventually phase out traditional jeepneys to improve public transportation. However, with the impending phaseout of jeepneys by December 31, 2023, drivers and operators will be forced to purchase costly modern vehicles supported by the government.

Data from the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) indicates that five days before the consolidation deadline, 31,058 traditional jeepneys, or 73.5% of them in Metro Manila, have yet to be consolidated. These unconsolidated units are highly not a minority.

Why should drivers, operators, commuters, and workers fight back? Among the many effects of the PUVMP is the increase in the minimum fare that will continue to make Filipinos suffer. The PUV Modernization program is a business. Corporations and large businesses will take over and have the advantage of raising fares to pay for expensive "modern jeeps." In contrast, this is a big disadvantage to the families of the drivers and operators, who will sink into debt due to the burden of the monthly payment of the modernized vehicle.

In addition, the Department of Energy and LTFRB has reported that the number of registered vehicles in the Philippines exceeds 9 million. Just over 250,000, equivalent to 2% of jeepneys, make up the total.

More detrimental effects of this program include the modern jeepney being way more expensive than the traditional jeepney. The price of a typical jeepney ranges from P150,000 to P250,000. The cost of operating a modern e-jeepney will rise by 1,766.7% to P2.8 million for drivers and operators. Although P160,000 will be given as a subsidy according to LTFRB, which amounts to a mere 5.7% of the jeepney's entire cost, jeepney drivers will be forced to make at least more earnings each day to be able to settle their loan if they were to switch to the modern jeepney.

By the year 2024, the mass transport crisis in the country will worsen. The government cannot fill such a large and significant gap in public transport in the country. With the influx of imported cars, many local manufacturers and industries will be affected.

The PUVMP program is forcefully erasing one of the main parts of our identity as Filipinos and only in favor of a few rich and foreign interests, making the Filipino masses suffer, further impoverished, and left behind.

Drivers, operators, commuters, and workers—

Unite and fight for #NoToJeepneyPhaseout #NoToPUVPhaseout #NoToPUVModernizationProgram!

Just a little something I whipped up out of boredom.

A jeepney, plus a few shots from around the house. If we end up moving back to the states (and depending on what happens in November that's looking more and more possible), I'm gonna miss a lot of things about the Philippines.

Fun fact: The only place I've lived longer than I have in Baguio was Lawrence, KS.
