Jeepney Cab - Morning work

The main mode of transportation in this country is Jeepney. The army jeeps left by the United States after the Second World War inspired the making of these vehicles. Artworks of painstaking detail are often seen on the shining chrome bodies of these vehicles, which, as earlier said, are copies of army jeeps, resized and remodeled to accommodate commuting passengers numbering from 20 to 30 all in all. You will see more of these vehicles later as I have started a series on these very colorful vehicles. It cost a minimum of 5 pesos to ride one of these, (Exchange rate is 56 pesos to the dollar) so basically 9 cents.
