A day in the life of a Jeepney driver
Фильм және анимация
Over the past year or so, I have committed myself to this little pet project where I spend a day or more in the life of someone we share our roads with. It started out with a day in the life of an ambulance driver (which was the scariest experience to date), then a race car driver when I entered the Vios Cup, to a day in the life of a bridal car driver, a taxi driver, and finally, a jeepney driver.

Jeepney drivers are masters in multi tasking.. Driving and calculating 200 minus 36.. counting change.. holy crap theyre virtuosos

You're pretty much your own boss. Having an assistant to collect the fare money is usually an optional choice

Don't forget running red lights, cutting across 4 lanes of traffic within 50 feet to pickup and drop off passengers and adding to the congestion while spewing black smoke out the back. LOL!

Jeepney is always the number one transportation in the Philippines. Where ever you go there is a jeepney.

This is the coolest jeepney I have ever seen.
Nice review 😊. Being a jeepney driver is very difficult. You're a master of multi tasking. Driving, computing the fare, while keeping your eyes on the street.

Agree. Sometimes napapaisip ako kc i'm driving a car and sometimes rode in a jeep, grabe multitasking talaga sila. You know being a jeepney has lot of stress like traffic, pollution etc etc.

@@malousoldevilla7807 yeah when i was a kid i took this ride for granted. never really appreciated the jeepney drivers up until i was in my 20s and finally left for california. the amount of multitasking and "pawis" steering 😂is something to be commended for.
The most fanciest jeepney I’ve ever seen

I was a jeepney driver for some years before I came here to the States, James. Did the Monumento-Baclaran route via Avenida back when they were still putting up the MRT, and traffic was insane, and before that the Monumento Baclaran (night time) via EDSA, then the UP-Farmers' route, too. Pawis steering was the normal mode, then, I don't know about now.. That steering wheel design you encountered was not the mode then, maybe whoever designed that at Milwaukee motors was thinking of how jeepney drivers would normally seat with one part of the butt up from the seat. Tabingi ang upo, like you said about the wheel....askew or sideways...that is because when you're driving under that heat, in that traffic, on an often hard seat cushioned only by a pillow you brought which had become thinned by constant use, and you seat with the butt flat on the seat, before you make your first "round trip", your butt will be hurting like hell. So what we do is seat sideways or almost sideways. Now I've been here in the States 20-some years, so I hope MOST jeepneys are as comfy and sharp as the one you drove, and who knows, just for the heck of it, I might go back behind the wheel..

Jeepneys are on the process of phasing out. They will be replac by E-jeepneys and euro 4 + diesel jeepneys. In my city, jeepneys and multicabs are already retired. Replaced by Tojo electric jeepney or bus. Gonna miss our old jeepneys.

Not to mention the long hours of driving. I remember waking up my cab driver when he fell asleep while waiting for the traffic light. And also how dangerous their driving skills are. I had to close my eyes most of the time because they drive so close to each other. By the way, I don't think that they have car insurance either.

That's one badass "pimpy" jeepney I've seen!
I really wanna have a jeepney like this to drive around in Canada. Would be very useful in group trips, or even during camping. You can have 3 beds right off the bat. Maybe just some customization to bring the heaters, sliding windows and doors - due to winters. Though, I really like this one since it has a bar! My cousin's family used to have a long jeep, and we would drive it from Cavite to Baguio!
Man that was a flawless jeepney.
big fan here.lagi kong inaabangan to tuwing sunday night at cnn channel 9.lahat ng klaseng sasakyan dina drive niya.very informative.
Miss this kind of content and delivery.
Nice james as a family of jeepney drivers totally agree with you

Good job mr. deakin being a driver of a jeep all body and mind is working it’s a multitasking job. at least you drive with the power steering I drove the pawis steering and a hydro back break not a air break. it’s more harder way back then I’ve been driving for a long time in manila it’s more harder because it’s only a inch between all cars and people around you. I like your video 👍🏻🇵🇭🇺🇸😊
Love it!
Loved the Jeepny day. Thanks from Kerala state in India.
Amen 26 Praise the Lord 86 Amen. 153 Hallelujah 137. Praise Jesus! He is the King of Kings!!

The reason why the sitting position is a lil weird so that you can see the side mirrors easily especially in areas where the traffic is unbearable
