Jeepneys are made from jeeps left over by the US after World War 2. The surplus jeeps were fixed up, colorfully decorated, and used as public transportation in the Philippines. I have had the pleasure of riding in one back in the 1970's. The Jeepney fits about 6-8 people in the back. A fun ride. They have been modifies since, and the government has put restriction on use.
