25 Types of People You’ll See in a Philippine Jeepney 25. The “PDA Couple” Ahh love, love, love. These are the passengers that put the love in the air. These are lovers who just can’t get enough of each other. When you see one, don’t you feel uncomfortable? They just keep on flirting with each other. 24. The “1-2-3” Admit it, most of you done it before! Maybe you forgot your money at home, or you spent it on something and have no more money for your fare, or because you’re saving up money, or trip lang, or “maybe” you just forgot to pay because you were thinking of something else. What do you do? You resort to 1-2-3. These are the type of passengers who don’t pay the fare. Poor manong driver. 23. The “Lay Your Head On My Shoulders” Students, workaholics, children, anyone for that matter, sometimes just can’t resist the urge to sleep inside the jeepney. Be it because of exhaustion, the traffic, the long trip, or whatnot. That’s okay. Until they make you the pillow! These are the passengers that slowly but surely lay their head on you unintentionally because they’re asleep. 22. The “Pa-Simple” When girls see a handsome guy inside the jeep, they’re mostly contented with just looking or being beside that guy, as if there’s nothing. But deep inside, they feel “kilig”, they become conscious of themselves, and they even text their friends about it! But guys? These are the passengers that go a little overboard when they see beautiful women in the jeepney. Guys know it. Girls notice it. No need to explain. 21. The “Leg Boost” When entering the jeepney, sometimes the handle bars are just too high or out of reach for some that the next thing that they could reach is your leg. These are the passengers that use your leg as a handle bar. It doesn’t only happen when entering, but also when exiting. This usually happens with the elderly or with children. But just be a good person and let them be. 20. The “Wind Effect” Have you eaten your breakfast? Why don’t you try some of my hair? Argh! Sometimes there are just women (or men with long hair) who face the window and just let their hair go. Go where? To your face, of course. These are the passengers who don’t even mind tying their hair before facing the window. 19. The “Side Reader” The long trip in the jeepney makes people bored so they try to do something to pass the time like texting. But if the one beside them can’t find anything to do, ohhh no. These are the passengers that read, usually a text message, whatever the one beside them is also reading. 18. The “Siksik Pa More” Are you in a hurry? Get in. No? Get in. “Sampu-sampu yan”. These are the passengers that whether they like it or not, push themselves in the already sardine-like jeepney. 17. The “Uy, Chicks” The Philippines is one of the most blessed countries in the world with natural resources. But better than that, it is blessed with beautiful women. And with men, you just can’t help but to appreciate God’s blessings. These are the passengers who keep on looking at girls. 16. The “Your Payment is Mine” Sometimes done with the 1-2-3 to appear as they have paid, these are the passengers who pass your fare to the driver as if it’s their own. This is dangerous as the driver may think you haven’t paid yet. 15. The “Loud Speaker” If others care for privacy, these people don’t. It doesn’t matter if people know what they’re talking about. They can’t hear it. These are the passengers who talk loudly to their phones. Or have their phones in loud speaker and you could hear what they’re talking about. R.I.P to the ears of the ones beside the 14. The “Tall Guy Problems” With the average Filipinos having a short height compared to other countries, it is but natural that our jeepneys are made for them. This is a drag for the tall ones. These are the tall passengers that have a hard time inside the jeep. Bending their heads in all directions just to fit. 13. The “Soft Voice” There’s always that shy one in the group. In the jeepney, they are the shy ones. These are the passengers that just can’t make their voices louder to say “para”. They usually need to walk back because they’re already past their location. Good thing there are loud speakers. 12. The “Front Seat Runner” Who doesn’t want the front seat? No “siksikan”, a window all to yourself, not one of the other types of passengers to bother you. This is like the VIP seat. These are the types of passengers who race for the front seat. Too bad you have to race yourself to it. Lucky if you’re in front of the queue. 11. The “Trench” Have you been in that moment where your friend meets his friend which you don’t know and you just stand there? Awkward, right? Try that with strangers and you’re in between them. These are the passengers who seem to not see you when talking with their friends. 10. The “Eye Contact With Driver” To make sure the driver doesn’t forget you’ve already paid the fare, do this. 9. The “Good Guy” These are the passengers that represent the modern heroes. They help you move your goods. Help you get in. Pass your fare to the driver. Aww. We need more of these. 8. The “DJ” Earphones were invented for something. But these passengers don’t seem to know they exist. These are the passengers who play their music so loud for the whole jeep to hear. But sometimes it’s funny because they don’t fit the song. Ever heard lola listen to rap music? I did. 7. The “Closer I Get” How can you do the “pa-simple” if you’re not near the subject? The “part 1” of “pa-simple”, these passengers go near the handsome or beautiful passengers as soon as they get the chance. Creepy. 6. The “Tourist” Foreigners will have an incomplete Philippine experience without riding the jeepney. These are the first time passengers of the Philippine jeepney. Enjoy! 5. The “King Of The Jeep” If King Joffrey was a real person riding the jeepney, these would be them. These are the passengers acting all superior, with their legs wide open, leaving you nowhere to sit. 4. The “Creep” This is usually combined with the Closer I Get and Pa-simple. Staring at you as if they want to devour you, these passengers are the reason girls are afraid of going home alone. Girls, always bring your pepper sprays. 3. The “Pass It Yourself” These passengers are just too lazy to pass other’s fare, they sometimes push the one beside them to pass it for them. You’re even lucky if they say “bayad po” so you can reach for it. 2. The “Yolo” How could the jeepney ride be complete without the “sabit.” Usually done by men, these passengers hang at the back of the jeepney. Dangerous but better than joining the sardine-like environment inside the jeepney. Oh, this comes in different kinds, we have the double, the triple, the quad, the Voltes V, and the ultimate Yolo- on top of the jeep. 1. The “Chika” Not only applicable to girls, these are the passengers who enjoy the company of their friends that they forgot they’re inside a public transportation. Talking loudly, kind of irritating no? video credits: Ray Digital credits: When in Manila
