Description


A jeepney, or simply a jeep, is a type of public utility vehicle (PUV) that serves as the most popular means of public transportation in the Philippines. It is known for its crowded seating and kitsch decorations, which have become a widespread symbol of Philippine culture and art. At the 1964 New York World's Fair, a Sarao jeepney was exhibited in the Philippine pavilion as a national symbol for Filipinos.

Jeepneys originate from the American colonial period–share taxis known as "auto calesas," commonly shortened to "AC." These evolved to modified imported cars with attached carriages in the 1930s, which served as cheap passenger utility vehicles in Manila. These vehicles were mostly destroyed in World War II. The need for replacement transport vehicles led to the use of U.S. military jeeps left over from the war, which became the template for the modern jeepney. The word jeepney is a portmanteau of post–World War II "jeep" and pre-war "jitney," both words common slang in the popular vernacular of the era.

Deskripsyon


Ang dyipni o dyip ang pinakakilalang uri ng sasakyan sa Pilipinas. Ang mga ito'y ginawa mula sa mga US Military Jeeps na naiwan mula sa Ikalawang Digmaang Pandaigdig. Simula sa unang pagkalikha nito, ang dyipni ay marami ng mga palamuti.

Ang jeepney, na kilala bilang isang jitney o dyip, ay isang makasaysayang sasakyan na mahalaga sa kasaysayan. Ang jeepney, na siyang pinakakaraniwan at orihinal na anyo ng pampublikong transportasyon na ginagamit ng mga Pilipino, ay maaaring isaalang-alang bilang isang tanda ng kalayaan at pagiging Pilipino.

Ang mga unang Pinoy jeepney ay itinayo noong 1945, matapos lamang ang World War II. Ang mga Pilipino ay nag-repurpose ng mga natirang dyip na naihatid sa Pilipinas ng mga puwersang Amerikano upang mapagaan ang krisis sa pampublikong transit ng bansa sa mga oras na iyon. Dinagdagan nila ang kakayahan ng mga dyip sa 10 hanggang 25 na pasahero at nagdagdag ng bukas na bintana sa lahat ng panig pati na rin ang nakapirming bubong upang maprotektahan ang mga pasahero mula sa matinding init ng Pilipinas. Sa gayon ang Pinoy jeepney ay sumasalamin sa talino, husay, at katatagan ng mga Pilipino.

Ang dyipni ang pinakagamit na uri ng sasakyang panlupa sa Pilipinas. Ginagamit ito sa pamamiyahe, kalakalan, at mga pamamalakbay-pamilya. Ang maigsing dyip ay kayang magsakay ng 12-15 katao, samantalang ang mahabang dyipni naman ay kayang magsakay ng 15-20 katao. Kadalasan, ang mga dyipni ay puno ng mga tao, lalo na tuwing oras ng pamamayihe ng maraming tao.

Ang dyipni ay isa sa pinakakilalang di-patakarang sagisag ng Pilipinas.

    These things are still called jeepney even if they don't look like one. It's other name is fx or passad. They usually have a front face of another car or custom built one. These types of jeeps are usually common around provinces(and in some parts of manila too). Their usual job is either hauling goods(like veggies, fruits or even junk) or people.

    I highly approve this build as a pinoy 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

    It looks more like a revo than Fx (though it's the successor to the Fx)
