My jeeney ride adventure

Everyday I take a public transportation called jeepney or saraw to take me anyway where I want to go. I know most people in my country could relate to what I’m about to share each ride I take in our jeepneys…

For those who haven’t got the privilege we enjoy I’ll describe how our jeepneys look like from inside. As you can see in the picture it’s really colorful. About 16 people could fit at the back, 8 on each side. Passengers are sitted facing each other. Some jeepneys have a cd player or a small tv inside to entertain their passengers. It’s like a public bus only smaller.
I love taking the jeepney on my way to work. It gives me time to think about things and I sometimes meet long lost friends. Don’t mean to sound so weird or anything but it’s always one of my most favorite part of my day (yep I think I’m that shallow I guess, even taking jeepney rides makes me happy) Each ride I take is like taking a new adventure. Or it’s like reading a new book about other people’s lives. Like during rush hours when everybody is on a hurry to get somewhere. I’m always joined in by my fellow employees on their way to work or students some still studying for an exam. You can really tell if they are on a hurry because they keep on looking on their watch or asking the driver to go faster. What I really enjoy is when a passenger would make a scene. Mostly an elderly would scold the driver for making the music way too loud, that he couldn’t hear when a passenger want to g off (by the way our jeepneys could stop anywhere just as long as its not on the middle of the street) There are some special instance where something new and unexpected would happened. I call them my best seller! Just like this morning where I joined a group of student in the jeepney. There was no music so there’s nothing to distract my attention. When suddenly a guy started to tap his palms and stomp his right foot as if playing a drum set. He was really concentrating as if not thinking of other passengers looking at him. The weirdest part is that I almost joined in tapping with him lol. That would be like one of those advertisements of a soda or something. But that was it! That was how I started my day… and I can’t wait what will happen tomorrow on my jeepney ride adventure!
