A jeepney is cruising through Metro Manila. Whilst the city is developing fast, the jeepney is considered a dinosaur because of their old-fashioned looks and diesel engines. The “Kings of the Road” is the Pinoy's icon of ingenuity and had originally been carved from abandoned US army jeeps to eventually become the king of public transportation all over the Philippines. The upcoming phaseout in 2020 is believed to cause massive displacement or unemployment of drivers plus higher fares for the commuters. (Photo by Claudio Sieber/Barcroft Media)
