For the past month and a half, my means of transportation going to work is via the shuttle service near our place. The association has various vans, L300 and modified jeepneys that drive us yuppies to Makati. I shun as much as possible riding those modified jeepneys going here to work. For one, nakakahiyang makita ka na nakasakay sa ka-karag-karag na jeep; secondly, I think my 35 pesos is not well spent if I would just ride those jeeps instead of a van; thirdly, the aircon sucks.
This morning, I was unfortunate to ride one of those jeeps. Ugh. As I was approaching the make-shift garage, I was thinking if I can walk slower so that I will be riding with the next shuttle instead. But the jeepney had just parked there and I was the third passenger to ride. Heck, there is no where else to go but inside the damn jeep.
To my surprise, the interior of the jeep was well modified. The seats were comfy and clean. Parang sofa na napakalambot. Really! No holes or tagpi in the seats. The aircon works well. It was cold inside. I positioned my self midway because that is the best seat if you want to get the breeze (don’t seat near the driver coz the breeze will just pass by you, don’t seat near the door coz by then, ubos na yung lamig). I am pleased to say the least. What really caught my attention is the flooring of the jeep. It’s not your typical stainless rusty steel. It was tiled! Tiles you typically use in your living room and not in your bathroom. Tiles measuring 10 x 10 inches i think (1 square fits my shoes). I can say that the other passengers took notice of this as not a single one complained when they entered the jeep.
For once, I think that I will be looking forward to riding that jeep again.
