Jeepneys are a popular mode of transport in The Philippines, and last year I profiled the decorative work that adorns them. This includes a wonderful documentary film by Esy Casey.
Today I found this video about a sign painter that produces the destination and other functional/directional signage for the Jeepneys. It shows the painter at work, including his tools, materials, and techniques.
The #jeepney is the backbone of the #Philippines’ transport system. The customised, privately-owned buses, which look like a cross between a Jeep and a van and are decorated in flamboyant colours, ply routes in neighbourhood streets and city centres, offering rides for as little as 13 pesos (23 US cents). #PUVMP
As long as #jeepney drivers and operators cannot afford the newer minibuses being pushed by the comprador government, and cooperatives can't absorb all of the driver-operators who will lose their franchises, the transport sector will never be almost unanimous in supporting the ineffective #PUV "modernization" program. :seija_coffee:
We must resist this hostile corporate takeover of our #publictransport!
Patok sa Davao City ang jeep na ito na may libreng pa-karaoke sa mga pasahero. Ito ang jeepney na pinapasada ng 61-anyos na si Bayan Patroller Roque Dela Cerna.
