Jeepney ride in Puerto Galera

We’re going for a jeepney ride from Puerto Galera to Sabang.    It will cost you 7 pesos or about 15 cents.

clip_image002  It isn’t often that you see an empty jeepney. This one was off duty parked on a side street.  Randal and I have to bend over and duck down to get in.  But once inside  you can sit up straight.

clip_image003  When every inch of seat space and floor space is full,  that’s when the jeepney leaves for Sabang.

clip_image004  There are also passengers who will ride up front with the driver. 

clip_image005  This jeepney is just starting to fill up.

clip_image006  This lady and her stuff will get on.  You can see the “jeep terminal clock” across the road on the tree.

Watch your head over the bumpy part, there is very little head room.   Randal and I took the jeepney back and forth to Sabang the first time we went there.  I think the jeepneys are fun.  You pass your pesos up to the driver by handing it to the passengers closest to him.  It’s kind of an honor system, but it seems to work.
