The inside of a jeepney, looking backwards. These privately-owned vehicles travel predetermined routes, you get on and off wherever you like. Fare is about 16 cents.

Manila jeepney (far right). According to a man I met, Jeepneys differ in Manila and Cebu in that Manila ones are made from jeeps, and Cebu ones are made from used trucks imported from Japan.

I can't figure out how Cebu Pacific Air affords to run this shiny new plane, where each of the 15 people on board only paid $14.00 for the flight...

Even through we had to take the stairs up into the plane, they were better than most plane-stairs in that these ones were covered.
