Who will redesign the jeepney? A totally new design, from the ground up. Starting from the interior layout, using ergonomic principles, to the propulsion system.

Well, pag gusto may paraan, pag ayaw, marami silang idadahilan. I think our engineers can do it

. I mean, if the local tambay can make a PUJ, paano pa kaya ang mahusay na engineer?

This pretty much says it all. No one was getting the point of the jeepney critics.

There you go. Kaya naman pala ng Pinoy. I've seen good driving habits from people in Palawan as well.

The Ilonggo jeepneys look much more aerodynamic and have a lower center of gravity than the ones in Manila. They look a bit heavy though. These are most likely more fuel efficient than the old ones. I wouldn't mind seeing these jeeps in Manila.

Langya.....ang pangit nga ng Manila Jeepneys! Bulok na ang design, ang bigat pang tingnan!

Compare that to this Iloilo Fortuner Jeep, very clean and more "elegant" ang dating.......

Dalhin na rito yung mga Iloilo jeeps dito sa Manila............

PUJs in Iloilo look clean too. Looks like owners of those take care of their business. Heck...I think I've said enough about PUJs in Manila.

Well they must, Ilonggos are choosy about their ride. Mangangamote kita nila kung so-so lang pinapasada nilang jeep.

would be front facing seats be viable?? it's more comfortable, and a left side entrance would also come handy. ala bus na!

btw, i suggest original pinoy designed jeepneys rather than front cuts with jeepney ends...no offense meant ha

the iloilo jeeps looks like our "multicab" (zuk carry transformed as people mover or jeepnet) end but bigger and has a more handsome front end.

someone in one of the threads at tsikot design and research forum gave out a design of the "future" jeepneys. just forgot who it was! the concept was colored yellow

looks good too.
