  • Passengers are seen seated inside of a traditional jeepney. Philippine government is pushing its Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program (PUVMP) which is to replace traditional jeepneys with modernized versions that adhere to tighter safety and emissions standards.

In comparison to traditional jeepneys, which only cost 150,000 to 250,000 Pesos (2,700 to 4,500 USD), the modernized jeepney will cost about 2 million Pesos (36,000 USD) for each unit.
