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.

 
We'll walk away from the pier along the main street into town a short distance to the jeepney stop.
 
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.
 
When every inch of seat space and floor space is full, that's when the jeepney leaves for Sabang.
 
There are also passengers who will ride up front with the driver.
 
This jeepney is just starting to fill up.
 
This lady and her stuff will get on. You can see the "jeep terminal clock" across the road on the tree.
 
And finally, with passengers sitting on the rear door and hanging on the back, it's time to go...along the "under construction" road to Sabang. 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.
