Have you ever seen a jeepney? It is a very special bus in the Philippines.
Long ago, a big war ended. Soldiers left behind green cars called jeeps.
Kind people took the old jeeps. They made them longer to hold more riders.
They painted them with bright colors. They added shiny metal and pretty stars.
Now, jeepneys are like moving art. They drive on the busy streets every day.
People hop on to go to school. It is a fun way to travel together.
