Is 
                  this a jeepney? 
                Umm. . .for 
                  the purist. . . Not. It's a departure from the seating style 
                  of the passengers seats facing each other, and in crowded quarters, 
                  the knees touching, and some say, the origin of the word ":jeepney" 
                  — jeep-knee. 
                  
                This has 
                  more of a mini-bus front-facing seating arrangement. But other 
                  than that it's all jeepney innards and shell. Mud guards, roof 
                  style, borloloys. The front view is unmistakably 'jeepney: center-grille, 
                  panel board, fender, accessories and all.
