My 1st E Jeepney Experience

I have been hearing and reading about the E-Jeepney that is going around Makati but I never had a chance to try riding even if I am a Makati resident. I had a chance to finally try it and it was a blissful experience.

The E-Jeepney line starts at the back of Landmark. They have two routes, One is around Legaspi Village and the other is at Salcedo Village Side. It used to be for free for more than year, it's only last summer that they imposed an P8.00 fare. It's not bad at all considering that you will be able to go inside either Legaspi or Salcedo Village without the hassle of walking under the heat or rain.

I got a chance to chat with few of the lady drivers...Yes,  most of the drivers are women! This only proves that women can do some tasks that we thought only men can.

According to them, the owners prefer to have a lady driver because women are more disciplined, patient and they can control their temper quite well than men. Most of these women are in their late 30s until 40's. They earn decently with a day off plus an 8 hour day job. Not bad huh!

I hope that there will be more companies like them who is not only concern about the environment but also takes care of welfare of their employees.

The E-Jeepney goes around from 7 :00 AM to 10 : 00 AM, 11 : 00 AM to 1 :00 PM, 4 :00 PM to 6:30PM.
