The 44-seater Skyjeepney, used to ferry members of the press to cover the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Economic Leaders’ Meeting from November 16-20 in Manila, became an instant attraction at the International Media Center.
Just like the legendary Philippine Jeepney, the double-decker bus is a sure hit for foreigners and locals alike given its color and unique design that reflect Filipino culture.
Designed by Mark Cabili Bautista of Design Development Industries, Inc., the Skyjeepney is being promoted as a touring bus that gives passengers both fun and comfort.
The air-conditioned bus is also equipped with a GPS, refrigerator, cellphone-charging station, and a videoke that make a commuter's trip memorable.
The manufacturing cost of a Skyjeepney varies from 3.5 million to 12 million Philippine pesos, depending on one’s specifications.
