Never been a problem on a jeepney for me . Mind you they squeeze them on until it is full then throw in a few more. And it only high thirties.
Just keep your belongings tight - which would you prefer a racist empty seat next to you or your stuff stolen?
one of my more memorable experiences! Along with the ‘thrill’ of a minivan from Puerto Princesa to El Nido ranking just ahead off a taxi from Pnomh Penh to Sihanoukville or taking a Paris taxi in the would this be better with my eyes closed? stakes.
I travel daily by bus and MTR and daily I notice that mostly local persons not to sit beside my EMPTY seat until it is last seat remaining.
Sometime it is like they just see the seat, see me and then try to find out other seat, no matter if they need to walk few steps more to reach the seat.
In short, it is feel not good.
Happening with someone other ? Or I am the only one ?
Why they do this ?
As a white guy, happens to me all the time. Enjoy the extra space.
