Jeepney problems in Cebu
In the city of Cebu there are many jeepneys, they are the most accessible transportation for everyone because there are no schedules and cheaper. About twenty people could fit in an average jeepney, most passengers are students and employees. Since, these months spells Christmas or "pasko" here are some things happening inside the jeepneys.
Today,the jeepney drivers are pretty annoyed with the kids jumping in and out of their jeeps. Who are these people jumping in and out?... They are children and teenagers who jump in the jeeps and sing Christmas Carols in a "new manner", yes, they are not your usual serenading kids outside of your doorsteps. They ask for money from you after they sing their jingles then they leave after a few minutes.
Based on my observation, they get inside the jeepneys and have this introduction saying "were just innocent kids singing Christmas jingles". When they get in, the first impressions of the passengers are getting conscious,nervous,annoyed or simply "where are your parents???". In this situation the drivers get angry at them because they jump in or out when the vehicle is still moving. The driver get concerned about this kids because of what might happen to them, like an accident of falling or getting hit by another vehicle, that might add up to the drivers problems and business.
Sitting in the passenger seat makes you want to think "should i give them money?",inside you feel pity at the same time doubt. Pity, these kids might not have taken their lunch or breakfast or raises another question "why aren't they at school or something??". Doubt, there's this fear that you might get snatched or rob or maybe something else bad.
How are you gonna solve this problem?Can everybody comply to your solution easily?
One time there's this angry passenger in front and there were kids singing in the middle of the aisle, the driver keeps saying "get out from here!!! while were still on hold". The passenger in front lied "here i have 20 peso come here closer". The eyes of the kids were worried and doubting cause he was so eager to give them,
so the kids left, maybe they were afraid of the man in front. After they left, the man says "those kids are really risky doing those things in the streets".
