I'm too tall for Jeepney's and Tricycles - I need a sunroof to stick my head out of. I don't mind tricycles for local trips but IMO Jeepneys are polluting deathtraps. Cue lots of excuses about them being cheap transport for the masses does not mean the owners should treat passengers to a third world experience. How hard can it be to wire up a light that works? Luckily you don't see too many accidents due to low average speeds of the things.
I hire a car. I don't care that it costs me a bit more than the locals pay to hire a car as I pick it up/drop it off at the airport and I know the wheels won't fall off. I'd hate to be responsible for injuries to Rose or any of her family. They're all even starting to get used to wearing seatbelts.
