I am just over 6ft and am 14 stone so I am quite large overall, however I never rode a Jeepney as we hired a van and driver for our transportation.
Without sounding fatophobic I can see where the Jeepner drivers are coming from - space = fares. I doubt if Tesco's would ever contemplate doing deals for big eaters

Hopefully Les will see this thread and give us the industry point of view
