message: Jeep+knee sounds contrived.  Jeep + jitney is the most common etymology I've heard and was taught as such in a transportation engineering course I took years ago.  Since the jeepney has its roots in the surplus jeeps after WWII, contact with remaining US servicemen would have introduced the term jitney - especially from those GIs from the south, where the term was more common.Michael Daly 17:50, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

*Bayad (po). - Here's the payment(sir).
*Para.- in order to (allow passengers to disembark). The correct word for stop is alto. The word para is also used commonly in other dialects.
*Magakano sa Santa Cruz?- How much to Santa Cruz?
*Mayroon ba sa Padre Faura?- Is there (anyone getting off) at Padre Faura?

message: I went to the Philippines in 1978 and Jeepneys were everywhere in Manilla. The small manufacturers were just finishing off the last of the surplus WW2 jeeps then. One thing I noticed about the Jeepneys was they never actually stopped, they'd just slow down and *almost* stop to let passengers on or off. Never saw anyone fall getting on or off.

replies: text: LOL. They still do that. They usually only stop at terminals. This is because in a lot of places it is actually illegal to take on or unload passengers especially if it's a highway or a very busy street (you will notice signs beside roads saying "No loading or unloading"). But passengers insist on getting off anyway as they are usually closer to their actual destination. This usually results in stop and go traffic in major cities. The government tried to stop this practice by introducing more bus stops, but no luck. -- Obsidi♠n Soul 08:39, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
