Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

I've taken a ride on one of the e-jeepneys plying the Buendia/LRT-BGC route a while back, and it's really worse than a traditional jeepney for a tall-ish person like me. I'm not terribly tall, kinda wide, but moving around in one of those e-jeepneys is just the worst. In a traditional jeepney, I can just scoot over to a vacant spot if I have to, but in an e-jeepney (at least in that model), I have to actually stand up (or rather, half-crouch-half-stand) to move.
Now, the ones in Manila (and certain areas of Pasay), the mini-bus types with longitudinal seating, they're way better. I think those are e-buses, but nevertheless, I wish more jeepney routes actually change over to such vehicles. I may be sympathetic to the jeepney driver's plight, but clogging our streets with jeepneys when a more efficient mode of transport (for certain routes, like those plying the entire length of Taft Avenue/Avenida Rizal) is available is such a waste. In return, the routes that are currently held by trikes but are really needing the capacity boost, can then be assigned to jeepneys.
