{Only in Pinas} When commuting gets tough

Here in Cebu, jeepney is commonly used public utility vehicle. It is cheaper than taxi. There are buses, but only used for long distance travel. Sadly, we don't have train. Habal2x (motorcycle for hire) is highly not recommended since Pinoy drivers are (not all but outnumbered by) reckless.
So for commuters like me, jeepney is okey for my 10km ride to the office.

Though its a cheap ride, I still expect to be comfy. To at least still feel sane as I arrived in the office. But seems like commuters here are treated inhumanely. I don't know with other routes but riding a Consolacion-route wide jeepneys is tough and upsetting. 
What's worse, seems like everyone accepts to be treated this way.

Look at this chair. 
Two people had to occupy on this and will pay the same fare as the one sitting on the bench.
See our knees too close to those sitting in the middle.
Sad! Only in the Philippines!!!
Wake up LTFRB-7!
