    		"Jeepneys are the most popular means of public transportation in the Philippines.[2] They were originally made from US military jeeps left over from World War II[3] and are known for their flamboyant decoration and crowded seating. They have become a ubiquitous symbol of Philippine culture.

    The word jeepney is a portmanteau of "jeep" and "Jitney"." -from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeepney

    		It's also a clothing company (inspired by the transport mode, no doubt)
