Jeepney drivers in the Philippines have launched a three-day strike to protest government plans to phase out older vehicles. The strike, which is scheduled to end on May 1, has led to a shift to online classes for public schools and caused challenges due to coinciding high temperatures. The government has been pushing for a modernization program that includes removing older jeepneys from service, but drivers and operators are resisting the changes, viewing them as a threat to their livelihoods and a cultural erasure. The strike could significantly impact urban mobility and affect the travel plans of locals and tourists, possibly steering visitors towards other forms of transportation or affecting their overall experience in the Philippines.
