kasya pa!
First, stop for the wave.
People flag you down from the island on the left or the sidewalk on the right. Move to that side's outer lane and hold your thumb to brake. Stop on the green box and they climb on: “Sakay!”
Hand back the change
This panel is the whole game. Someone pays, a bar runs down, and you give the change while the jeep keeps moving. Here it is with the game's easy fares.

Fast and packed. Tricycles cut in, and the timer shrinks as you go.

Student and lola fares are the lower one.
The road bites back
People wait on both sides of a four-lane road, so you keep crossing the traffic. Dent the jeep three times and the shift ends early, unless you stop at a talyer first.
| A shift | 3 minutes |
|---|---|
| Seats | 16, plus 4 hanging on |
| Dents before the talyer | 3 |
| A talyer repair | ₱50 a dent |
| Checkpoint fine | ₱40 a rider on the back |
| The boundary | New every day |
| Routes | Quiapo – Cubao, Angeles – Porac |
The boundary is what a driver owes the jeep's owner each day. In the game it's your target for the shift, the same for everyone that day.
