As far as I know, it's part of a jeepney driver's job to take his passengers to their destinations no matter how awful traffic conditions are. Ideally, they must work through the burden in order to satisfy their needs and that of their family's. So I wonder why the driver of the jeep I rode this morning was too lazy ("lazy" is an understatement) to travel to Baguio when in fact the jeep he is driving clearly says "Baguio-La Trinidad vice versa".
In his defense, he did ask more than once if any of his passengers were headed to Baguio. However, my rebuttal would be: he shouldn't have done that. It's his job to take passengers to their destination because it's his job to do so. I understand that traffic in Magsaysay makes one want to slit his or her wrists, but the driver shouldn't have been selfish enough to deprive awaiting passengers a mode of transportation (at past 7 a.m. it's mysteriously difficult finding a jeep). We all go through the burden, but no person should put himself above others the way the driver did this morning.
Anyway, this morning's experience proved to me that there are hard-headed selfish jerks in this world. If you're from La Trinidad and you're reading this, heed this advice: don't ride on the green jeepney with the plate number AYK 735.
