Netizen’s Complaint Over A Jeepney Driver’s Behavior Goes Viral on Social Media
JEEPNEY DRIVER – A social media post entailing a complaint of a passenger about a smoking jeepney driver caught the attention of the netizens on Facebook.
It is no secret to the people that smoking really has negative effects on one’s health. Sadly, it does not only affect the health of the person who is doing it but as well as the health of the people who get to inhale the smoke.
The saddest part is that not all of the people who are into smoking thinks of the welfare of the people around them or, at least, just a little consideration most especially when they are doing it in public places.
Smoking in public places is prohibited. However, there are still people who are not obeying it although their activity can put one’s health at risk.

According to the passenger, she continued listening to the phone that was playing on her phone and, later on, she noticed that the jeepney driver allegedly kept on talking. She claimed that she was even told by the driver that she could have ridden a taxi if she does not want to inhale the smoke.
