Driver
The Driver is the most popular role and the one that earns the most directly. You drive the jeepney, pick up passengers, follow the route, and manage fuel and vehicle condition. Works best with a Conductor for accurate fare collection on long routes like Malolos.
Barker
Barkers stand at terminals and shout to attract passengers. They direct riders to specific jeepneys so drivers can fill up faster. You do not drive; you earn from the passengers you direct. Best for players who prefer a support or social playstyle.
Conductor
The Conductor rides inside the jeepney and collects fares from passengers, handles change, and ensures the correct fare per stop. Essential for accurate collection on long routes. Partners with the Driver for maximum efficiency and earnings.
Citizen
As a Citizen you play as a passenger. You ride jeepneys between stops, pay fares, and experience the map from a rider perspective. No direct earning, but good for testing routes and learning the map.
Operator
The Operator owns a jeepney and hires Drivers and Conductors to run it. You earn passive income from the vehicle operation. This is a higher-level role that requires more investment and is best for experienced players with multiple jeepneys.
Which Role Should You Pick?
Choose Driver if you want to earn the most and control the jeepney. Pick Barker or Conductor for team play. Try Citizen to learn the map and role-play. Go Operator when you have the resources for passive income.
