Yep, that too!
There were many modern jeepney designs since the late 90s, but they all did not last because they did not get support from the government (and it's more expensive of course than regular jeepneys).
Instead of tapping those inventors, they chose a mini-bus. (Or, maybe they did but those inventors refused, or have moved on, after what they've experienced.)
There was even a design of a jeepney that is part mini-bus. I've only seen it between 2013 to 2018, plying along Buendia Ave. It was the best design I've seen. It was still a jeep, but sized up to be like a mini-bus. Sadly, that too disappeared.
