FIL: Isang tao na nagmamaneho ng pampublikong sasakyan, partikular na ng dyipni.
EN: Driver (especially of a public utility vehicle like a jeepney).
The undisputed 'hari ng kalsada' (king of the road). The one who navigates Manila's traffic jungle, collects your 'bayad po', and expertly passes the 'sukli' down a chain of passengers. Their skill is legendary, their patience... tested daily.
A Filipino adaptation of the French 'chauffeur', likely via English, which has taken on a more specific, public transport context than 'tsoper'.
Strongly associated with jeepney drivers. While 'drayber' is a general term, 'tsuper' specifically evokes the image of a jeepney driver.
