Abstract: Let $M$ be a differentiable manifold and $TM$ be its tangent bundle. A $C^0$-Finsler structure on $M$ is a continuous function $F:TMightarrowmathbbR$ such that its restriction to each tangent space is a norm. In this work we present a large family of projectively equivalent $C^0$-Finsler manifolds $(hatMcongmathbb{R}^2,hatF)$. Their structures $hatF$ don't have partial derivatives and they aren't invariant by any transformation group of $hatM$. For every $p,qin(hatM,hatF)$, we determine the unique minimizing path connecting $p$ and $q$. They are line segments parallel to the vectors $(sqrt3/2,1/2)$, $(0,1)$ or $(-sqrt3/2,1/2)$, or else a concatenation of two of these line segments. Moreover $(hatM,hatF)$ aren't Busemann $G$-spaces and they don't admit any bounded open $hatF$-strongly convex subsets. Other geodesic properties of $(hatM,hatF)$ are also studied.
