WeeSam Express
You have the following transport options to get around Cebu:
1. Tricycles (A.K.A. trikes or hubal hubal)
2. Jeepneys
3. Bus
4. Taxis
5. Hire Car with Driver
6. Hire a Motorbike from SDR
Jeepney:
For example, if you are going from Mactan Island/ Marina Mall to say the Shangri-la. A Jeepney would cost approx 10 pesos. If you took a taxi; 120 pesos.
If you go from Marina Mall to say Cebu city (Ayala Mall), a series of Jeepneys (as you would need to take 2-3 different ones to do that journey, would cost less than 20 pesos. A taxi to Ayala would cost around 100 pesos.
Taxis:
Going longer distances is another deal. To go from say Mactan Island or Cebu City to Maya (which is the Northern tip of Cebu) would cost around 2200 – 3000 pesos via taxi; depending on your negotiation skills. It is a 3 – 4 hour journey. Keep in mind the fact that the driver has to factor in a long drive back to Cebu with little or no chance of a passenger. All things being equal, not a bad deal.
Motorbikes:
A cheap and fun way of exploring Mactan and Cebu Islands is by motorbike. SDR rents new model Honda motorbikes (100 and 125 cc) easy-to-ride bikes from just 250 pesos per day.
VHire/ Bus:
The other alternative for a trip such as the one above is via either V Hire or Bus. The later can be boarded at either of the two main bus terminals: North and South Bus Terminals (depending of which way your heading!) The only curve ball is if you are traveling West. in that case you board at the South Terminal. The main bus company is Ceres, that same trip will cost you a mere fraction of the taxi trip (usually less than 250 pesos for even the longest trips – North or South of Cebu), however, this is not a normal ‘bus’ experience as one might find in most developed countries. Expect, cramped conditions, and even vendors boarding the bus at every stop.
V Hire will cost 3 – 6 times more than a bus. A V-Hire is simply a Japanese Van that usually seats 8 people. The advantage is less people and limited stops. You also don’t need to put up with vendors.
Still need to know more on the best way to get around in Cebu? This is where to post your questions.
