Getting Around Cebu By Land...

The jeepney is a conventional form of public transport. It is a remodeled US military jeep extended to accommodate 18 passengers including the driver. Getting around on the jeepney is puzzling especially for first time visitors but its worth the adventure. Their routes are indicated on the sides of the jeepney and fares range from P4.00 or more depending on destination. Other forms or transportation include the bus, taxi and chauffer-driven cars. Buses provide service in the city and outbound journeys. The taxi is the most convenient way of getting around Cebu and could be flagged down anywhere. Taxis also queue at most hotels and shopping centers and can be requested by telephone. Car rental companies have offices around Metro Cebu, in major hotels, and at the airport.

Taxi : ideal for really going around, seeing the sights; flag down P30, succedding fare P2.50.

Tartanilla : clippety-clop, clippety-clop; get a feel of how Cebuanos
(horse-drawn car) got around in times past. Jeepney : rub elbows with the locals on the famous Filipino (fixed routes) commuter vehicle; for city trips.

By Sea : Banca - (motorized trigger) for island-hopping
