I’ve promised in one of my earlier posts Tips in Navigating Cebu Jeepneys, that I will be updating the route codes as well as the roads these jeepneys will pass. Unfortunately, it’s so big a task to complete with my limited time, so I will just update what I think is handier especially to tourists and visitors traveling here in Cebu.
If you are bringing big bags and luggage, I recommend you TAKE a TAXI.
Public transpo particularly jeepneys and vhires are ONLY RECOMMENDED FOR THOSE BRINGING one knapsack / one small trolley bag.
If you are four in a group, a taxi is a good option since you can split the cost and is more cost-effective and of course, more convenient.
Mactan Airport to SM Cebu or Ayala Center Cebu via Jeepney
From Mactan International Airport you can actually take public transport all the way to Ayala Center Cebu or SM Cebu or Pier 3 or to anywhere you want to go in the island.
There is an airport multicab that plies the route Airport – Marina Mall – Lapu Lapu City (Opon) Mercado, route code is MI-05a. You can’t mistake them as these multicabs are the only public vehicles allowed to enter the airport vicinity and all of them are colored yellow. So anyhow take one of these yellow multicab and get off in Marina Mall. In Marina Mall you can ride another jeepney that plies the route Opon-Mandaue or Opon-SM, these jeepneys will take the Marcelo Fernan Bridge and on to their destinations.
Mactan Airport Yellow Multicab
If you are going to Ayala Center ask the driver first if his route is by way of Mandaue Coliseum and then SM (and NOT Marina -Parkmall – SM). Then request the driver to drop you off in Mandaue Coliseum. Cebuano drivers and passengers are generally friendly and will advice you when you need to get off from the vehicle.
Ride a 20A Mandaue – Ayala jeepney in the vicinity of Mandaue Coliseum. (21B Mandaue – Ayala is no longer allowed to enter the Ayala Public Terminal but if you get tired of waiting for 20A jeepneys, you can still ride 21B but know that you will have to walk from Keppel building to Ayala Center. Most likely 10 minutes brisk walk. If init ang panahon, parusa that’s why I personally prefer waiting for 20A, medyo tamad kasi ako maglakad heheheh). From Ayala you can also reach Fuente Osmena and Downtown Cebu via jeepney.
If you are heading to SM Cebu from the Mactan Airport take the same airport multicab and ride the second jeepney at Marina Mall. You can take any jeepney with signboard that says “SM”. It doesn’t matter whether the route is via Parkmall or via Mandaue Coliseum since both route will converge near the North Bus Terminal then onwards to SM.
When you arrive in SM they have a jeepney terminal there that can take you to Cebu downtown including Labangon, Pardo, Basak, Urgello etc and of course, IT park in Lahug. Downtown Cebu is where you can find the Sto Nino Cathedral as well as the Magellan Cross, Colon Street and Taboan Market. SM is highly recommended as a starting point because there are lots of jeepneys plying the SM route as well as vhires and taxis.
Anyhow there maybe only 5 or 10 yellow airport multicabs so you may need to wait a bit if you want to ride that, but you’ll be saving money! Alternatively, there are taxis in the Mactan airport that you can take and then to save just get off in Marina Mall and ride a jeepney from there.
These yellow multicabs are available 24 HOURS.
So how much would it cost you to ride a jeepney all the way from the airport to SM or Ayala? Here is the breakdown:
Airport multicab to Marina Mall – P8 ( travel time about 5 minutes)
Marina Mall to Mandaue Coliseum – P8 (travel time depends on the traffic, usually about 15 to 30 minutes)
Mandaue Coliseum to Ayala Center Cebu – P10.00 (travel time around 45 mins to an hour)
Marina Mall to SM Cebu – P14.00 (travel time anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes)
If you are heading out of Cebu, you can take the Vhire from SM, fare is only P25 to reach Gaisano Mactan, then take a multicab from Gaisano Mactan to Marina Mall P8. Then take the airport yellow multicab in Marina Mall to get to the Mactan airport P8.
Vhires from SM route has been changed and they are now up to Gaisano Mactan only. Previously, they go all the way to Marina Mall.
NEW UPDATED GUIDE as of SEPTEMBER 2017!!!
Hope this helps! Welcome to Cebu! ^_^
Airport to Cathedral or Sto Nino via Jeepney
I am again updating this post since a lot of rerouting has happened since this was last updated. Today is March 18,2013.
To get to Sto Nino or Cebu Cathedral or Colon and the downtown area, I suggest that you ride these jeepneys:
1. Airport multicab to Marina Mall.
2. Marina Mall to Maguikay Highway – these jeepneys and multicab carries the signage “highway”, get down before you see Maguikay flyover. Drivers usually announced “naay Maguikay?” “Anyone getting down in Maguikay?” Just say yes. Request other passengers to remind you if your jeepney is nearing Maguikay, Cebuanos are kind to travelers.
3. Ride any Mandaue jeepney with signboard “Catedral” – this will take you all the way to Cathedral. And from Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral you can walk to the next tourist spots like Sto Nino Basilica and Magellan’s Cross or even all the way to Colon St or to Plaza Independencia.
VHIRE ALTERNATIVE TO JEEPNEYS:
If your flight will arrive in Cebu after 9 AM, then there is a more convenient way for you to get to SM Cebu or Ayala Center Cebu.
1. Airport yellow multicab and get off in Gaisano Mactan Island Mall P8.
2. Ride a vhire in Gaisano Mactan, they have vhire bound for SM and AYALA. The SM vhires are filled up faster than the Ayala Vhire.
Gaisano Mactan vhire to SM – P25.00
Gaisano Mactan vhire to Ayala – P35.00

Hi, would like to know how to get to Collinwoods from A.T to Tamiya and Tamiya to collinwoods. How much will it cost me if i’ll take Van and tricycle?
penfires says
Hi Desiree,
I am so sorry..can’t help as I don’t know where Collinwoods is and what you mean by the abbreviation “A.T.”
sterling says
hi cille
ano ba pwede sakyan from pacific mall mandaue to sm cebu thanks..
penfires says
Hi Sterling!
I am not 100% sure about this but I think there are SM bound Mandaue jeeps that passes in front of Pacific Mall, ride that (22A, 21D). Now if wala – cross to the main highway and ride any SM bound jeep coming from the North like Danao, Consolacion, Liloan etc.. ang only drawback is that ang babaan is medyo mas malayo ng konti sa front ng SM (unlike Mandaue jeepneys na cro-cross ka lang sa street).
Genesis Espinosa Lalas says
Hi there.
I need to know the cheapest route from cebu southbound terminal to SM or Ayala where the Mactan Airport Yellow Cab are. I’m bound to manila kasi, Thanks…
BTW. thanks for posting this helpful hints.
penfires says
Hi Genesis!
As far as I know there are no Mactan Airport Yellow Cab that waits in Ayala or SM (unless you have prior reservation with them to meet you up at either mall). From the South Bus Terminal, walk a bit to the corner near the Cebu City Medical Center, there are jeepneys that go to SM, those bearing the “SM” sign – 12L, 10M, 10H, 01k. If you want to go to Ayala, walk the opposite way towards Jones Ave and from there ride a 14D (this is a longer walk).
Hope this helps!
Genesis Espinosa Lalas says
hope this is correct. The moment I arrive in the southbus terminal I just have to walk further a bit(towards e-mall?) and ride a jeepney to SM, from SM I need to ride another jeepney to marina mall where the yellow airport cabs waits.
Correct? this is going to be a very long ride to Manila…
mg says
hi…
your site is really helpful… thanks…
uhmmm, ask ko nmn kung may jeepneys going to costabella resort from airport? thanks.
penfires says
Hi mg!
There is no jeepney that goes direct to Costabella from the airport. You have to transfer to a tricycle for that kasi hindi cia along the main highway, the prob is I don’t know where is the tricycle terminal for Costabella resort :/
ann says
Gud am.I’m from Nueva Ecija.How about going to Mactan Airport from the Cathedral?
penfires says
Hi Ann,
If you are coming from the Cathedral, as you leave the gate walk to the left and you’ll see Labangon to SM jeepneys 12L, 12G (they pass by the corner of the Patria building which is across the Cebu Cathedral). Ride that to SM, in SM ride a van for Gaisano Mactan (since there are no longer fx / vhires direct to Marina Mall) and then in Gaisano Mactan ride one any “Mepz” multicab and get off in Marina Mall. In Marina Mall, ride a yellow airport multicab.
If you are commuting all the way back to the airport, its 4 rides :/ Maybe around 1 hour to 1 and a half hour na byahe for a total of P47.50. (P7.50 + P25 + P7.50 + 7.50)
*Cille =)
ann says
by Jeepney please.Thanks again
mg says
good pm.
ask ko lang po paano mag commute from airport to richmond hotel in f. sotto drive?
thanks po.
penfires says
@mg, This is a bit longer way but it’s the less hassle way to get to Richmond Hotel which is in Ramos (yep F. Sotto cia heheh).
1. Go to SM (via jeepney or vhire in Gaisano Mactan Mall). P25.00
2. In SM, ride a Lahug-IT Park-JY Square jeepney, route code 04L. P7.50
3. Once you pass by JY Square Mall, you can get off the jeepney sa Petron or anywhere along that street (Gorordo Avenue).
4. Ride a “Ramos” bound jeepney 04C. P7.50
5. Get off right after passing the Gorordo/ Archbishop intersection, tell the driver you are getting off in “Asilo”. This intersection is a few meters after Royal Concourse.
6. Walk to the hotel. Just ask any local where or see this crude map with direction: http://screencast.com/t/TzlM5I5Y
If you are so fit and loves to walk,you can actually get on a vhire in Gaisano Mactan to Ayala. And from Ayala Terminal just walked to the hotel pero medyo malayo ng konti but I used to walk it everyday to get to Gorordo to catch a jeep to school, that was when I was years younger hehehe
Hope this helps!
mg says
thank you so much.
binabasa ko lahat halos entries mo about cebu and it helps me a lot in planning our trip.
thanks again.

heyyah mj!
thanks for reading my Cebu posts hehehhe. hope you’ll enjoy your Cebu trip! by the way, integral component sa cebu travel or vacation is the food trip part. I tell you mas madami akong emails regarding how they enjoyed the food trip. Busy lang ako lately kaya I have not written my (terrible) backlogs of food related posts. hehehhe
Enjoy Cebu! Kung punta ka for Sinulog 2012, mahirap mag commute, dami road closed.
Anyhow just drop a comment or email me for questions, I’ll help if I can 🙂
Luigi says
Hi,
How can I go to Shangrila Mactan from the airport? Thanks! 🙂
penfires says
Hi Luigi,
Nope there is no jeepney from the airport to Shang. If you want to commute, ride an airport yellow multicab to Marina Mall and then transfer to another multicab bearing the “Punta Engano” signage. Just tell the driver you are getting off in the corner of Shang and then just walk a bit.
Luigi says
alright, thanks!
Jang says
Hi Cille,
Thanx for the post. This is really helpful!
How can I go to Minglanillia from the airport. How much does it cost?
Thanx!
penfires says
Hi Jang,
Go to SM. (please see my other reply re: how to go to SM) and then sa SM jeepney terminal, sakay ka ng KMK Bus (may aircon and may non-aircon), they are the only bus line there. And only a few of them so baka you will wait a bit. They leave the terminal on schedule. P40 to Minglanilla. (add mo fares going to SM). This is the most convenient way to get to Minglanilla. Hope this helps!
Jang says
Thanx so much, Cille!!! 😉

ola says
hi yr blog is very informative 🙂
can i ask sone directions and to what jeeps to ride:
From sto nino to one mango to ayala? thank u
penfires says
heyyyah ola!
When in Sto Nino ask the guard where you can get to a Lahug – Ramos jeep, they have 04C on their route code. Ride that it passes the whole stretch of Mango Avenue. From Mango to Ayala, you can ride the 04C again and get off in “Asilo”, it’s a main intersection before reaching Royal Concourse Buffet, just tell the driver you are getting off in “Asilo” and just walk to Ayala…pero medyo malayo pa baka 10 mins walk. Or you can go back to Fuente area by riding any jeep that passes Mango Ave heading to “Fuente”, then get off in Fuente and ride a 14D jeep to Ayala.
glyssa says
Hello, just to inquire pano po yung transpo from mactan airport to grand prix econotels via jeepney? Then grandpix to sm cebu? Thanks
penfires says
Hi glyssa, I don’t know where grandpix cebu is, if you can tell me the exact address, I might be able to help.
ola says
thank u so much for yr reply 🙂 ive been reading yr blog since yesterday for our trip to cebu nextweek! can i ask pa last questions? we dont want to rely on taxis and we want to enjoy the cebu multicabs hehehe from one mango mall we would like to go to alegre then mactan shrine and from mactan shrine may derecho ba to crown regency skywalk from there?
penfires says
Hi Ola!
Glad I could help!
BTW, I hope you mean Alegre Guitars and not Alegre Beach Resort kasi ang layoooo nun hehhe.
From Mango Ave, make your way to Ayala (using the tips in my first reply) and then to SM (there are SM jeepneys in Ayala), sa SM ride a “Camella” or “Tamiya” vhire P30. Baba sa Tamiya terminal and then ride ‘Abuno’ tricycle, may pila. Tell the driver sa Alegre lang. Along the street you can find the other Cebu guitar makers like Inday Celia, Susing’s Guitar and Jerry’s Guitar.
Pag balik, antay lang ng multicab going to Marina Mall. Pls tell the driver papunta kayo sa Shrine para ibaba kayo sa mas malapit na P8. Pero around 1 km pa ang lakad (we walked this by the way, straight main road lang) but para di mainitan, ride a multicab to Punta Engano.. baka 3 mins lang nandun na kayo.
Pag balik make your way to SM, ride a multicab to Gaisano Mactan signboard “Mercado”, then baba sa Gaisano, sakay Vhire to SM, then sa SM sakay 04L to Lahug, baba sa JY, sakay ng 04C to Ramos. Ramos jeep will pass likod ng Crown Regency, walk nalang kayo.
Alternative, from SM ride anything to “cathedral” 12L, 12G, 10H, 10M. Sa cathedral sakay ng jeepney bound for “Fuente”. Baba kayo sa front ng Crown.
Kung madami kayo, I suggest taxi from SM to Crown Regency. Kasi iikot pa kayo nyan from SM.
Sayang, you won’t make it to Sinulog 2012! Anyhow, enjoy your Cebu Vacation!
Cille =)
glyssa says
Grand prix hotel and suites
Coast pacific business center corner f. Ramos st and general maxilom avenue, cebu city
penfires says
Hi glyssa!
*I’m editing the reply below as you will be getting off as you leave Mango, not as you enter it (same jeepneys to ride).
I am relying on the address as I am not familiar with the hotel.
From airport – ride multicab to Gaisano Mactan – from Gaisano ride vhire to SM – in SM ride 04L and get off in JY Square – In JY Square ride 04C “Ramos”. Tell the driver you are getting off in Grand Prix. I suspect this is near Robinson Fuente na before the 04C jeep turns into Ramos St. (General Maxilom is the old name for Mango Avenue). Total fare would be P8 + P25 + 7.50 + 7.50 = P48.00
On Grandprix to SM: you can ride the 04C again and get off after passing Philhealth intersection, cross the street, there are 04L that passes there, ride that it goes first to Ayala then to SM.
Cille =)
glyssa says
Thank you so much cille 🙂
penfires says
Your welcome =) about your other question pala, to get to SM. Cross the street and ride a “Talamban” bound jeep, 13C, 13A etc. They will pass by Ayala. Baka 5 to 8 minutes from your hotel. Then sa Ayala there are jeepneys to SM.
🙂

dens says
hi pg sumakay ako ng bus from bacolod going to cebu via don salvador san pier ito pag dating ng cebu or san kmi bababa if punta kmi ng sm at ano ang means of transport papuntang pier 4 going to bohol?
penfires says
Hi dens,
If you mean Ceres buses from Bacolod to Cebu, all of them will stop in the Cebu North Bus Terminal. Get off in the terminal, go outside and ride 01k, it goes straight to SM. From SM go to jeepney terminal and ask the dispatcher for jeeps passing through Pier 4, I think it’s 12L, 12G ‘Labangon’. Ask at the terminal to confirm.
Dimples says
Hi Cille,
Thanks for this very informative Blog!
Hubby and I is arriving at Cebu by 10pm na
Wala pa akong nafinalize na accommodation for the nite
But If I will pick Island stay (across Marina Mall)
From the airport, I will take the yellowcab going to Marina Mall, tama? But available pa ba yun ng mga 10-1030pm?
thanks
penfires says
Hi Dimples, I am not so sure about the yellow cab’s availability late at night but I supposed so since 24 hours may pumapasok na mga employees sa airport and sa cargo warehouses, if in case wala na, taxi na lang, it won’t go higher than 60 pesos cgro. Pababa kayo sa Island Stay, lapit lang nun sa Marina Mall intersection.
Nickel Baguhin says
Hello.. first time ko sa cebu sa jan 24.. excited much:) hope you can help me.. ang mandaue jeep route ba ay dadaan sa castle peak? dun kasi ako nakabook.. then from the hotel to taboan, anung jeepney route po ang dumadaan? hope for your response. thanks a lot.. been browsing your blog.. great help po!
penfires says
Hi Nickel,
I don’t think may jeepney passing from Castle Peak to Ayala :/ magtataxi ka talaga neto. It’s near Ayala kaso kung traffic baka abutin ng 20 mins or so, kung walang traffic, sandali lang talaga.
Dimples says
thanks for the reply cille…
ganun na nga lang siguro if walang yellowcab, mag taxi na lang.
pwede isa pang question: if next morning gusto naming pumunta ng shangrila tama ba ang pagkaintindi ko , coming from islandstay, dun na mismo kami sasakay paglabas sa may sign na going to “punta engano” – then makakarating na kami ng shangrila (with konting walk) , how much po ang fare and ilang minutes travel?
eh if sa crimson resort namin gusto pumunta (instead of shangrila)same sasakyan din ba ?dadaan din yun? same fare?
thanks po ulit
Ayen says
hi.. i found your site very interesting and informative.. I planned to visit cebu and my flight will be on feb 3-4. Medyo maikli lang yung time ko to spend at cebu. I’ll arrive around 4pm and depart by 2pm.. could you please help me to make a good itinerary? I want to stay in a hotel with beach also. Of course, i’m very budget concious. Please do advise me on what to do para maging sulit ang short stay ko sa cebu. Thanks a lot! Godbless.
businessyen@yahoo.com
penfires says
Hi Ayen, masyadong maikli nga lalo na 4pm arrival mo at Friday, mas traffic cia. If you are going to the Cebu City close na ang Magellan’s Cross, Fort San Pedro, Taboan etc by the time you get to the city. I’d suggest you go straight to Mactan Shrine para may picture ka ng isa man lang icon ng Cebu hehehe tapos from Shrine dritso ka sa Larsian sa Fuente. You can do pasalubong shopping in Shamrock nasa Fuente din cia. Tapos go back and check in to your hotel in Mactan. (Walang beach resort sa Cebu City, either you go farther North or South or Mactan if you want beaches). Kinabukasan baka you’d be harass if babalik ka pa ng city and di ma enjoy ang beach. But if mas prefer mo ang tourist spots, pls leave early sa hotel, real early if you want to go to Sto Nino and Magellan’s Cross and Taboan and have early lunch in CNT. But you must make sure na wala ka na sa city by 11pm para may time allowance ka to get to the airport. 2pm flight mo, you have to be at the airport by 12:30 at least. Wag ka na magjeep magagahol ka sa oras. Yen, napaka-ikli talaga ng time. On Feb 3 baka you’d rather stay at your hotel and enjoy the beach nalang. Either ways, hopefully you will still enjoy your short trip to Cebu.
Bern says
Hi,
Ask ko lang kung may jeepney route ba from SM City na dadaan sa Gen. Maxilom Ave. coz we will be staying at Mango Park Hotel.
If none, pa advise na lang ng mga possible na sakyan and also from that hotel going to Cebu Pier 4.
Thanks and God Bless.
Bern
penfires says
Hi Bern, two rides. From SM 04L get down in JY Square and then 04C get down in your hotel. Pasabi nalang sa driver.
On your hotel to Pier 4, I would suggest taxi kasi kung jeepney iikot pa kayo sa Fuente / Colon / Pier – lalayo kayo. Kung taxi malapit lang yun.
penfires says
@Dimples, Yep tama there are “Punta Engano” bound multicab dadaan across Island Stay. Puede din kayo magtaxi kasi medyo malapit na ang shang, less than P100 cgro. About Crimson hotel, sorry I have no idea of it’s exact location :/
Nickel Baguhin says
wow.. thank you sa reply.. hmm.. so pwede ko na pala lakarin from ayala right? e feel ko ang cebu habang naglalakad.. hehehe.. anyway thank you talaga! sobrang laking tulong nito.. 🙂

2. we are going back to cebu from bohol in feb. 19 dahil 3am ung flight namin ng feb.20 so we need to check in at 1am. arriving at pier1 ng 9pm. do you think may masasakyan pa kami from pier1 going to mactan airport during 9pm? and anu mga sasakyan namin?

additional pa pala, pa include din po kung gaano katagal yung mga mode of transportations indicated sa questions ko thanks.
penfires says
Hi Rx Miguel =)
1. From Mactan make your way to Gaisano Island Mall Mactan and take Vhire to SM P25/pax. Sa SM sakay ka ng 12L / 12G / 10M, 10H baba ka sa Plaza Independencia. P7.50 each. Tapos walk konti. You can see Pier 1 sa babaan. Total time baka 1 and a half hour sya.
2. Taxi na kayo pabalik sa airport from your Bohol trip, kasi late na and wala na ding vhires sa SM when you get back to Cebu. Mas mabilis to pabalik kasi taxi =)
Cille
Ayen says
hi cille.. thanks for the immediate reply.. great advise.. wheew.. i realized much na napakaikli talaga ng time frame ko.. but anyway, i’ll just make sure mag-enjoy pa din ako despite the time constraints.. thank you so much!.. God bless.. 🙂
penfires says
@Ayen heheheh as in! next time you come here, try to have a few days and head to Bantayan, Malapascua, Camotes or Moalboal. Magandang white sand beaches sya 🙂
RX Miguel says
thanks cille. followup question po pasensya na first time kasi makapunta ng cebu, magkano na ngayon ang pamasahe ng mga taxi going to mactan from pier1? and likewise from mactan to pier1? just a second thought if we budget our money.
penfires says
Hi Rx Miguel, the last time we went to Pier 1 to go to Bohol, we paid the taxi around P150 from our house, which is near Gaisano. So kung airport baka close to P200. Same lang cgro papunta and pabalik. Or baka mas lower pabalik kasi wala ng traffic masyado dahil night kayo darating sa Cebu.
RX Miguel says
thanks again cille. another answered question. curious lang din kc me first time ako makapunta ng cebu and bohol. Sa bohol po ba may mga idea din kayo about sa mga transportation once we stepped on tubigon?
Bern says
Thanks Cille. Also, do you have any recommended hotel resort along Mactan Island na reasonable yung price.
Paadd na rin kung panu po pumunta dun from Airport..
Thanks.
penfires says
@ RX Miguel, Wala ako idea na how to commute sa Bohol, nag avail kasi kami ng van dun hehhehe
@Bern, timing! We just got back from a day trip to several beach resorts here, will be posting data and pics of affordable Mactan Beach resorts later. Cheap and mid range resorts and cottages lang inukutan namin today, no update yet on recommended high end best resorts but this will follow hopefully soon too para mas madaming choices. =).
quil says
Hi! Awesome and helpful blog you have! =)u know how much is the flagdown rate of cebu taxi? advance thank you! and last one, how to get to Magallanes St from Larsian sa Fuente?
penfires says
@Quill, Cebu taxi flag down rate is P40 =). Tapos when you are in Magallanes or anywhere near Sto Nino or Colon, just take any jeepney with “Jones” signage, this will get you to Fuente and then Larsian is just there. 🙂
RX Miguel says
anyway thanks pa din cille.. it will be a great help since it’s my first time to go to cebu as well. nga pala the reason why we are going to bohol is because we have International Conference for Singles for Christ. it is a big event sa bohol. God bless Cille!
penfires says
@RX Miguel – Wow! International Conference for SFC. I wonder if my cousins are going to attend. I’d better ask. 🙂 Have a safe and wonderful seminar and Bohol trip! Thanks too! =)
Ian says
Hey Cille I know you had helped a lot of people in terms of directions :))
I have a favor to ask :))
How do i get to Robinsons Place Cebu from Mactan International Airport by jeepneys? :))
Thanks :))
penfires says
Hi Ian,
Robinson’s place is in Fuente. If your flight arrives after 9am, you might want to go via vhire. Hop on a yellow multicab from airport to Gaisano, and then vhire to Ayala, in Ayala terminal ride 14D jeepney going to Fuente. This jeepney will circle the Fuente Rotanda and then pass by likod ng Robinson’s. Get off then.
OR if purely jeepneys: multicab to marina mall, transfer to ‘highway’ jeepneys and get off in mandaue coliseum.In Mandaue coliseum, ride a 20A Mandaue jeepney to Ayala. (You can also ride 21B Mandaue, this will enter Cebu Business Park but this won’t go to the Ayala terminal, you will have to walk a bit far to reach the terminal.) Then sa Ayala terminal, ride 14D and get off in Robinson’s.
Alternative 3: In Marina Mall ride a SM bound jeepney. In SM ride 12L / 12G / 10H / 10M and get off in Cathedral. In cathedral ride any jeepney with “Jones”or “Fuente” signboard. Get off in Crown Regency and just walk to Robinson’s. There is no stopping near Robinson as it’s already the Fuente Rotanda. This is a longer route by the way and will pass by heavy traffic areas especially when you reach Colon.
Cille =)
Ian says
Thanks Cille :)) I appreciate it so much :))
quil says
thanks cille so much. how about larsian to our hotel in magallanes?
RX Miguel says
yup. it will be on feb 17-19 sa Carlos P garcia Complex sa tagbilaran, bohol. The international conference will start in 10am ng feb.17. SFC din ba mga cousins mo? nice.. 😀
Dimples says
Hi cille,
Related to your reply #147 to Ian’s question.
If pabalik naman ng airport from robinsons place cebu, same din ba nyang jeepney routes that you mentioned (the other way around lang?)
and if mag jeep nga lang from robinsons place cebu to mactan international airport if I need to be at mactan international airport by 3pm on a sunday, then what time ako dapat umalis ng robinsons?
super thanks in advance
penfires says
Guys sorry for the late replies was super busy, anyhow here goes:
@Quill – Larsian to Magallanes – if you are more than 3 it might be better if you take taxi on the way back esp if gabi na. If jeep, I am not very sure of this but I think you will reach Magallanes St if you ride 06B – this is a Guadalupe jeepney or 04B from Lahug. Or any jeep with the signage “San Jose Recolletos”, you might have to walk a bit to your hotel. Or better yet mentioned your hotel to the jeepney driver if they’ll pass by or close by.
@RX Miguel, yep they are 🙂 maganda sa Bohol mag conference =)
@Dimples, From Robinson’s to airport and you have to be there at 3pm. If you are commuting pls leave at most 1:30pm. Nope, not the same jeepneys. From Robinson I suggest go to Ayala 14D. Then in Ayala check the Vhire to Gaisano Mactan/Opon, if it is near full ride that. If not, go to SM, ride 04L inside Ayala Terminal. In SM ride vhire to Gaisano (there are no more Marina Mall/Mepz vhires now), in Gaisano ride multicab to Marina Mall. In Marina take the yellow airport multicab. Fare: P7.50 + P7.50 + P25 + P7.50 + P7.50 = P55.

Hi honeyko!
Wala akong concrete idea but if Cebu North Bus Terminal faces the same situations that of Cebu South Bus Terminal then I would say that it is most likely that buses bound for Bacolod from Cebu will be teeming with passengers too. Maybe you can buy bus tickets ahead but you must confirm with the bus management like Ceres Liners if having pre-bought tickets will insure that you’ll have seats on the bus. Otherwise, wag na makipagsapalaran, ubosan kasi talaga ng bus seats almost anywhere in the country during the Holy Week. Godbless sa trip!

Hi Cille,
I don’t know if my comment appeared on your page already, but anyway, I sent you an email regarding my itinerary. Hope you could help me a bit.
I read the whole thread already and took note of most of the transportation I’ll need to take, but I’m still confused with the other routes. Hope you can help me complete my it. Thanks!!

Hi 18th rainbow! You’ll be traveling with Ia right? I’ve just emailed Ia my comments on your IT. Please review it and also on your last day make sure you leave Crowne at most 10am, if puede 9:30am, just to make sure you have ample time to get to the airport.
Cille =)
