Transport tips
Travel smarter, not harder.
Download Grab before arriving in Cebu - it's more reliable and transparent than unmetered taxis
For day trips to southern Cebu (Oslob, Kawasan), hiring a private car with driver (PHP 3000-4000 for the day) is more convenient than buses
The jeepney is a great cultural experience but be prepared for heat, noise, and occasional delays
Always carry small change for jeepney fares - drivers rarely make change for large bills
Last buses from South Terminal to southern Cebu leave around 7-8PM; plan your return accordingly
Always book Grab/taxis from airport at official stands to avoid scams
Habal-habal (motorcycle taxi) is the only way to reach some waterfalls and hillside attractions
Ferry schedules can change during bad weather - check conditions and have flexibility in your plans
