How to get to Danao city

getting to danao city

From Cebu City (or Mactan City)
There are myriads of ways and transports that will lead you to Danao City. You also have choices of fare rates – from the cheapest to the premium one. All right, let's take you there through any of the transports below.

buses & minibuses

Go to Cebu North Bus Terminal for your choices of bus companies available there. The fare varies depending on the size of the bus. Usually, the larger buses (such as Ceres Liner and Road Runner) the charge more than the mini-buses (from around 40 to 50 pesos).

The rationale behind the fare differences is that larger buses are more convenient and even faster (especially the air-conditioned ones since they make only a few stops along the way).
Buses leave for Danao City at every 15 – 30 minutes. Pick the ones that travel to Carmen or Sogod directions.

Taking a bus to Danao could be the cheapest and most convenient mode of transport.

V-Hire (short for Van for Hire)

Yes, they used to be (and still are) transports for hire (or ‘pakyaw’) for bigger groups or a family who want to travel as a group conveniently and quickly. They are fast, and that is why many would choose them. They are fast because they can easily pass through heavy traffic due to their size, and they only drop off a passenger in limited areas.

Take V-Hires at Cebu North Bus Terminal in Cebu City or SM City Cebu. Vans are all air-conditioned but usually not sufficient to cool down the temperature inside not only because of the tropical heat but because of the number of people they accommodate (often overloaded – passengers get squeezed!).

Anyhow, many riders would take this transport for the main reasons above – being fast and they depart as soon as the seats are full. It takes around an hour and a half to reach Danao City. The front seats are the most comfortable place if you do not know yet!
