Traffic articles

Map: recommended to go download MAPTOWN, shopping malls, restaurants are marked, more practical.

Taxi: user repeatedly reminded to choose the right windshield sticker symbol taxi orange.

In fact many taxis with green flags are written as "TESTED" METER, what flags are not or should not sit. CEBU's drivers were more honest.

Taxi starting fee is 25 pesos, we live in Cebu Business Hotel to SM and AYAL etc malls, some are about 60P.

If you are playing up the mountain landscape, the more expensive, our evening package a taxi on LUHO mountain restaurant, round-trip 500P (including meal waiting for a fee). Pier taxis refused to play table, plain good Business we know Cebu Hotel very near, and he also to 50P.

TAXI fee reference: Magellan ' s cross-Light House restaurant: P55; Light House — Ayala: P 38; Cebu Business Hotel – CEBU airport, play table 180P.

You can also consider sitting Jeepny, CEBU-Jeepny in than Mint can squeeze more, also more serious in the street, so it is not recommended.

Costs must have been very low, such as Ayala to Business Hotel: PHP 6/person.

(Reproduced) Mactan has a human tricycles, cheap and convenient, but be sure to talk about the good price and then get on the train.

Locals each only pay 6 pesos, some three-wheeled motorcycle can carry five passengers, so pack the whole car up to only pay 30 pesos. General short range, buggy about 20 pesos, remote you may have to pay 30 pesos. Stop at Hotel port transport (three-wheeled motorcycle, taxi) and usually have less to do more to make, remember to bargain.

Accommodation article

Cebu Business Hotel: 920 P/d, on-line a lot of recommended, I do not recommend here.

Its only advantage is that the location is good, to the Magellan Cross employee main attractions are within walking. The street there is a large supermarket, with Exchange, the exchange rate can also, however no SM supermarket next to the inside; there is a fast-food restaurant JOLIBEE. The room is not mentioned, will it, facilities, and so it is too old. Make room on the Internet, they can also reply speed. http://www.cebubusinesshotel.net/
