Buses
Taking a bus as a means of public transportation in the Philippines is similar to how bus transportation works in other countries. There are three types of bus service within the Philippines, namely provincial buses with routes from the city to distant towns and provinces, city buses with routes within Metro Manila, and the P2P (Point-to-Point) buses available in Manila.
Provincial buses usually have designated terminals and schedules for departure, whereas city buses have frequent points in Manila where they can pick up and drop off passengers. For both types of service, a passenger does not pay upon boarding the bus but rather, waits for the conductor who will collect fares once a passenger is already seated.
As for the P2P bus, there’s only one point for pick up and another for drop off. Moreover, buses in the Philippines are privately-owned so there are different bus lines and you have an option to ride on an air conditioned bus or non-air conditioned one (which has cheaper fares).

SEA TRAVEL IN THE PHILIPPINES
With more than 7,000 islands in the country, travel by ferry is a necessary form of transport in the Philippines. Journey times can range from under to an hour to over 50, with ferries leaving from the major coastal cities. From Manila, Cebu, Zamboanga and Davao routes are available to, sometimes indirectly, practically every island in the country.
Travel by ferry is economical and offers the opportunity to see parts of the country not afforded by other means of travel. There are four types of boat and ferry transport in the Philippines:
- Passenger liners: large ships carry thousands of passengers as well as cars. Tickets are usually bought in advance and passengers are usually required to 'check-in' three hours before sailing time.
- ROROs: Roll On, Roll Off ferries for cars. Tickets usually paid in advance.
- Fastcraft: fast means of transport between big islands usually in the form of a modern, air-conditioned, catamaran. Tickets are purchased at the dockside before departure.
- Bangkas: small boats for hopping between islands situated in close proximity to one another. Considered the taxis of the sea, motorized bangkas are called 'pumpboats'. Tickets are purchased at the jetty or dock before departure.
All methods of maritime transport are dependent on weather conditions and schedules may be subject to change.
