How would I know that that was the case for buses? But I have learned my lesson. In succeeding trips, around 3 more, I took the habalhabal and/or van. On the bright side, it was an experience. :) Hi dckiks, that’s the difference, you have lived for two years whereas I was a visitor. How would I know that that was the case for buses?

Whenever one passes, its full. If I will just get down on the bus and wait, it might take me 30 minutes or more of waiting. And when you finally get one, prepare to be charged an arm and a leg. @dckiks, good suggestion but you’re out in this side of Cebu where even habalhabals are few and far between.

But you had an option, why it did not came to your mind to get off from the bus and took the habalhabal the passed your ride instead. You could be at your destination in no time instead of having a headache. Pinoy sab! mwa ha ha ha ! It is really a hard time for you.
