CEBU VISITORS GUIDE: THE JEEPS OF CEBU: ROUTES

JEEPNEY ROUTES

Jeep routes have been determined by the LTFRB (Land Transportation Franchises Regulatory Board) but the number of jeeps plying each route is largely determined by market demand. There are no lists of routes available; as far as I know the list on this page - compiled by Wa'y Blima! - is the only one in existence (I went to the LTFRB to get one but was told to write a letter to the director stating my request and requirements in detail.) Cebuanos know most of the routes that are available for the destinations that matter to them. Having said that, even some dispatchers - the guys who wave people onto jeepneys at PUJ stops - are ignorant about routes in other parts of the city.

The important routes with a large number of plying jeeps are given in green. Routes in yellow are plied by multicabs (the smallest kind of jeep). The pink destinations in bold typeface are the markings commonly found on the side of the jeep. Not all jeeps on the same route, however, conform to the same markings; while some may list only two destinations, others may list four or five.

From 41 thru 46, the route is essentially the same except that the starting point is further and further south along the coastal highway. For example, while 41 starts in Tabunok, 43 starts in Minglanilla, 44 starts in Naga, 45 in San Fernando, and 46 in Carcar. I assume 42 starts somewhere between Tabunok and Minglanilla.

Update January 28, 2009

None of the above information is current anymore, having been produced waaay back in 2004. However, today we got this email from M. Manese, who took great pains to compile a route list for the 17 series. Although Wa'y Blima! Cebu isn't being updated anymore, we had to post this:

17B IT Park/Lahug - Carbon IT Park - Salinas - JY Square - Gorordo (UP) - SSS - Escario - Capitol - Jones - Metro Gaisano - Osmena Blvd - Jakosalem - Legazpi - Colon - Metro Gaisano - Jones - Fuente - Capitol - Escario/SSS - Gorordo/UP - JY Square - Sainas - IT Park

17C IT Park/Lahug - Carbon IT Park - Salinas - JY Square - Gorordo - Maxillom (Mango) - F. Ramos - Junquera - Sanciangko - I'm not sure of the return trip yet but it would reach Carbon then I' guessing they'll take Jakosalem, then F. Ramos, Maxillom, Gorordo, JY, Salinas and back to IT Park.

They also have the 17D route and I think it also goes from IT Park to Carbon, but I haven't tried this one yet.

Thank you to Ms Manese.

THE VIEW YOU'LL HAVE WHILE WAITING FOR A JEEP. THANK GOD FOR THE NUMBER TAB!

Cebu City governments have a nasty habit of changing street names. However, in some cases - but not all - jeeps use the old name of a street rather than the official one. Hence, a destination given as "Jones" is actually "President Osmena Boulevard" and "Mango" is actually "General Maxillom". You'll never hear conductors yelling "Osmena! Osmena!" It's always "Joooones! Joooones!"

Recla is short for South Reclamation Area; the name of the road is McArthur. CCMC stands for Cebu City Medical Center.
