Ceres Bus Liner Rates & Schedule

CERES BUS

Weather and other travel conditions may affect the bus schedule posted here and subject to change anytime by the Ceres Liner management, thus if you are concerned about the exact departure time, it is best to confirm with their office and contact them at the numbers provided.

Route details (maps, destination ports and municipalities passed by) are posted here: Bacolod-Cebu and Cebu-Bacolod Ceres Liner bus routes. I recommend you study the route details, these are practical information if you’re going on a Ceres bus trip for the first time or if you want to be acquainted with the cities and municipalities along the way. No need to be disoriented and overwhelmed just like a newbie tourist in an unfamiliar place.
