Bus & jeepney

The Ceres Bus Liner terminal (South Rd) is a short tricycle ride from town. It services routes both north and south, including Zamboanguita (P25, 30 minutes) and Bais City (P40, one hour).

There is a smaller bus terminal next to the pier that does short hauls north, including Bais City (P30, 1¼ hours), Tampi (P15, 45 minutes) and Camboloctot (for Twin Lakes; P15, 30 minutes). There is also a jeepney stand on the corner of Real St and V Locsin St that services the same routes.
