Dumaguete to
Mabinay Bus Travel You can easily ride on an excellent condition, late model bus with a safe driver on a Ceres Lines bus from the Ceres bus terminal south of downtown Dumaguete City to Mabinay, or even beyond to Bacolod City [the fourth largest city in the Philippines]. Here's how: If you are going by bus from Dumaguete City to Mountain Valley Village, take a tricycle [4 pesos per passenger per ride] from anywhere in Dumaguete to the Ceres bus terminal [south side of city]. Get on a Ceres Bus that goes to Bacolod [4th biggest city in Philippines and located on the opposite corner of Negros Island from Dumaguete] VIA Mabinay. At least one or more buses leave Dumaguete every hour 24 hours for Bacolod via Mabinay [by far the shortest route to go between the two cities]. What you don't want to do is to take a bus to Bacolod VIA San Carlos [that route does not pass through Mabinay]. Bus fare per passenger one way Dumaguete to Mabinay is 60 pesos [each US$1 equals approximately 55 pesos] The bus will take you through towns and cities on the national highway like Amlan and Bais City. About 5 kilometers north of Bais City, there is a a different national highway that the bus will turn left onto [at a T-intersection]. That road will take you into the mountains and then into the huge Mabinay Valley. It takes about 45 minutes to one hour to go from Bias to Mabinay [after about 1.5 to 2 hours for the trip from Dumaguete to Bais]. Tell the bus conductor that you want to get off the bus in Botong, Lumbangan, Mabinay, at the Mountain Valley Guest Inn 1. Below is a photo of the Dumaguete City Ceres Liner bus terminal and a few of its buses [Ceres owns hundreds of modern buses to serve all of Negros Island, and parts of Mindanao Island and Cebu Island.  |
