If you are in Cebu and you want to travel or commute to any of its provinces or adjacent cities the V-hire is another one of your choices aside from the buses, taxis or private cars (rental, owned or borrowed). The V-Hire is an air-conditioned mini-van to ferry passengers to a destined province or municipality of Cebu.
One of the advantages of taking the V-Hire as your mode of transportation is that you have less waiting time for the vehicle to take off. As soon as the van is fully occupied it will leave the station right away. It can accommodate 10 persons more or less depending on the mini-van size, brand and model. It is usually faster than the buses because it only stops a few times to drop passengers on the way. The fare is usually uniform regardless of where you will be disembarking. However, in some cases, the fare varies. It runs from over a hundred pesos or less than a hundred depending on the distance of the travel. The fare is collected by a conductor before the transportation takes off.
Passengers in a hurry usually take this mode because the driver can make necessary route adjustments or shortcuts if necessary during heavy traffic, flooding or long road re-routing. The pick-up stations are at mall terminals and at certain government designated waiting/parking area for V-Hires. You can find these pick-up / drop-off stations at Cebu City hall area, SM City (North Reclamation) and Ayala Center Cebu being the most popular ones. The route is labeled at the designated waiting area. One last advice, though, is that you should not bring big baggage/s with you because there is less space for that. If you are one of the first passengers to board you can choose your comfortable seating. However, if you are a person who dislike being cramped up in close space you better take the air-conditioned bus. You can read my post about buses in Cebu.
