Getting Around Busuanga: Your Guide to Public Transport and Shared Vans

Planning your travel around Busuanga Island and Coron? Understanding how the local transit system works will save you a lot of time and frustration.
Here is everything you need to know about navigating the island using public transport.

Is There Public Transport on Busuanga Island?

If you are looking for a standard city transit network, you will find that regular public transport barely exists on Busuanga Island. You will not find large bus terminals with digital screens or trains here.

Instead, the island relies on a small network of local transport options. For travel between major towns and villages, the most common option is the local public bus or jeepney, but they are limited.

How Do Shared Vans and Buses Work in Coron and Busuanga?

The most popular way to travel across the mainland without renting your own vehicle is by taking a shared van or a local bus. However, you need to prepare for a very relaxed style of travel.

Loose Travel Schedules: Vehicles do not always leave exactly on the minute. They often operate on a loose schedule and will sometimes wait until the van is completely full of passengers before starting the journey.
Plan with Extra Time: Because of the flexible timetables and frequent stops to drop off locals along the highway, you should always give yourself plenty of extra travel time. Never book a public van if you are rushing to catch a flight at Busuanga Airport!

Where Can You See the Coron to Busuanga Bus Schedule?

Because timetables can change depending on the season and road conditions, it is important to check official local travel schedules before you pack your bags.
