TRANSPORT operations in southern Cebu will undergo temporary adjustments this Sinulog weekend, with V-Hire units bound for key southbound destinations relocated near Taboan Market and bus operations at the Cebu South Bus Terminal (CSBT) moved to the South Road Properties (SRP).
The move is meant to ease traffic congestion during major Santo Niño religious and cultural activities this weekend, January 17-18, 2026.
V-Hire operations for routes bound for Simala, Moalboal, Toledo City and Pinamungajan will be relocated this Sinulog weekend to a newly opened terminal near the Taboan Market Bridge in Cebu City, as authorities implement a temporary transport rerouting ahead of the major festivities.
According to the Cebu Provincial Information Facebook page on Wednesday, Jan. 14, V-Hire units serving these destinations will be stationed at the new terminal at the end of Sanciangco Street, beside the Barangay Hall of Pahina Central, with fares remaining unchanged.
CSBT operations
Meanwhile, bus operations at the CSBT will be temporarily moved to the SRP due to expected traffic disruptions brought about by the solemn procession for the Sto. Niño de Cebu on Saturday and the Sinulog grand parade
on Sunday.
Southbound buses will operate from a temporary terminal along El Pardo Road in the SRP, where passengers will find 24 loading bays with ticketing counters.
The area will be equipped with tents, seats, portalets and adequate lighting, and will be manned by traffic enforcers and peacekeeping personnel.
Drop-off points
Passengers arriving from the south and bound for Cebu City will be dropped off at the Il Corso Terminal in the SRP. From there, modern jeepneys will transport commuters, at regular fares, to key destinations including the Cebu North Bus Terminal, Plaza Independencia, Katipunan Street in front of the Bible Baptist Church, Kinasang-an via F. Vestil Street and Cordova via the Cebu-Cordova
Link Expressway.
For southbound passengers from Cebu City, modern jeepneys will pick up commuters along Katipunan Street near the Bible Baptist Church and ferry them to the temporary bus terminal in the SRP.
During the two-day transport rerouting, the CSBT will serve as a parking area for vehicles of emergency responders, law enforcers and members of the Sinulog working committee.
Regular bus operations at the CSBT are set to resume early Monday morning, January 19. / CDF
