FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
How do I know which jeepney to ride to my university in Iloilo?
The easiest way is to memorize both your university’s district and the main road it is located on. For example, Central Philippine University (CPU) is in Jaro along Lopez Jaena Street, while UP Visayas, the University of San Agustin, and St. Paul University Iloilo are along Gen. Luna Street. Look at the jeepney signboards (such as “Jaro CPU,” “La Paz – City Proper,” “Villa – City Proper,” or “Mandurriao – City Proper”) and confirm with the driver before boarding by asking, “Do you pass by [university name]?” or “Sa [landmark] po ba kayo dumadaan?”.
Which jeepney routes pass by UP Visayas, University of San Agustin, and St. Paul University Iloilo?
UP Visayas (Iloilo City Campus), the University of San Agustin, and St. Paul University Iloilo are all located along Gen. Luna Street, which is part of Iloilo’s university belt. Common jeepney routes that pass by or very near these schools include City Proper – Villa, City Proper – Baluarte, City Proper – Molo, SM City – City Proper, and Mandurriao – City Proper. As long as the jeepney is heading along Gen. Luna, you can usually get off directly in front of or a short walk from your campus.
What jeepney should I take if I study at Central Philippine University (CPU)?
If you are going to CPU, the most convenient routes are Jaro CPU – Ungka and Jaro CPU – Tagbak, which travel along Lopez Jaena Street and stop in front of or very near CPU gates. From City Proper, you can ride any jeepney with a “Jaro CPU” signboard. If you are coming from other districts such as Mandurriao or Molo, you will usually go first to City Proper and then transfer to a Jaro CPU jeepney.
How can I reach ISAT U and WVSU using jeepneys?
ISAT U is located near La Paz Plaza, while WVSU is along Luna Street, between La Paz and Jaro. To reach ISAT U, you can ride a La Paz – City Proper jeepney and get off at La Paz Plaza or directly near the campus. For WVSU, La Paz – City Proper, Jaro CPU, and Jaro Liko NFA routes commonly pass along Luna Street. Students often get off at the main gate or near the WVSU hospital, depending on their building or department.
Is it normal to ride two jeepneys to get to my university?
Yes, many students use a two-leg route, especially if they live in districts that are not directly connected to their campus. For example, a student from Mandurriao going to a Gen. Luna university might ride Mandurriao – City Proper first, then transfer to a City Proper – Villa or City Proper – Baluarte jeepney. This is common, affordable, and part of daily student life in Iloilo, as long as you plan enough travel time.
How much does a typical jeepney ride cost for students in Iloilo?
Jeepney fares are generally very affordable. There is a standard minimum fare set by transport authorities, and students often receive a discount when they present a valid student ID. The exact amount may change over time, so it is best to check the latest fare announcement from local authorities or posted signs inside the jeepney. Always prepare small bills and coins to make paying easier.
What are the busiest times for jeepneys around university areas?
The busiest hours are usually early in the morning from around 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM, when students and office workers are heading out, and late afternoon from around 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, when people go home. Areas like Gen. Luna, Diversion Road, City Proper, Jaro Plaza, and La Paz Plaza can become quite congested. During these times, expect slower travel and sometimes full jeepneys, so it is wise to leave earlier than usual on exam days or when you cannot be late.
How do I tell the driver where I want to get off?
To signal your stop, you can say short phrases such as “Para po” (Stop, please) or be more specific with “Sa gate lang po” (Please stop at the gate) or “Sa plaza lang po” (At the plaza, please). Many students also tap a coin on the ceiling rail to get the driver’s attention. Try to speak loudly enough to be heard but remain polite, and give your stop notice a little before you actually reach it.
What should I do if I am not sure whether the jeepney passes my university?
If you are unsure, do not hesitate to ask before boarding. You can say, “Dumaan po ba kayo sa [university name]?” or “Do you pass by [landmark]?” If the driver says no, simply wait for another jeepney with the correct route. Locals or other students waiting at the stop can also be very helpful, so you can ask them which jeepney to take if you feel confused.
Are jeepneys safe for new students who are not familiar with Iloilo yet?
Jeepneys are the most common and practical way to move around Iloilo, and thousands of students use them daily. As with public transportation anywhere, you should still practice basic safety habits: keep your bag securely closed, avoid displaying expensive gadgets unnecessarily, and be mindful of your belongings when the jeepney is crowded. It is also a good idea to save important landmarks on your phone map and to travel with classmates during your first few weeks.
How can I learn the routes more quickly as a new student?
A helpful approach is to focus on the routes that connect your boarding house or dorm to your university and to City Proper. Ride the same route several times to become familiar with landmarks and turning points. You can also take photos of jeepney signboards, ask upperclassmen about the fastest routes, and mark key areas like Jaro Plaza, La Paz Plaza, and SM City on a map. Over time, you will naturally remember which jeepneys go where, even without checking your notes.
What should I do if I miss my stop or get off at the wrong place?
If you miss your stop, do not panic. You can simply get off at the next safe stopping point and either walk back or ride another jeepney going in the opposite direction. Iloilo’s main roads and university zones are walkable in many areas, and people are generally approachable if you need directions. Politely ask, “How do I get to [university/landmark] from here?” and follow the instructions. Treat it as part of learning the city’s layout—it happens to many students, especially in their first weeks.
