This is the usual scenario of Cagayan de Oro Port especially when passenger ships docked on the PIER area. We call this Motorela which can accommodate 8 to 10 passengers depending on the body built of the person. For a minimal fare towards the city proper or to the bus terminal, this is a good transportation. If you are a foreigner, I suggest you let your local companion do the negotiation of the fare with the driver. This Port is just 10 minutes drive to the city proper. If you have no heavy luggage, take the jeepney. It is much cheaper but, be sure to ask where you are heading because there were two routes; the A and B. Better yet, know your destination. If you have question, just leave a comment in this post.
Welcome to the
City of Golden Friendship. Rest assured that the people here are friendly and approachable. Just look after your baggages/lugggages because when the crowd is heavy like this, you will not know what will happen. The transportation that is available when you go out from this gate:
*Motorela- you can negotiate the driver where to go.
*Jeepney- PIER R1 and PIER R2 - either way, the route will be heading to Cogon Market and back. Be acquainted with your destination. To shorten your travel and avoid the traffic, know your destination.
* Taxi- It is the best transportation if it will use the meter. In most cases, taxi drivers will negotiate at a higher price and turn off the meter. If there are drivers who take advantage in this situation, passengers have the option to decline the offer. You can also report them; the local government does not tolerate them.
Motorela on standby and waiting for commuters.
