    Sad but all of the above is true.

    Personally I would consider when riding a motor cycle the chances meeting an accident in Dumaguete are very high. Having ridden a number of years in Cebu, Bacolod and various other cities here I find Dumaguete the most unpredictable. Sheer volume of motors, trikes and cars is just to much for the city. One blessing is one can escape in a reasonable time unlike larger cities.

    Thanks for the tip.
    {As to Talisay being a city. Totally agree, as is Mandaue and a lot of others but
    Metro Cebu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    That site will show you all the cities that are part of Metro Cebu.)

    Recommend You drive up West side of Cebu island from Bato to Moalboal to Barili to Carcar. Less traffic and nice scenery. In Carcar You hit the madness of South Road and gets only worse closer to City. You may think SRP faster but lately every time there's accident(s) and total stop. BTW Talisay is a city.

    I always ride bike to ciudad. Faster and more fun than any bus :cool:

    I don't know anytime that is even sort of slightly safe on the roads here and I see traffic being annoyingly slow anytime from 9am-8pm. If its heavy traffic your at risk of idiots trying to pass crazy like nearly hitting you constantly or idiots pulling out without looking expecting to be let in. If its not a heavy traffic time then those wanting to push 80kph swerving past everyone they come across and if its dark to many motors without lights that are hard to see in any of the numerous poorly lit areas. If its at 3am depending on your route since very few others out there get worried of being held up at gunpoint as usually those out at 3am are expected to be heading home from the bar.
