TAKE US TO “THE CARBON”. Two Canadian tourists were seen at the jeepney bay of an uptown mall asking where they could get a ride to “The Carbon”. When asked who referred them to the place and why they wanted to go there, the couple said their Canadian friends who came to Cebu before they did recommended the place for good bargains on native goods not found in the usual stores. A local then began to give them directions how to get there, as well as the usual precautions to take when one got there.
62B OR NOT 62B… En route to “The Carbon” the couple said they have been to many countries around the world, but the Philippine jeepney system (especially the one here is Cebu) is so far the most simple yet efficient transport system they have tried. “It’s so simple yet efficient. Here you have route numbers and route lines and the fare is standardized. It’s very efficient, you can’t get lost,” one of the tourists, an elderly man, said. His wife said she liked the Cebuanos for their hospitality.
