Cebu North Bus Terminal

History

The Cebu North Bus Terminal (CNBT)- is a bus station in Cebu City, Philippines

operated by the Cebu Provincial Government which serves as a hub for buses

servicing northern Cebu.

July 1993 - October 1994

1995-The terminal was completed and provides additional revenues for the city of

Cebu.

24 bus lanes and 27 jeepney lanes Bogo, Daanbantayan, Maya, Medellin, San

Remigio, and Hagnaya among others.

wanted to have the facility converted into a school.

The CPBO-MPC has also laid down Rules for terminal Use and operation, which

came into effect on 27th December 1995 and is applied in the day to day running

of the facilities. Regarding the financial condition, while it seems to be difficult for

the bus terminal alone to be operated favorably as described before, in combination

with the jeepney terminal, the pair forms a viable business.

North Bus Terminal - reopens new location at Open parking lot, SM City Cebu in

Cebu City — beside the MyBus station, right across Bayfront Hotel.

 Tent - as what you see in the picture, and also there is a name of destination

in every tent, where you will seat when the bus/van is not ready

“as what you see in the picture” and it’s called portable toilet.

Actually I don’t have actual picture of the portable toilet in new north bus terminal,

toilet. See the picture there is a red circle and,

They don’t have canteen/store, but there are vendors outside the terminal. They

sell eggs, junk foods, water etc.....and there’s also 7eleven convenience store near

at the terminal.
