With this, Negros Oriental can be accessed to a number of roads and that includes the national road that runs all the way to the entire island. And with a total of 900 kilometres of provincial and national roads combined, unfortunately only half of these are paved. Public transportation is solely dependent on jeepneys which take you to major towns and rural areas. And getting to Bacolod from Dumaguete can take only five to six hours by land. Vallacar Transit Incorporated the safest, biggest and the fastest public means of land transportation operates the entire island with Ceres Liner as its bus line trumping the roads from Bacolod City to Panay with a number of trips everyday.
