Jeepney vs. Van-Van

The differences between taking a Jeepney and a Van-Van here at Borongan is big: Van-Van are comfortable, usually have air condition, so you don't sweat, and there is enough space between the seats. Add the fact that you will get home earlier: the Van-Van doesn't stop often because all the passengers moslty go directly to Tacloban. So taking a Van-Van is a lot more comfortable but expect to pay much more than the rate of jeepney.

So when taking a jeepney, you need to have patience, plus you'll sweat a lot because a jeepney doesn't leave the terminal until the seats are fully occupied. They even let people to get on the top of the jeepney just so they can collect more money. But this is dangerous. The passengers sitting on top of the jeepney pay the same price as the passengers inside. It will take you long time to get home, but taking a jeepney is a lot cheaper than Van-Van, hence most filipino  travellers always take a jeepney.
