    Getting from Silay Airport (Bacolod–Silay International Airport) to Bacolod City

    Bacolod–Silay International Airport (BSIA) is located in Silay City, about 15 kilometers north of Bacolod City. The trip between the cities usually takes 30–45 minutes, depending on traffic. Here are your main options:

    1. Airport Shuttle Vans

       • Vans and shuttles are available right outside the arrival area.

       • Fare: Around ₱150–₱200 per person.

       • They drop passengers at select points in Bacolod, including major hotels and malls.

    2. Taxis & Ride-hailing Apps

       • Metered taxis and ride-hailing apps offer a more direct ride.

       • Fare: ₱500–₱700 to downtown Bacolod.

       • Best if you have luggage or prefer convenience.

    3. Private Transfers

       • Some hotels and tour operators arrange airport pick-ups.

       • Ideal for groups or travelers wanting a hassle-free transfer.

    4. Jeepney + Tricycle (Budget Option)

       • Take a tricycle from the airport to Silay City proper (₱50–₱70).

       • From there, ride a jeepney or bus bound for Bacolod North Terminal (₱20–₱30) and transfer to Bacolod jeepneys (₱12-₱15).

       • Most economical, but less comfortable with baggage.

    Travel Tip:
    If it’s your first time in Bacolod, the shuttle vans, taxis, and ride-hailing apps are the most straightforward options. Jeepneys are great if you want a taste of local commuting.
