    how many hours is san carlos to bacolod?

    Audrey, the travel time from San Carlos to Bacolod is about 2.5 hours via Don Salvador Benedicto, which is the shorter and more scenic mountain route.

    There is another route from Bacolod passing through Silay, Victorias, Sagay, etc. until you reach San Carlos but that would take longer and I’m not sure about the travel duration, maybe an hour more than via the Salvador Benedicto route.

    You can read more about it in this post:

    grabe pud ka dugay na aning mga schedule inyong gi post. imagine, 2009 pa nga mga schedule…. wala man gani mo bag-ong sked cebu-kabankalan-bacolod via mabinay and vv, or cebu-dumaguete or hinobaan (kon naa). Unsaon man namo pag keep tract sa mga schedules ninyo kon dili mo ganahan mag-update sa inyo schedule dri sa internet. maayo pa di na lang mo mag post. kadako sa differensya sa mga trips ninyo….. huna huna daw? bisan gani inyong telephone number sa inyo terminal wala man gani….. unsa kahay maayo kon butangan pud ninyo telephon number para ma guided ang mga suking pasahero ninyo.

    Usa pa, kana bang dispatcher ninyo sa North Terminal nga na assign sa Cebu-Bacolod via Mabinay nga trip ninyo (2:00 o’clock am), labad man na nga tawo. dagko kaayo ang pangayo sa baggage sa mga pasahero. mo reklamo gani ang mga passenger, itudlo niya ang office kay mao man kuno ang nag boot sa charging. Murag dili mao no? try day daw tiktiki ninyo (mga dagko sa Ceres) para masakpan jud ninyo…. looy mga pasahero oi…
