For people looking forward to visiting Palawan, here's the latest fare and rates information to expect when traveling in Palawan using public transportation, plus other tips gathered by Tutubi when he visited Palawan a few weeks ago.

Note that the Puerto Princesa public transportation terminal is at San Jose New Market, a jeepney ride (signboard: New Market, fare PhP12.00) or tricycle ride from Puerto Princesa Airport (fare: around PhP15.00)

At San Jose New Market, you can ride jeepneys, buses and vans to several points of Palawan.
