Transportation from Davao Airport to City Center
Davao or Francisco Bangoy International Airport, serving the city of Davao in the Philippines, has heavy passenger traffic throughout the year.
The most convenient and fastest way to reach the city center from Davao Airport is to take the taxis waiting at the stops at the airport. Make sure you take the taxi from the stand and the taxi has turned on the meter. This 37 km journey takes 25-30 minutes under normal conditions. As long as the plane lands at the airport, you can find a taxi to get on. You can only pay the fare in cash and pesos. It's good to be prepared.
You can also use the Grab application, which is the UBER of the Far East, for your transfer. Thus, you may have the opportunity to make your payment with a credit card.
Although it is not a very economical way, you can also arrange a shuttle transfer that you can reserve in advance. Klook or Viator site will help you with this. Under normal conditions, you can cover the distance of approximately 37 km with the shuttle in 25-30 minutes.
Jeepneys, a minibus-style vehicle used for public transportation in the Philippines, are the most economical way to get from the airport to the city center. To get on the Jeepney, you should walk for about 10 minutes and take the Daang Maharlika Highway, which passes in front of the airport. After waiting here for about 5-10 minutes, a Jeepney will pass. After making sure that the vehicle is heading towards the city, you can get on.
This trip of about 37 km can take an hour, sometimes even longer. Traveling with Jeepneys is also a touristic activity that is on the to-do list in Davao. However, when you see the crowd of minibuses, you may prefer to do this activity in the city, at a shorter distance.
