Since Cebu was placed under general community quarantine (GCQ) from the first day of this month, the Cebu City Government initiated a “Libreng Sakay” project for the Locally Stranded Individuals (LSIs) who wish to go back to Cebu City.
The local government partnered with several local ferry companies to make this project possible and provide free ferry transportation to Cebuanos from key cities or provinces in the Philippines going to Cebu City.
In this guide, we are enlisting shipping companies and the corresponding routes that are part of this ‘Libreng Sakay’ project.
