About this crossing

Speed is what separates the three lines here: Aznar's WaterTaxi 1 takes 45 minutes on its two daily runs, FastCat 90 and Lite Ferries two hours. The crossing runs east over the Tañon Strait, which separates Negros from Cebu, and lands at Toledo on Cebu's west coast, not in Cebu City, which lies on the far side of the island. It doubles as a vehicle ferry, FastCat's catamarans being roll-on/roll-off. On the return from Toledo, Lite Ferries leaves at the same six times as here, its two ships swapping ends, while FastCat runs two hours behind its San Carlos departures.
