Below is the picture of the Ceres Tours Bus (air-conditioned bus) bound for San Carlos City.  Buses bound for Cebu City also passes by the town of Salvador Benedicto then proceed to San Carlos Port where the RoRo will take the bus to Toledo City, Cebu.

There are also Ceres Tours buses that depart from the Southbound Bus Terminal to Cebu City via Canlaon City.  Again, just ask the Ticket Counter for the exact schedule of trips.   Meaning, it is better to visit the Ceres Terminal to personally check the schedule of buses before your trip.
