Magnum Express is conveniently located in the center island of Limketkai. We struck gold after learning they have daily trips to Bukidnon at Php 249 a seat. Hooray- we didn't have to endure a 1.5 hr commute in a passenger jeepney + hiring a motor bike. The shuttle leaves exactly at 9 am with or without passengers! We had the whole coaster to ourselves and hopped back on at 4:30 pm for CDO. Our flight was 10 pm the same day so upon returning we booked for our seats to the airport at Php 199 each. Remember to allot 1.5 hrs to get to CDO Airport on top of your check-in time. Their waiting lounge is clean and equipped with CCTVs (rides too!). The fleet is also monitored by a GPS system. You can even leave your luggage behind their counter (comes with claim tags) and just pick them up before boarding the shuttle. read more

I rode the Magnum Express shuttle from the Cagayan de Oro airport to the City and then back for my return flight. Here are my experiences and thoughts: LOCATION: At the airport, you collect your baggage and walk out the front doors and across the street. Magnum Express is right there with other shuttle services. Stick with Magnum Express. The cost of the shuttle was 199 pesos (about $4 at the time I was there). I paid the fee, got my receipt and they tagged my bag and put it on the shuttle. The shuttle is a van with each aisle having 2 seats on the drivers side and one seat on the passenger side. The last row is a bench that seats four people. The shuttle dropped me off at the Centrio Mall but has other drop off locations posted. When you want to return to the Airport, go to Magnum Express Terminal, which is located at the EAST entrance to the Limketkai Mall. No one seems to know where it is, so just tell the taxi you want the EAST entrance, and it is across from the entrance. If you want to find it while you are at the mall, go out the exit that has the Mercury Drug store on the left side. TERMINAL: The little terminal is very clean, well air-conditioned and has very strong WIFI. The shuttles DO NOT have wifi as some places advertise. You can also buy snacks and drinks here, but with the mall 2 yards away, you can pay a better price at the shops and drug stores there. RIDE: The ride to CDO was very long because of a collapsed bridge as you approach the city. It took us about 90 minutes to reach Opol, and another hour to get into the city because it was a Saturday night and there was crazy traffic. There is nothing to do but sit back and relax. You are in aircon and leather seats while most of the others in buses have neither convenience. The shuttle was about 80% full. I had a two-seat row to myself and was quite comfortable. The return from CDO to the airport on Sunday morning at 10 a.m. left on time and was full of people. The traffic snag from the bridge construction was still a problem, but did not take nearly as long to get through. We arrived at the airport in about 1 hour. All in all, this is the best way to get from the airport into CDO. It is clean, punctual, cheap and professional. read more
