    just a regular buses/vans will do for now besides not too many passengers and flights to really keep a train or metrorail busy…besides ILOILO should improve their roads first making it 2-3 lanes each way at least with visible lines/signs/markers for easy commute e.g. cars,buses and trucks n different lanes….kag di na pwede magbulad sa kalsada!!!??!!!

    Having a special train for the airport to Iloilo City and vice-versa does not sound financially feasible considering that flight frequencies are not that many yet. It takes for Iloilo to be like HK and KL level to make it financially viable and that will be like eons before it can be realized. The best option for now is to develop a regular bus run between the airport and the city with designated bus stops which is actually being adopted by emerging airport worldwide that does not have the same dimension as that of major airports like Naia or even Clark.
