The price for the bus and ferry rides aren't always fixed. Like on our last travel during off-peak season, we paid P50 for the bus going to Hagnaya at 6 am and P135 for the ferry going to Sta. Fe, Bantayan. On the trip back to Cebu, it was P140 for the ferry and P70 for the bus.
In the Island, there's no problem getting a transportation if you want to roam around like going to the market or restaurants since there are plenty of pedicabs waiting anywhere. If you look like a tourist, local or foreign, the drivers are extremely eager to pick you up. And they even follow you around while you walk if ever you decline riding their pedicab which can get reallyyyy annoying. A simple NO won't usually drive them away, you have to be firmer. Regarding the fare, it should not be more than P30 if it's within Sta. Fe. A local said that the normal fare is P5 per person but most pedicab drivers would charge "tourists" with P10 or more. It's not much of a huge price but hey, you can still bargain if you want. P15 for 2 persons for a ride from the pier to the market/nearby resorts would be fair enough.
However, if you want to go anywhere in the island without the fuzz of riding a pedicab, there are always motorcycles for rent which you can drive yourself. Motorcycles can be rented for a number of hours or for a day but usually you will be the one to load it up with gas which is available at almost everywhere. This would be the best option if you want to tour around and go to Bantayan town or Madridejos. The roads aren't complicated and locals are helpful when you ask for directions.
