The air conditioning was set far too cold. Unfortunately, I was not dressed for an artic adventure and was only wearing short pants and a t-shirt. Suggest anyone not to select seat No. 18. This seat had a vertical bar separating the windows but it stuck right into my side so I was unable to sit straight up in the seat, This was very uncomfortable sitting with my body in a twisted position for 12 hours. The general drive overall was at best very jerking as the driver weaved in and out of the traffic lanes to pass other vehicles. As a result, the driver continually was required to accelerate quickly and then hit the brakes to avoid collisions. Pot holed roads and poor suspension on the bus added to the discomfort as well.

Even though I already have a booking, I still need to queue up because others are lining up to buy their tickets, and my daughter was stressed out for almost an hour due to a lady getting upset with a teller. But after an argue with the lady and teller they settled and the queue starting to move. My daughter start to queue about 8:30 and then im arrived at 9:30 and i got my qr code by 10am. The bus arrived around 11:15 am and we are arrived in daraga exactly 2am almost 15hours travel.

The aircon was not functioning at the back of the bus - it was very very hot. We left 30 minutes late and arrived 1.5 hours late.

I paid my ticket online and yet they give me so much hassle to still get the "boarding pass", asked me to go on a long queue for a process that can be done by one person only. So much hassle. I won't do this again

Travelling by bus essentials

  • If you are planning to travel during the high season, weekends, or national holidays, booking your bus tickets in advance is highly recommended. The demand is at its highest, yet very often, the number of coaches serving the route remains the same. The earlier you reserve your seat, the better. On some routes, you need to secure your ticket more than a month in advance; on others, a couple-of-days advanced booking is enough. During such periods, try to book online beforehand whenever possible, as showing up at the bus station without a ticket may result in many-hours of waiting in the queue or leave you downright stranded.
  • VIP, 1st, Gold, and similar bus tickets are the most expensive option, but they provide a higher level of comfort. Normally the price of such tickets will include wide soft reclining seats, blankets, water and snacks or lunch, and sometimes some toiletries. Upper-class buses travel faster, make fewer stops during the route, and normally provide more spacious seating to their passengers and a better travel experience.
  • Not all buses have an on-board toilet, but generally, for all trips longer than three hours, all operators schedule a bathroom and/or a lunch stop. While operators definitely do their best to keep on-board toilets clean, the smell may be an issue sometimes. For longer trips, booking a seat a bit farther from the toilet may be a good idea. Also, using bathroom stops for your toilet needs is always better than trying to find your balance in an on-board toilet on the run.
  • If you travel by an air-con bus, make sure to pack layers. A hoodie, a warm scarf, or a beanie hat may prove a good idea. Air-conditioning on buses tends to be excessive, and running nose and sore throats abound after even not the longest bus rides.
  • Always use the security belts even if your bus ride attendant or driver does not insist on it. Your safety comes first – for you, for sure. All buses normally are equipped with security belts, but they may be fixed behind your seat. Take time to find the belt and fix it appropriately.
  • To avoid being disturbed by overhead lights, switched on during stops even at night, and too loud music or sound from the on-board entertainment system, have earplugs and a sleeping mask at hand.
  • As a courtesy to other passengers, avoid using strong perfumes or smelly foods. Some foods like cheeses or durians are forbidden to take on-board – check in advance. Alcohol is also prohibited on the majority of buses.
  • Note that if the bus requires refuelling en-route, passengers will be asked to get off the bus. Operators are not allowed to refuel with passengers on board due to safety reasons. Usually, it takes from 5 to 10 minutes and is often combined with a toilet/lunch stop.
  • If not stated otherwise in your tickets, arrive at the bus station 20-30 minutes before departure. It will give you enough time to find the departure platform and check-in. For international trips, you may need more time for check-in and border formalities.
