The bus was a hour late. And even after getting to the terminal it waited a long time before leaving. It then went to 2 more terminals to get passengers, WHICH WAS NEVER MENTIONED AS OPTIONS. Driving was kinda bad too; too many sudden breaks and turns.

As it was my first time to take Penafrancia and to Bicol I was very excited about the trip. The trip to Bicol was good. The seats were spacious ( seat no. 14) and there is plenty of legroom Surprisingly there was no pocket for snacks or drinks. There was no video playing, no wifi coverage and there was no USB socket to plug into and charge the device. in this time and age of internet. Most buses have these features and is badly missed in a 14 hour trip like this. While most of the time the ride was rough and bumpy. Kudos to the driver for keeping us safe. On the trip going back to Manila this time Of was on seat #17. It was in front of the WC and there was a metal barrier/railing in front of me. Not only there was no pocket for snacks and drinks. There was no legroom at all. It was so tight that I was forced to put my overnight bag in the bus compartment below. With tight space. The seats are not as wide/spacious as on my first bus coming to Legazpi. The seats are narrow like on a regular bus. So trip began and the ride was bumpy and rough as well. But to make matters most the toilet started smelling. And i was in front of it so it was horrible. I did not enjoy the whole experience. The buses are noticeably older. I must admit I did not enjoy the experience at all.

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.
