The trip was okay but what's worst is that i have paid the amount with the total of 1669 however, when they issued me the actual receipt at the counter they entry of just 1274 which has the difference of 395 from the amount i have paid.When i asked the cashier she wasn't aware and told me didn't know about it .024420141548E+34;. How could it be that you are working in a co. Yet you don't know about the charges. Perhaps they should put the actual amount which i have paid of. It is not said online that if i paid this amount that would be lesser in issuance of actual receipt. That should be the same i guess, if there is an internal something like that with the second/third party the amount adjustment will be settled in account internally through your acctg. But you must issue the receipt accdg. To how much we paid for it. Frustrated of ticketing process.

This is my first taking a ride from ALPS and it was pretty comfy because it has a 1x1 feature on its seat, for travelling to your destination, it was pretty fast I would say. Overall it was great I guess.

Well, maganda ang experience ko sa DLTB and medyo na-late lang yung papunta ko ng Legazpi that time and pauwi dun lang naging on time. Hassle lang na inabot ako ng 14 hrs instead of 10 hrs lang

Pictures from the website was not the real photo of the bus we booked. In the website it was 2x1 seats so we booked it, but when we arrived at the terminal the girl who assisted us said that there were no bus with seats that we want that will travel that day. But obviously on the website they have. Also seating arrangements was very confusing on the website.

The change of bus type happened on the day of my trip, from LazyBoy to Greyhound. They did refund the excess fare given the changes.

I was booked online and was not allowed to be picked up at a certain place instead of my convenience. I needed to head to Legazpi Grand Terminal from Ligao Diversion and it took an hour ride by bus carried all my luggages. Very uncomfortable.

Check the timetable before you book your ticket and read other travellers’ reviews to choose the trip that suits you best.

Here is the list of operators serving the route: .
How far is Manila from Legazpi?
If travelling by bus, you will cover the distance of 659 km between Manila and Legazpi.
How long does it take to get from Manila to Legazpi by bus?
Buses normally need between 9h 41m and 13h 10m hours to get to Legazpi from Manila. Note that the travel time is for your reference only and can depend on different factors such as traffic and weather conditions. Heavy rainfalls almost inevitably make the trip longer due to poor visibility or floods. Road and surface repairs which happen quite often, result in detours and longer travel times. Major national holidays, long weekends, or peak season periods may cause delays both in departures and arrivals – plan accordingly to avoid disappointment, especially if you have further connections and a tight schedule.
On this route, Legaspi St Jude Transport Lines offers the fastest service. DLTBCo buses usually take the longest time to complete the journey.
Remember, though, that tickets offering the shortest travel time are normally the most expensive ones. Yet it pays to spend a bit more to ensure your bus goes direct without additional stops and uses highways instead of local roads.
How much does it cost to get from Manila to Legazpi by bus?
The price of your bus ticket will depend not only on the distance you need to cover but on the class of your coach. E.g. expect to shell out more for VIP or sleeper buses while ordinary buses though being the cheapest option, often are a compromise on comfort and travel time. Of course, they do their job, too, and can be the only option if you hop on/off in the middle of the route.
Anyway, travelling by bus between Manila and Legazpi remains an affordable option. The cheapest ticket is offered by ALPS The Bus and costs PHP 1,210. A Isarog Line's ticket will set you back PHP 1,210 on average.
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.
