When we exited Puerto Princesa Airport, we had to wait for the driver. We called and sent several messages asking where he was, but nobody was able to tell us exactly where to find him, even though the meeting point was clearly stated on our ticket. They could simply have told us: “Please check your ticket.” Instead, we spent 30 minutes calling and looking for the driver outside in 30°C heat, carrying all our heavy luggage. Once we finally got into the minibus, things got even worse. There were far too many passengers and far too much luggage. The bags were stacked dangerously high and kept falling throughout the journey. We had almost no space or comfort. The journey was supposed to take 3 hours, but it ended up taking 6 hours. We left Puerto Princesa Airport at 1:30 PM and only arrived in Port Barton at 7:00 PM. On top of that, there were problems with one of the wheels. The minibus didn’t even have a spare tyre, which meant we had to drive at around 20 km/h for almost 2 hours. Overall, I am extremely disappointed with this experience. The organisation, comfort, safety and journey time were all unacceptable. I would definitely not recommend this service.

De rit vraagt je een halfuur van te voren te zijn, terwijl ze er zelf 5 minuten van te voren zijn. Vervolgens rijd je 15 minuten later dan gepland weg. En moet je ook in Puerta Princessa zelf nog 2 personen ophalen. Waardoor we met 1 uur vertraging weg reden, dat is voor ons geen probleem, maar wel gek. Vervolgens gaat de chauffeur heel veel gas geven om de gemaakte tijd in te halen. En moet hij nog stoppen voor een lunch. Misschien typisch filipijns, voor ons een nieuwe wereld

The bus left arround 6pm instead of 5pm. We entered The bus at 5 so we had to wait for an hour without The busdriver explaining anything

The minivan was small and cramped - I’m 6ft 2, was sat in the back by the wheel, couldn’t even sit straight. All the luggage was placed next to me, and then a couple brought a cat onboard for the journey - I’m allergic to cats. The cat also poo’d in its carrier bag, stunk the whole van out. Not much information was given by the driver, when we arrived it was just like get out, and that was it.

Travelling by van essentials

Ensure to check carefully from where your van departs. In many cases vans are stationed not at the city main bus station but elsewhere. Individual van operators may have their own van stops located anywhere, and one and the same operator may sell tickets to their vans from different stops. If you are planning a bus-van connection, be sure you understand where to catch your van as it is easy to assume that vans leave from the same station where buses arrive. No, it is not necessarily so!
There are different types of vans accommodating from 9 to 15 or more passengers. While on certain routes you have no alternative, on others you can choose. The rule of thumb – fewer seats mean more leg space and more comfort. As well as more money for your ticket. But this is probably the case when it is worth investing into your seat a bit more.
Vans accommodating more passengers are often cramped and do not provide any additional space for your luggage. In many cases your ticket will include only one piece of luggage, often with limited weight. If you travel with huge suitcases or backpacks you may want – or even need – to buy an extra seat for your luggage. Before booking an extra seat for your luggage though do check with the operator if they allow it. If you did buy a separate seat for your luggage, and the driver during the way tries to pick up an extra passenger to put on a “vacant” seat, insist on right to use it as you paid for it.
There are obviously no on board toilets in vans but if your journey lasts over two or three hours there will normally be one or more bathroom stop(s) enroute. During the bathroom stop, take a note of your van number plate when you get off. It will make it easier for you to find the van among similar vehicles and in an unhappy case (hypothetically!) of van leaving without you, you can at least report it to the operator.
Van drivers are notorious for their driving style. Though many companies enforce strict speed limits on their vehicles they are often not observed. This is probably a major downside of van travel in some countries. Anyway, if speed limits are violated do not be shy to ask the driver to go slower. Normally there will be an information plate with the telephone numbers to call if your driver violates traffic rules – report each such case without hesitation. Also, do leave your review if not satisfied with the service to warn other travellers.
It is compulsory to use belts for all the van passengers. Even if your driver does not insist on it, use the belt for your own safety. Belts are sometimes fixed behind your seat – do not hesitate to release them and use as they are intended to be used.
Many vans do not have scheduled departures but depart when full. Sometimes waiting periods can be long, especially if you happen to come immediately after the previous van has departed or just in the end of the day when there are not so many passengers. Always make sure you understand whether your ticket is for a scheduled trip or otherwise. Normally operators who allow online booking of their tickets, provide scheduled service meaning your van will depart on time no matter how many passengers show up for the trip.
