What are the Bus Classes & Prices of Ceres Transport?
The price of your bus trip will depend both on the destination and the class of your ticket. Note that not all ticket classes are available on certain routes yet for longer trips there is almost always a good choice of options. Opt for a sleeper coach for the most convenient overnight trip. Sleeper buses are usually equipped with berths or soft reclining seats, feature an onboard toilet and your ticket may also include other perks like snacks or even a lunch. Taking a night bus is also a good idea if you want to save on your hotel room. During the day an express service is often the best value for money as it makes less stops than an ordinary or standard class bus and travels faster. On some routes it may be crucial to choose the right class as, say, an ordinary or second class bus may need some 6 hours to cover the distance the first class or express bus travels in two hours!
Pros & Cons of Bus Travel
Pros of Bus Travel
-
Buses usually boast the widest network of destinations covered. They travel to the places you cannot get to by plane or even by train
-
Travelling by bus is easy – there is no need to arrive to the bus terminal much in advance, and the check-in is usually a very fast formality opposite to air travel
-
Bus tickets are very affordable. Yes, there are costly first class or VIP options but is you are on a budget, bus is the first means of transportation you have to think about
-
At the same time, there are different classes of service to suit any budget. If you are after a higher level of comfort, buses get you covered, too.
Cons of Bus Travel
-
Intercity bus terminals can be located outside the city centre in the outskirts. It means you will need to calculate extra time and money to get there. In certain destinations getting from the bus terminal can cost you more than you would expect because only a limited number of transportation companies is allowed to serve the route – and prices may be inflated.
-
During busy weekends or high season buses serving some tourist destinations may run out of schedule and require advanced booking.
-
While buses are not as weather dependent as ferries, bus trips can also be delayed or cancelled due to bad weather or road conditions – keep it in mind if travelling during certain seasons or to certain destinations.

Sir IIt was expensive. According to the conductor, when they saw the price of my online it was a little more expensive compared to when you buy the ticket at the bus terminal. Likewise, there were separate payment for each ferry. And we got many delays. So from Cubao to Cebu City, we had an accumulated time of 45 hours of travel. Very long travel hours. But we came safe to our destination.

ARBHIEROSE D6am on the online, so we arrive early as 4am. But the departure time is 11am! 😡 Online booking is way more expensive. It should be a 1 way trip however because of the delay we have no choice but to go inter island from batangas port to calatagan mindoro port to roxas mindoro port. The trip makes you feel exhausted. Better to book flight than to go on roro boat trip.

Gabor BBus was comfy, only left 20min late arrived on time. Printing the voucher seems utterly useless and wasteful. The driver/ticket inspector could have just looked at my phone to confirm my booking. The person at the help desk refused to print my voucher. There's a printing shop just at the corner where you can print (around 10pesos). Allow extra time for that.

Rouel LThe bus has a very limited baggage capacity. The trip took 3-4 hours since the bus stopped at Lipa, Tanauan. And Sto Tomas. I arrived at the bus station before 12:30, and the bus is already full. I have to wait and carry my baggage bags since there is no nice place or even chairs to sit down while waiting for the next bus. The bus left past 1.

Monika EThe bus arrived on time, but then we waited an hour to depart, I guess they tried to fill the bus up instead of going half empty.
So if I was dependent on punctual arrival I would be late
Overall trip was OK, bus was comfortable, but bit cold with AC on full power, couldn't turn it down, so have a emergency hoodie or something just in case....

Joachim OAll was good, but when we want to enter the bus they want to have a printed voucher. I said I don't need because I have the voucher on my phone but the man said he need it.
When we work digital I can't understand that they couldn't scan it.
So I send it to him with Facebook and it works.
