Buses are the most affordable means of transport with a large number of terminals across the country and convenient timetables to help you plan your trip. Buses is a convenient option both for those who travel on a shoestring budget and those who do not want to compromise on comfort. Cherry Bus offers bus service with an online reservation available. Before booking your ticket, read other travellers’ reviews to choose the best option.
What are the Main Stations of Cherry Bus?
Cherry Bus operates buses to and from the following stations:
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.
Very reliable booking. Fast and easy. No problems at all. Best way to get to El Nido from PP. Definitely better than taking a van (vomit comet).

Great! Comfortable, spacious, modern bus, clean, great view of the passing scenery. BYO tasty sandwiches or something for the trip before going to the bus depot, wouldn't want to rely on the food at the three truck stops.

The bus was fast, maybe too fast. Racing through tight mountain switchbacks at 50-80+ kmph left us on the verge of vomiting during most of the trip - and personally I never feel motion sickness so that is quite the feat! There is a speed readout above the driver and when it exceeds 75mph it flashes a light and beeps audibly - it was beeping often! Don't expect to sleep on the night bus, you are constantly thrown left to right and right to left making any semblance of sleep impossible. At least one passenger threw up and the gentleman beside me was sweating bullets despite the ac being fairly cold.

Very comfortable bus, if it wasn't for the road I would have slept the whole way. We left exactly at the appointed time, arrived 30 minutes earlier. Satisfied with everything except the terrible air conditioning, I had to wear a jacket).

Had to tighten seatbelt to stay in seat. Driver goes to fast on curves and very rough road. Driver, conductor were friendly and helpful. Seating was good with lots of leg room. Bus needs better suspension for passenger comfort. Will travel on CHEERY again. Thank you.

I recommend it

Very comfortable trip. The only bad thing would be the 3 stops we made, as it made us arrive half an hour late.

Don't buy your ticket on 12go or online. The bus never fills up and it is 100 plus peso cheaper to book your ticket st the El nido bus terminal!

Definitely worth spending a little extra for the elite class. The seats were huge with loads of legroom. The tv played decent movies but were still easy enough to ignore if you have earphones. The journey itself was much better being a bus, although I still got tossed around about it was better than the van. Would definitely do this again.

Comfy seats and aircon was good. The driver just drove a little too fast for it to be a comfortable ride. Granted the journey only took 5hrs, but I'd have preferred it be 6hrs for it to have felt less travel sick and as if I'd been hurled around along the way.

Comfy air-con bus ride. Took about 6hrs in total. Stopped 3 times for toilet breaks + food for about 15mins. The driver didn't mind taking some corners a bit fast so you often are thrown about a bit, so put your bag up in the overhead storage rather than have it keep sliding around on the floor.

Trip took 30 minutes longer than posted time but made generous time stops (3) along the way so not too bad. Only violence movies are shown. Driver and staff were professional. Can buy tickets at station for reduced price versus websites.

Maybe I'm picking a little but I drive buses for a living and I know the road is windy but I would prefer a slightly slower trip to make the ride more comfortable, especially for the elite service. Otherwise all was good ????????

Pictures showed a comfortable bus with comfortable reclining seats. Instead I ended up in an old line bus with worn down seats and little leg space. Stops every 50 meters to drop of the next person who doesn't want to walk 50 meters.

The trip was fairly comfortable with movies, good legspace and they got us to el nido on time. They stopped alot, more than we expected, didn’t give alot of information in english so we didn’t know if we could go off or not. And they made us feel stressed to go on the bus even tho it was an hour left until take off.

The bus took 6 hours to arrive. It makes several stops of 5 minutes to rest and go to the bathroom, and another longer one of 15 minutes to have dinner. The restrooms where it stops are 5 pesos per person. The bus we took had air conditioning and very spacious seats to sleep and lie down. The only bad thing is the last 100 kms of curves. In general, if you want to save money on the trip, it is the best transportation.

Very confortable bus and check-in, however it is stated that the travel from El Nido to Puerto Princesa and vice-versa takes 3h25m, however it was performed in 5,5 hours. Consider a delay of 3 hours when booking your flights.
