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. Isarog Line 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 Isarog Line?
Isarog Line 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.

Overall, the trip was good but could have been improved in some areas, e.g. earlier assistance on the counter, earlier or on time departure, fewer stops to get passengers, and better dining stops (more food options).

This was a very poor experience. The bus broke down and my son Elio was forced to wait 8 hours for a replacement bus.
I cannot recommend this bus company and strongly hope they improve their reliability and passenger care.

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.

Safe and very good drivers. When it comes.to stop over, hopefully you guys give the driver atleast 3hrs interval so that they can rest and stretch there legs, and also so.that the passengers is not getting dehydrated as the stop over are only got 2 stops to get bevearage and food.

We were not informed that we would be transferred to a different bus. We specifically purchased a single-seater, but we were told to take the vacant two-seater in a different bus. We were never informed of the changes before our trip and we insisted on being seated in a single-seater, we were told that there was no available seat.

The bus has damage when we're in bicol so we were transferred to another bus and waited like 1hr . In the given ticket in pdf, it says there that the baggage limit is 15kg but in the counter they said it was 20kg so I'm kinda thankful that I don't need to pay but it looks like I paid more than other passengers. The ride is not really worth the price. The ac is too cold.
The operators are easy to talk too.

Booking was fast, confirmation was efficient.
Bus (from Albay) came before the time schedule.
Office guard was kind enough to allow us to leave our small bags while we went to grab a bite, go to the toilet (you might want to consider having this service available)
Seats were small but given the way your driver drove, it was a snug fit.
Because we got in from Naga and your bus came from Albay, there was no room in the overhead compartment for me/ my seat. (Not all passengers think of other passengers so having your staff keep a lookout would be helpful.)
While the time schedule indicated these were just estimates, from a claim of the "fastest travel time" of 7 plus hours to 9 plus hours (got off at Alabang) is a misrepresentation.
Assumed that because of the "fast travel time" there would be no or limited stopovers, we had two. One just outside of Naga (30-45 minutes into the trip) for 30 minutes then another near Lucena for a toilet stopover (quick).
Driver did not care for the passengers as he drove jerkily and erratic:
Sudden acceleration and braking – pressing on the gas or brake abruptly, instead of smoothly.
Sharp or frequent swerving – quick lane changes and a lot of unnecessary zigzagging.
Inconsistent speed – speeding up and slowing down without rhythm, made me nauseous.
Poor cornering – taking turns too fast or too tightly, causing the body to lurch.
Stop-and-go motion –shows the driver is impatient and constantly jolts the vehicle forward.

The personnels in the booking office could hardly find my booking number. Its needed so they can issue me my ticket. They said, if the booking is done thru 12go, its like that.
The office is very crowded and they dont seem to have the mastery of what they do. Service is taking so much time.

It was a great experience but the trip took us 15 hours from Legaspi City to Alabang, can you imagine that. and then my celphone got low battery and the charger located at my seat no. 7 of bus 212 Bicol Isarog was busted, it did not work. One more thing, your ticketing attendant after giving me a ticket said its OK to proceed to bus waiting area but when I was about to board the conductor told me to get the sticker of my luggage to the ticketing area, so I need to go back to that ticketing are to ask for the sticker. Thats my experience.

Driver definitely has a racing license but brought us safely to Manila. Seats were comfortable, but don’t choose last row. We had enough breaks. The bus arrived a little bit late but all in all good value for the money.

I took the sleeper bus and was happy with the service. I just wish that you guys could offer blankets on the trip because your ACs are so cold! Plus it's a bed but there are no blankets offered? Genesis liners always offered blankets for their lazy boy lines going to Baler which really set them apart and made me give them a 5 star service.

The trip was quite fast been on the destination on time... how ever the conductor and the drivers are not hospitable.and friendly. at first i was struggling with my lugguge as i was placing it in the compartment, the conductor was there and he was just instructing me instead of giving a hands to lift my lugguge. Then on the bus en route. I ask if they can adjust the a/c since it was too cold that time i managed to shut it off but still there are blowers at the sides(up). They just told me that they cannot adjust the temperature anymore...its too cold though. It was my first time riding the Isarog lines(Bus) And well its a good experience riding but i was a little upset about the service of the crew...

No actual terminal. We need to walk to the middle of the highway to get into the bus. No CR in the ticketing office too. Well other than that, basically it's still good there's an office there to accommodate passengers.
