Before booking your ticket, read other travellers’ reviews to choose the best option.

What are the Bus Classes & Prices of RSL Bus?

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.

The men’s Washroom in Cubao terminal was so dirty, dark and gross. The trip itself was fine but the bus seats (Elite) are very uncomfortable. The reclining seat was not working while the foot rest was broken. The temperature was very cold and you need a blanket to survive the trip (too bad for me and wife cuz we didn’t have one). The driver was wearing a thick jacket so it was ok for him. Can’t understand why not just increase the temperature to make it comfortable for everyone. All in all, We were not satisfied and I do not recommend this bus.

The bus I took was a bus with the code ROYNAG. I am supposed to really write a letter to the management. WE left Manila at around 9 p.m. Along the way, there seems to be a problem with the AC and the bus. We stopped several times for the drivers to repair the said problem. At 5:49 a.m. the bus stopped again in Calauag Quezon and it seems that the drivers can no longer fix the problem. Stayed for 15 minutes then, one of the drivers shouted that those who will go to Naga can take the Raymond Bus (ordinary). Since I need to go to work I need to be in Naga at 8 a.m. So I along with other passengers took the Raymond Bus. We thought that since the RSL/Isarog bus was at fault the company will pay for the Raymond Bus ticket but the condcutor asked from us a Php220.00 fare. We arrived in Naga City at around 9:30 a.m. My concerns: 1. I chose to pay a higher amount for my ticket going to Naga for convenience since I have work in the morning but unfortunately, the opposite thing happened 2. I was super late for work because of what happened 3. I paid extra 220 pesos for an ordinary bus from Quezon to Naga City. It was super inconvenient I hope to hear from the management soon.

We were unnecessarily waiting on the bus at at least 1hour at the garage of Peñafrancia in Naga City without so much as an explanation why. There were so many stops where the driver wouldn’t even inform passengers if it was a meal stop-over of any sort.

The bus arrived after 3 hours vs. the stated departure time. We reached Manila after 16hrs of travel. The price we paid is not worth it. The bus is small and not that clean. The kids seated at our backs are very nosiy

Good thing I was able to book online, I didn't have to go through a long line just to get the ticket. I headed straight away to the online payment verification counter and I received the actual ticket in less than 5 minutes. Only problem was that the bus departed late, but other than that, everything was smooth and hassle-free.

Overall the trip was ok, I arrived safe and sound. The bus arrived 30min late and the boarding scheme was a bit unorganized because the bus needed to load passengers on a spot far from the booking office. We had to cross the busy street that didn't even have a pedestrian crossing to get on the bus. Bus temp got too cold during the trip. The stops had clean toilets.

It was my 1st time to be in that Penafrancia bus deluxe, most of the time, I am travelling in a ordinary air-condition bus and there's no way i will not vomit and feel dizzy. But this time, I felt safe and I was deeply asleep, I was surprised when we reached the Grand Terminal. Thanks.

The toilet inside the bus is broken and the seat given to my papa, senior citizen, is not comfortable. Bad experience from RSL Bus.
