Salute to Drivers of Victory Liner!! They are very good in driving skillls and I can sleep during our trip. The bus is comfy, clean and cold. But one thing i observed during late dispatching the terminal is crowded and lack of comfortable seats in waiting area. But the main office during daytime is big and clean also the bathroom. I hope that you will improve your dispatching area during midnight. But over all experience is superb and amazing. Highly recommended.

It was comfortable. It was a little annoying every time the bus goes over the speed limit, it beeps until it goes under the speed limit. When you are trying to take a nap, it is very noticeable.

The first class bus had enough space to move comfortably, but since it was a long trip it could be better to have a footrest in front for short people (nangangalay ang paa pag tagal nang biyahe dahil naka hang).
