Manila to Batangas Destination Reviews

RL
The 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.

The 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....

I boarded the bus without any hassle. The bus conductor assist me with my luggage. They even offered me an earlier trip without additional fees since I arrived in the bus station ahead of my schedule.

Seems like the booking website is not aligned sa bus liner. They're asked for a printed copy of the reciept at di daw pwede hindi printed. Not comfortable. Di din alam ng driver kungkanino ibibigay yung printed reciept.

The trip was delayed half and hour (meaning that the time in our tickets was not correct) and the online tickets were not valid, so we were requested to pay extra for them to print them.
