Great way to speed up the process. Straight from airport to Pasay partas bus station. Knowing you have a confirmed seat makes it less stressful. Everything was a smooth process

Booking online is now my go-to way. The terminal office was crowded, and passengers were trying to squeeze in to get a ride. After booking online, my seat was reserved, and the transportation was a Luxury Bus. I was able to rest during the travel, and arrived even earlier than expected.

My first experience to take this bus and the experience was great from online booking to checking in. By the time I checked in the clerk asked for a hard copy of my receipt which I didn’t have but had my confirmation # and QR code sent to me to my email should already be enough to get my ticket. Then bus conductor kept picking up passengers way too full where the passengers standing up being on my side of seat holding too many bags with them hitting me.

I booked the one with cr. But the actual bus has no cr. So maybe the price should have changed to less.
