Great Buses, Philippines

Displayed:   times.

There are many buses to choose from in the Philippines. Generally there isn't a Central Bus station though which can lead to some confusion on getting the bus that you want. Quite often the bus that passes you doesn't go to the destination that you want. There will be a sign card on the front telling the final destination and if your not sure if your destination is going to be passed by the bus just ask the bus driver before getting on.The buses are all privatized and for the most part each have there own stops in each town. But if you need help just ask any local and they should be able to help you out. On the plus side you can flag down just about any bus from the roadside and hop on it. The only buses that don't stop for you are the full buses or a bus that has been chartered. Unless you are way off the beaten path you will see buses pass all the time. This bus in the picture was the one that we took from Sagada to Baguio and for that route there aren't a lot of buses so we were lucky to catch the one that we did. As there are only 1 or two buses per day that do that route. We were flagged down all along the way by people that would ride for matbe 15-20 minutes and then get off at another village. Buses are very cheap to ride on. They can be a bit scarey as the drivers don't have a fear of crashing!! They pass on curves and drive much to fast!! All drivers will be wearing some sort of religous icon to Protect them from danger
