Transit Lines
PH Buses & Terminals-Routes, Fares, Schedules & Destinations.
Moving Between Regions in the Philippines.
Metro Manila’s provincial bus system is organized by destination, with specific hubs for North and South travel. Note that many individual terminals in Cubao and Pasay have moved operations to integrated exchanges like PITX or VGC to ease city traffic.

Tactical “PITX Survival” Intel
The “Level” Strategy:
- Ground Floor (GF): Primary for Short-haul (Cavite, Batangas, Laguna) and the EDSA Carousel.
- Second Floor (2F): Primary for Long-haul (Bicol, Visayas, Mindanao) and Northern Luzon (Baguio).
Ticketing SOP:
- In 2026, PITX is strictly “No Ticket, No Entry” to the boarding area.
- Passengers must buy tickets at the Centralized Counters (Booths A–H) on the Ground Floor or 2nd Floor before heading to their Gate.
2026 Special Alert:
⚠️ Operational Note (Jan 2026):Always check the “Live Schedule” on the PITX website if there is a storm. Routes to Bicol (Gate 4) and Visayas (Gate 2) are the first to be suspended when sea travel is canceled.
| Destination | Bus Line | Terminal Location | First Trip | Fare (Est.) |
| Lucena City | JAC Liner | Sen. Gil Puyat Ave. | 02:00 AM | ₱270 – ₱310 |
| Batangas Pier | JAM Liner | Sen. Gil Puyat Ave. | 01:00 AM | ₱200 – ₱250 |
| Baguio City | Victory Liner | EDSA Pasay | 01:15 AM | ₱485 – ₱800 |
| Legazpi (Albay) | DLTB Co. | Sen. Gil Puyat Ave. | 03:30 AM | ₱800 – ₱1,100 |
| Santa Cruz (Laguna) | DLTB / JAC | Sen. Gil Puyat Ave. | 04:00 AM | ₱160 – ₱200 |
| Lipa City | JAM Liner | Sen. Gil Puyat Ave. | 05:00 AM | ₱150 – ₱180 |
| Mauban (Quezon) | JAC Liner | Sen. Gil Puyat Ave. | 04:00 AM | ₱300 – ₱350 |
| Daet (North Cam.) | DLTB Co. | Sen. Gil Puyat Ave. | 06:00 AM | ₱700 – ₱950 |
Tactical Hub Intel: The “Gil Puyat Intersection”
The Layout:
- Northwest Corner: JAC Liner and LLI (Green buses).
- Southwest Corner: DLTB Co. (Red/Grey buses).
- Southeast Corner: JAM Liner (Yellow buses).
- Victory Liner: This terminal is actually a 5-minute jeepney ride away on EDSA Pasay (near Tramo), not directly at the Buendia intersection.
Connectivity Hacks:
- LRT-1 Access: The Gil Puyat Station is the “Heart” of this hub.
- To BGC/Makati: There are Green Frog Hybrid Buses and jeepneys right under the LRT station that head straight to Makati CBD/Ayala.
- To MOA: Jeepneys labeled “MOA” pass through every 2 minutes.
The “Midnight Operator” Note
Unlike PITX, which is fully enclosed, these are open-street terminals.
Survival Tip:If you arrive after midnight, stay inside the brightly lit terminal waiting areas. The 7-Eleven at the JAC Liner terminal is the “de facto” safe zone for early-morning travelers waiting for the first trip.
| Destination | Bus Line | Terminal Location | Frequency | Fare (Est.) |
| Baguio City | Victory Liner | EDSA Northbound | Every 30-45 mins | ₱600 – ₱900 |
| Pangasinan (Dagupan) | Five Star | EDSA Northbound | Hourly (24/7) | ₱450 – ₱600 |
| Cabanatuan / San Jose | Baliwag Transit | EDSA Northbound | 04:00 AM – 09:00 PM | ₱250 – ₱400 |
| Vigan / Laoag | adept | Aurora Blvd (Near EDSA) | Specialized Sched | ₱800 – ₱1,400 |
| Tuguegarao | Victory / Five Star | EDSA Northbound | 03:00 AM – 11:00 PM | ₱850 – ₱1,200 |
| Batangas Pier | ALPS / Solid North | Araneta Bus Port | 05:00 AM – 09:30 PM | ₱250 – ₱300 |
| Lucena City | JAC Liner / JAM | Araneta Bus Port | 06:00 AM – 06:00 PM | ₱300 – ₱350 |
| NAIA Terminals | UBE Express | Araneta Bus Port | Every 1-2 Hours | ₱200.00 |
Tactical Hub Intel: The “Cubao Split”
A. The Araneta City Bus Port (The Southward Gate)
- Location: Inside the Araneta Center, near Ali Mall.
- Best for: Southbound travelers (Batangas, Laguna, Quezon) and P2P travelers to NAIA or Central Luzon (Dau).
- Vibe: Air-conditioned, organized, and uses a centralized ticketing system.
B. The EDSA Strip (The Northward Gate)
- Location: Along the EDSA highway, specifically between Aurora Blvd and Main Ave.
- Best for: Northern and Central Luzon (Baguio, Pangasinan, Isabela)
- Vibe: Street-level terminals. Each company (Victory Liner, Five Star, etc.) has its own building. You buy tickets directly at their counters.
The “Operator’s Tip” for 2026
⚠️ 2026 Traffic Note:If you are catching a bus at theEDSA Northbound terminals(like Victory Liner) during rush hour, allow an extra 30 minutes. These buses must merge into the EDSA traffic, which can be brutal between 5:00 PM and 8:00 PM.
| Destination | Bus Line | Terminal Location | Class / Vibe | Fare (Est.) |
| Laoag City | Fariñas Transit | M. dela Fuente St. | Super Deluxe (CR/WiFi) | ₱1,000 – ₱1,200 |
| Tuguegarao | GV Florida | AH Lacson Ave. | Sleeper Class (Beds) | ₱1,100 – ₱1,400 |
| Vigan City | adept | Aurora Blvd (Sampaloc) | Luxury / First Class | ₱800 – ₱1,100 |
| Baguio City | Philippine Rabbit | Avenue (D. Jose) | Regular / Deluxe | ₱600 – ₱850 |
| Banaue (Ifugao) | GV Florida | AH Lacson Ave. | Tourist Deluxe | ₱850 – ₱1,000 |
| Pushing | GV Florida | AH Lacson Ave. | Executive Deluxe | ₱1,200 – ₱1,500 |
| Lucena City | JAC Liner | Avenue (D. Jose) | Regular AC | ₱300 – ₱350 |
| Pangasinan | Five Star | Avenue (D. Jose) | Regular AC | ₱450 – ₱600 |
Tactical Hub Intel: The “LRT Connection”
This cluster is split into two walking zones. You must guide your users to the correct station:
- Zone A: Avenida (The LRT-1 Hub)
- Terminals: Philippine Rabbit, JAC Liner, Genesis.
- Access: Use LRT-1 Doroteo Jose Station. The terminals are a 2-minute walk from the station exit.
- Zone B: Sampaloc (The LRT-2/Spain Hub)
- Terminals: Fariñas, GV Florida, Partas.
- Access: Use LRT-2 Legarda Station (then a short tricycle/jeep ride) or head to the España/UST area.
- Pro Tip: This area is prone to flooding during the rainy season. Check the “Rainy Season Protocol” on your site before heading here!
Operator’s Secret: “The University Anchor”
Commuter Logic: These terminals are located in the “University Belt” (U-Belt). On Fridays and holidays, they are packed with students heading home to the North. MappedAtlas Advice: If traveling on a Friday night, book online 48 hours in advance via the bus line’s website or apps like12Go or IWantSeats.
| Destination | Mode / Line | Terminal Location | Frequency | Fare (Est.) |
| Baguio City | Victory Liner | EDSA Northbound | Every 1-2 Hours | ₱600 – ₱900 |
| Balagtas (Bulacan) | Metrolink Bus | One Street (Near McDo) | 04:00 AM – 10:00 PM | ₱30 – ₱60 |
| Malolos / Hagonoy | Victory / First North | MacArthur Highway | Every 30 mins | ₱50 – ₱90 |
| Angeles (Pampanga) | First North Luzon | MacArthur Highway | Hourly | ₱150 – ₱220 |
| PITX (Southwest) | EDSA Carousel | Monumento Station | 24/7 (Continuous) | ₱15 – ₱75 |
| Valenzuela Loop | Modern Jeepney | SM Monument | Every 5-10 mins | ₱13 – ₱25 |
The “Monumento” Strategy
- The “LRT-1” Pivot: The Monumento LRT-1 station is the fastest way to get to Manila (Avenida/Sampaloc).
- The “Footbridge” Mastery: Use the massive circular footbridge around the Monumento circle to switch between the EDSA Carousel (Southbound) and the Bulacan Bus Terminals (Northbound).
| Destination | Bus Line / Mode | Terminal Location | Schedule | Fare (Est.) |
| Makati (Greenbelt) | RRCG P2P | Alabang Town Center | 05:30 AM – 09:30 PM | ₱110.00 |
| BGC (Market! Market!) | HM Transport P2P | VTX / South Station | 06:00 AM – 08:00 PM | ₱100.00 |
| Ortigas (Starmall) | RRCG P2P | VTX Terminal | 06:30 AM – 09:00 PM | ₱140.00 |
| Lucena (Quezon) | JAC / DLTB | South Station | Every 30 mins | ₱250 – ₱330 |
| Calamba (Laguna) | PNR Train | Alabang PNR Station | Check PNR Timetable | ₱30 – ₱50 |
| Dasma (Cavite) | Modern Jeepney | VTX Terminal | Every 15 mins | ₱40 – ₱65 |
The “Alabang” Strategy
- VTX vs. South Station: * Use VTX for P2P buses and high-end provincial lines.
- Use South Station for traditional jeepneys heading to Cavite (Molino/Paliparan) and local Biñan/Sta. Rosa routes.
- The “P2P” Advantage: In 2026, the Alabang-Makati P2P is the gold standard. It uses the Skyway, skipping all the traffic on the service road.

- Southbound Routes: Cavite (Tagaytay, Indang), Batangas (Nasugbu, Calatagan), Laguna, Quezon Province.

VGC (Valenzuela Gateway Complex)
Address: Paso de Blas, Valenzuela City
- Northbound Routes: Serves as a staging area for buses coming from Bulacan, Pampanga, and some parts of Zambales/Bataan to prevent provincial buses from entering central Metro Manila.

These are older hubs often used by students and residents of Manila proper.
- Victory Liner (Sampaloc): 1310 España Blvd — Routes: Baguio, Zambales.
- Fariñas Trans (Sampaloc): 1238 AH Lacson Ave — Routes: Laoag, Ilocos Norte.

- Philippine Rabbit (Avenida): Oroquieta St — Routes: Tarlac, Baguio, Abra.
⚠️ Check Schedules Online: Major lines like Victory Liner and Bicol Isarog now allow online booking via their websites or apps. It is highly recommended to book at least 48 hours in advance for weekends or holidays.
All data comes from official operator websites, government sources (e.g., LTFRB, PCG), and trusted aggregators (e.g., 12Go.asia, DirectFerries, Pamasahe.ph) via real-time web searches and page browsing. Cross-verify across 5–10 sources per update to ensure accuracy—no guesses. For example, ferry routes from 2GO are pulled directly from travel.2go.com.ph/schedules, and bus info from victoryliner.com/routes.
