About Isarog Line

Bus is a convenient way of travel no matter whether you need to get to a neighboring town a couple of hours away or venture further afield crossing the whole country. Whatever your budget, buses have you covered. Express buses offer the most affordable ticket price for travellers who have very little money to spend. VIP options are geared toward those who do not want to compromise on comfort. Before you jump on a bus, make sure you choose the type of service which suits you best. For a long-haul trip look for a VIP or first-class coach which provides non-stop service to your destination or just call a minor number of stations along the way. Express or local buses in many cases may prove an acceptable choice for shorter trips, but longer rides are often not the best buy. Study the timetable before going as many long-haul destinations are served by night buses, and some offer wider seats or sleeper berths for such travels. Make an online reservation for your bus ticket with Isarog Line. Other travellers’ reviews will help you to choose the best ticket and coach class.

Isarog Line Ticket Prices & Bus Classes

One of the best things about bus travel is that you can almost tailor-make your trip adjusting it to your requirements for privacy and comfort. Different classes and types of buses cater to the different needs of travellers. The cheapest trips are normally offered by standard-class buses. They may be called local, express or ordinary. These are a good choice for shorter trips. Sleepers or VIP coaches are good both for longer and overnight trips. They may offer berths or wide soft reclining seats, sometimes with built-in massage options, blankets, soft drinks, and snacks, or more substantial meals on board or during toilet or refuelling stops. Travelling by night buses allows you to save on a hotel room, but to ensure the most comfortable ride do choose the class of your bus wisely. Prices always depend on the distance you ride and the type of coach. For some, even shorter trips, it is worth investing some extra money and buying a seat on a VIP bus as it can save you twice as much time as you spend travelling by an ordinary bus.

Travel by Bus: Pros & Cons

Pros of Bus Travel

  • Bus is the best choice to get to destinations that are not connected by rail or planes. The network of buses often covers almost the whole country, and their routes are well and long-established.
  • Opposite to air travel and sometimes rail travel, taking a bus does not require arriving at the bus station much in advance. Check-in, even on international routes, does not take much time. Luggage allowances are usually very traveller-friendly, and the fee for extra luggage, if limits are set, is normally not very high.
  • Bus tickets can be more affordable compared to air or fast train tickets. There is always a choice of ticket classes for all pockets. Cheaper standard options may be a bit slow and do not offer top comfort, but anyway acceptable and bring you to your destination. On longer routes, toilets or toilet stops as well as snacks, water, and sometimes toiletries and blankets are almost always included in the price.
  • If you are ready to spend more, some VIP coaches offer seating comparable to business class on a plane with wide soft reclining seats, blankets, fewer passengers, and many other perks to make your trip a pleasant journey.

Cons of Bus Travel

  • Newer intercity bus terminals are very often located out of the city close to bigger highways to allow buses to avoid city congestion. Unfortunately, it may create extra challenges for travellers, too. Getting to such a terminal may be a problem as in some destinations there are restrictions on vehicles allowed to enter the terminal, and you will have to use special carriers to get there. This results in higher costs as prices may be inflated. Also do calculate extra time if you are travelling during rush hours, especially if you are not familiar with the traffic situation at your starting point.
  • Buses are probably the means of transport which runs out of schedule more often than trains or planes. They are heavily dependent on the road situation which sometimes can be unpredictable – accidents, road construction works, detours, etc. This is especially true for travels during weekends, high season, or national holidays. Do keep this in mind and do not plan tight connections.
  • Travelling on certain routes or during the most popular periods may require advanced booking. Bear in mind that it is not always possible to show up at the bus station and hop on the next bus – tickets may well be all sold out, so organize your trip accordingly.

Driver definitely has a racing license but brought us safely to Manila. Seats were comfortable, but don’t choose last row. We had enough breaks. The bus arrived a little bit late but all in all good value for the money.

I took the sleeper bus and was happy with the service. I just wish that you guys could offer blankets on the trip because your ACs are so cold! Plus it's a bed but there are no blankets offered? Genesis liners always offered blankets for their lazy boy lines going to Baler which really set them apart and made me give them a 5 star service.

Driver and conductor are nice but the personnel at ticket/booking station needs to improve the way she talks to her customers.

The trip was quite fast been on the destination on time... how ever the conductor and the drivers are not hospitable.and friendly. at first i was struggling with my lugguge as i was placing it in the compartment, the conductor was there and he was just instructing me instead of giving a hands to lift my lugguge. Then on the bus en route. I ask if they can adjust the a/c since it was too cold that time i managed to shut it off but still there are blowers at the sides(up). They just told me that they cannot adjust the temperature anymore...its too cold though. It was my first time riding the Isarog lines(Bus) And well its a good experience riding but i was a little upset about the service of the crew...

No actual terminal. We need to walk to the middle of the highway to get into the bus. No CR in the ticketing office too. Well other than that, basically it's still good there's an office there to accommodate passengers.

There should be an option to choose seat number upon booking. I booked this bus so i will not be seating with someone i'm not related to. But the seat is pre-assigned.

Hindi accurate yung time sa nabook ko compare dun sa exact time na alis ng barko. from 2pm then changed to 12:30pm. Pag dating ko ng barko walang inisue na ticket sakin dahil late dw ako, samantala dumating ako before 12. Kaya pinaiwan muna ako sa loob ng bus na nasa barko sabi sakin pag umandar na daw yung barko saka ako umakyat. haissstt nakaka disappoint.

delayed trip from 12 hours it took as almost 24 hours travel. although the it wasnt their fault that there are close roads that causes so much traffic at least they can do is organize the terminal so that there is proper waiting area for the passengers..

Suggestions for improvement: Bus 801- 1) the seat numbers did not indicate which are the aisle or window seat. 2) USB charging connections very high and not accessible 3) there was an engine defect and we were stopped on the road for 3 hours. Cubao Terminal - 1) male Cr. You call it a "comfort" room? No water and very dirty! 2) terminal is too small for your large operation.

I booked a 20:00 to 9:40 trip to Legazpi as it was perfect for my 11am to 1pm engagement. We arrived Legazpi at almost 1pm! That's a 3 hour delay from the estimated time of arrival which is insane. I saw a review which said that the sleeper's space was uncomfortable and he/she was only 5'6". I'm almost 6 feet. I'll let your imagination handle that one. Still thankful for safely arriving in Legazpi though, but I'm not riding this bus line again.

I got d upper “bed” nside d sleeper bus; space was small: i cant even sit straight as my head is already touching the ceiling yet im only 5’6. Seatbelt was short i cnt even locked it; im an average-size man. “Hallway” was small; 1 person can only pass at a time

I was seated next to a woman who put “herbal oil” before going to sleep; I did not like the smell. There should Be an option to choose seat number; there should also be a rule that man should not be seated next to a woman, unless they are related.
