Travelers returning from Camarines Norte to Metro Manila also have several daily options.
The posted Daet schedule includes buses terminating at either PITX or EDSA Cubao.
| Departure Point | Destination | Departure Time | Bus Type |

Passengers should pay particular attention to the destination terminal when choosing a trip. A bus terminating at PITX may be more convenient for travelers heading toward Parañaque, Pasay, or areas south of Metro Manila, while Cubao can be more practical for passengers bound for Quezon City and nearby areas.
Manila to Daet Pickup Points
The schedule information also identifies several possible pickup points for Manila-to-Daet passengers:
- PITX
- LRT Buendia
- Pasay
- EDSA Cubao
- Aurora Cubao
These additional points can make the service more accessible to travelers coming from different parts of Metro Manila.
However, the presence of a location on the pickup-point list should not automatically be interpreted to mean that every departure stops at every listed pickup point. The main schedule specifically identifies PITX or EDSA Cubao for individual departures.
For that reason, passengers planning to board at LRT Buendia, Pasay, or Aurora Cubao should confirm whether their selected bus will pick up passengers there.
Daet to Manila Drop-Off Points
For passengers traveling from Daet back to Metro Manila, the provided information lists the following possible drop-off points:
- PITX
- LRT Buendia
- Aurora Cubao
- EDSA Cubao
Your actual drop-off point may depend on the particular service you choose.
When purchasing a ticket, confirm the bus’s final destination and ask whether your preferred Metro Manila drop-off point is included on that trip.
PITX to Daet Bus Schedule
Passengers coming from southern Metro Manila may find PITX particularly convenient.
The listed PITX to Daet departures are 6:00 AM, 8:00 AM, 12:00 NN, 4:00 PM, 6:00 PM, and 8:00 PM.
With departures spread across the day, travelers have options for early morning, midday, afternoon, and evening travel.
An early trip can be useful if you want to reach Camarines Norte earlier, while an evening departure may suit travelers who prefer completing work or other activities in Manila before heading south.
Always allow enough time for terminal procedures, particularly during weekends, holidays, long weekends, and peak travel periods.
Cubao to Daet Bus Schedule
DLTB also serves passengers departing from EDSA Cubao.
According to the September 2026 schedule, the listed Cubao-to-Daet departures are 7:00 AM, 10:00 AM, 2:30 PM, and 6:30 PM.
Cubao remains a practical boarding area for passengers coming from Quezon City and other parts of northern or eastern Metro Manila.
Because Metro Manila traffic can significantly affect how long it takes to reach the terminal, passengers should avoid planning an arrival that is too close to their bus’s departure time.
Daet to PITX Bus Schedule
For the return journey, three listed trips travel from Daet to PITX:
- 8:00 AM, 10:00 AM, and 8:30 PM.
The morning departures are useful for passengers who prefer daytime travel, while the 8:30 PM trip provides an evening option.
If PITX is your final bus terminal, you can plan your onward transportation from there according to your destination within Metro Manila or nearby provinces.
Daet to Cubao Bus Schedule
Passengers heading toward Quezon City can choose among several listed Daet to EDSA Cubao departures 1:00 PM, 4:00 PM, 5:30 PM, and 7:30 PM.
The concentration of afternoon and evening departures gives travelers some flexibility after checking out of accommodations or completing errands in Daet.
Remember that arrival time in Metro Manila can vary considerably because of road and traffic conditions.
About the Manila toDaet Route
Daet is the capital municipality of Camarines Norte and one of the important transport gateways in the Bicol Region.
Bus travel provides a direct overland connection between Metro Manila and Camarines Norte without requiring passengers to arrange separate transfers between multiple modes of transportation.
The route is particularly useful for people traveling between Metro Manila and Daet for family visits, work, school, government transactions, business, or leisure.
Daet can also serve as a starting point for exploring other areas of Camarines Norte.
Visiting Daet and Camarines Norte
Camarines Norte attracts travelers looking for beaches, islands, surfing destinations, historical sites, and outdoor activities.
One of the province’s best-known destinations is Bagasbas Beach, located near Daet. Its long coastline makes it a popular local destination for beach trips and surfing.
Travelers also use Daet as a gateway when planning trips to other parts of Camarines Norte.
If you’re traveling primarily for tourism, consider adding extra time to your itinerary rather than scheduling activities immediately after your expected bus arrival. Long-distance road travel is affected by traffic, weather, passenger stops, and other operating conditions.
How Early Should You Arrive?
For provincial bus trips, arriving early is a sensible precaution.
Give yourself enough time to find the correct boarding area, verify your ticket, organize luggage, use terminal facilities, and deal with unexpected traffic on your way to the terminal.
This becomes especially important on Fridays, Sundays, holidays, school breaks, Holy Week, Christmas, New Year, and long weekends, when passenger demand can be much higher.
If you have already reserved a ticket, check the operator’s boarding instructions because the required check-in or boarding time may vary.
Choosing Between PITX and Cubao
If several departure times work for you, your boarding terminal may be the easiest way to narrow your choice.
PITX can be convenient for passengers coming from Parañaque, Las Piñas, Cavite, southern Metro Manila, and nearby areas. Cubao, meanwhile, may be more accessible for travelers coming from Quezon City, Marikina, eastern Metro Manila, and areas farther north.
Don’t choose solely according to the scheduled bus departure. Consider how long it will take you to reach the terminal.
For example, a 6:00 AM PITX bus may not actually be more convenient than a 7:00 AM Cubao departure if Cubao is significantly closer to you.
Travel Tips for DLTB Manila–Daet Passengers
Before leaving home, double-check your departure terminal and time, especially because the Manila schedule alternates between PITX and EDSA Cubao.
Keep your ticket or booking confirmation accessible and bring a valid identification document if required for your booking or passenger category. If you’re entitled to a statutory passenger discount, bring the appropriate valid ID or supporting document.
Pack essentials such as drinking water, personal medication, a light jacket, a charging cable or power bank, and basic toiletries in your hand-carry bag rather than placing everything in checked luggage.
For an evening journey, keeping a light jacket handy can make the air-conditioned ride more comfortable.
Most importantly, confirm your trip shortly before departure. Provincial bus schedules can be adjusted due to passenger demand, traffic conditions, operational requirements, weather, holidays, and other circumstances.
