If you’re traveling between Metro Manila, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Aurora, and parts of Pangasinan, chances are you’ve seen the familiar green-and-white buses of Baliwag Transit or the yellow buses of Golden Bee on the road.

For many of us who regularly travel north of Metro Manila, knowing the first and last trip can make a huge difference. You don’t want to arrive in Cubao at 10:30 PM only to find out that the last bus to your destination has already left. The same goes if you’re trying to catch an early-morning trip from Cabanatuan, Baliwag, Hagonoy, or San Jose City.

The good news is that the October 2026 trip schedule provides updated departure information for several major terminals and provincial routes, including Cubao, Grace Park, PITX, Baliwag, Hagonoy, Cabanatuan, San Jose City, San Quintin, Papaya, Dingalan, Pantabangan, Bongabon, Licab, Rizal, Cuyapo, Candaba, and other destinations.

There are also special schedules for buses using SCTEX and CLLEX, plus designated trips passing through the SM Pulilan Transport Terminal.

I’ve organized all the schedules below into an easier-to-read guide so you can quickly find the route you need before heading out.

Important: These schedules are based on the October 2026 trip information provided by Baliwag Transit/Golden Bee. The original advisories specifically state that schedules are subject to change without prior notice. Give yourself enough time at the terminal and confirm the latest trip availability before traveling.

Baliwag Transit and Golden Bee October 2026 Schedule at a Glance

The published schedule covers a fairly large network, so instead of treating this as one giant timetable, it’s easier to start with the terminal you’re using.

The major terminals covered are Metro Manila / NCR: Cubao Terminal, Grace Park Terminal, PITX, Divisoria, and Caloocan.

Provincial terminals and destinations: Baliwag, Hagonoy, Cabanatuan, San Jose City, San Quintin, Papaya, Dingalan, Pantabangan, Bongabon, Licab, Rizal, Cuyapo, Candaba, Bahay Pare, San Antonio, and Gen. Mamerto Natividad.

Let’s start with the Metro Manila terminals.

Baliwag Transit Cubao Terminal Schedule

Cubao remains one of the most useful terminals if you’re coming from Quezon City or other parts of Metro Manila.

One thing you’ll notice immediately is how early some of these services begin.

If you’re going to Cabanatuan, the first trip is already at 2:30 AM. San Jose City follows at 3:00 AM, Baliwag at 4:00 AM, and Hagonoy at 4:30 AM.

For travelers who prefer leaving Metro Manila before the morning rush, these early trips can be very useful.

The latest departure among the four is the 10:30 PM Cubao to Baliwag service.

Still, I wouldn’t recommend arriving exactly at the published last-trip time. If I were taking the final bus of the day, I’d try to be at the terminal earlier so there’s some allowance in case of changes or passenger queues.

Grace Park Terminal Bus Schedule

Grace Park is another Metro Manila option included in the October schedule.

The published routes are San Jose City, Baliwag, and Cabanatuan.

For Grace Park to San Jose City, the poster doesn’t give a simple first-trip/last-trip range. Instead, it lists these specific departures:

4:30 AM, 7:00 AM, 11:00 AM, 3:00 PM, and 5:00 PM.

So if you’re going from Grace Park to San Jose City, don’t assume buses leave continuously throughout the day based only on the first and last departure. Those are the specific times shown in the October advisory.

San Jose City to PITX Schedule

Here’s one of the more useful additions for passengers traveling between Nueva Ecija and southern Metro Manila.

The October schedule lists several San Jose City → PITX trips, using different routes.

From San Jose City to PITX

The first published departure is 2:50 AM, while the final listed trip is 2:20 PM.

This is one schedule where checking the route matters.

Some trips go via CLLEX–Aliaga, others via SCTEX–Dau, and several operate via Bulacan.

If your concern is where the bus will pass along the way, don’t look only at the departure time—check the route beside it as well.

PITX to San Jose City Bus Schedule

For the opposite direction, the October schedule lists the following departures from PITX to San Jose City:

If you’re coming from Cavite or somewhere closer to PITX than Cubao, this route may save you from having to travel across Metro Manila just to board a Nueva Ecija-bound bus.

The earliest listed PITX departure is 5:30 AM, while the latest is 7:00 PM.

Again, notice that the 11:30 AM and 3:30 PM trips are specifically marked via Dau–SCTEX.

Baliwag Terminal Schedule

From Baliwag Terminal, the October schedule lists buses going to Cubao, Grace Park, and Divisoria.

Baliwag to Cubao

• First trip: 3:30 AM
• Last trip: 7:30 PM

Baliwag to Grace Park

• First trip: 4:00 AM
• Last trip: 7:00 PM

Baliwag to Divisoria

Instead of a first-to-last range, the schedule provides specific departures:

• 5:00 AM, 6:00 AM, 7:00 AM, 8:00 AM, 11:00 AM, 1:00 PM, and 3:00 PM.

If you’re heading into Manila for work, school, appointments, shopping, or errands, having Cubao, Grace Park, and Divisoria choices gives you some flexibility depending on where you ultimately need to go.

Hagonoy Terminal Schedule

The Cubao route runs later based on the published last-trip time, while the final listed Hagonoy-to-Divisoria departure is 5:00 PM.

Cabanatuan Terminal Schedule

Cabanatuan is one of the routes where the first trip varies depending on the day.

Cabanatuan to Cubao

• Monday and Tuesday: 2:00 AM
• Wednesday to Friday: 2:15 AM
• Saturday: 2:30 AM
• Sunday: 2:50 AM
• Last trip: 7:45 PM

That’s worth remembering if you’re trying to catch the very first bus. The earliest departure isn’t identical every day.

Cabanatuan to Grace Park

• Monday: 2:10 AM
• Tuesday: 2:15 AM
• Wednesday to Friday: 2:30 AM
• Saturday: 2:45 AM
• Sunday: 3:10 AM
• Last trip: 6:00 PM

For both routes, check the day of the week rather than assuming yesterday’s first-trip time also applies today.

San Jose City Terminal Schedule

San Jose City has connections to Cubao, Grace Park, and PITX.

San Jose City to Cubao

• First trip: 12:30 AM
• Last trip: 7:00 PM

Yes, that’s 12:30 AM for the first published departure, so travelers who need to reach Metro Manila early have a very early option.

San Jose City to Grace Park

• 3:00 AM, 5:00 AM, 9:00 AM, 11:00 AM, and 1:30 PM.

San Jose City to PITX

• First trip: 2:50 AM
• Last trip: 2:20 PM

The separate PITX schedule provides the detailed departures and routes listed earlier in this guide.

Other Baliwag Transit Routes from Cubao

The October advisory also contains trips from Cubao to several smaller destinations.

From Cubao

This section is especially handy if your destination isn’t one of the major terminals.

San Quintin to Cubao

The October schedule lists four San Quintin departures for Cubao:

• 12:00 AM – Cubao via CLLEX
• 2:40 AM – Cubao via CLLEX
• 4:00 AM – Cubao via CLLEX
• 11:40 AM – Cubao via CLLEX

All four are specifically marked via CLLEX.

Papaya Bus Schedule

• 1:50 AM – Cubao
• 3:00 AM – Cubao
• 4:00 AM – Caloocan
• 6:00 AM – Cubao
• 7:00 AM – Cubao
• 12:20 PM – Cubao
• 1:00 PM – Cubao
• 2:00 PM – Cubao

There are several Cubao departures throughout the day, plus a 4:00 AM Caloocan service.

Other Provincial Departures

• From Rizal: 4:10 AM – Cubao
• From Licab: 3:10 AM – Cubao
• From Candaba: 4:30 AM – Caloocan
• From Bahay Pare: 4:50 AM – Cubao

The advisory notes: No trips on Sundays.

• From Dingalan: 3:00 PM – Cubao
• From Sibul
  • 3:10 AM – Cubao
  • 3:40 AM – Divisoria
• From Gen. Mamerto Natividad: 3:45 AM – Cubao via SCTEX
• From Pantabangan: 3:40 AM – Cubao via SCTEX
• From Bongabon: 4:00 AM – Caloocan
• From San Antonio
  • 3:00 AM – Divisoria
  • 5:00 AM – Divisoria

Caloocan Provincial Trips

These can be useful alternatives if Caloocan is more accessible to you than Cubao.

Divisoria Bus Schedule

• 7:00 AM – Baliwag
• 7:00 AM – Hagonoy
• 8:00 AM – Baliwag
• 9:00 AM – Baliwag
• 11:00 AM – Baliwag
• 3:00 PM – San Antonio
• 4:00 PM – Baliwag
• 5:00 PM – San Antonio
• 5:00 PM – Baliwag
• 6:00 PM – Baliwag
• 8:30 PM – Hagonoy

If your starting point is Manila rather than Quezon City, checking the Divisoria departures may save you from traveling all the way to Cubao first.

SM Pulilan Transport Terminal Schedule

There’s also a designated schedule for buses passing through the SM Pulilan Transport Terminal.

This one is particularly important because the schedule differs on Monday compared with Tuesday to Friday.

Every Monday Only

• 5:20 AM – Grace Park (1 bus)
• 5:30 AM – Cubao (1 bus)
• 5:40 PM – Grace Park (1 bus)

Tuesday to Friday

• 5:30 AM – Cubao (1 bus)
• 5:40 PM – Grace Park (1 bus)

The advisory specifically indicates one bus for each of these designated trips.

That means I wouldn’t arrive at the last minute expecting another bus immediately behind it. If you’re relying on one of these services, give yourself extra time.

SCTEX via CLLEX Trips

Another useful part of the October update is the dedicated SCTEX via CLLEX schedule, identified as operating via Calibangbangan.

From San Jose City via SCTEX–CLLEX

This is separate from the broader San Jose City terminal summary, so if you specifically want the SCTEX–CLLEX routing, these are the departures to watch.

From Cubao via SCTEX–CLLEX

Take note of the 4:00 PM Cubao to Rizal trip because the advisory specifically marks it as Friday and Saturday only.

Planning Your Trip: A Few Practical Tips

With this many schedules, the easiest mistake is looking at the right destination but the wrong terminal.

For example, San Jose City has services involving Cubao, Grace Park, and PITX, while some trips use Bulacan and others are marked via SCTEX, Dau, or CLLEX.

So before leaving home, check three things:

Where exactly am I boarding? Where exactly am I getting off? Which route does my chosen departure use?

That last question matters if you’re expecting to pass through a particular area.

Another tip: don’t treat a published first trip–last trip range as proof that buses leave at fixed intervals throughout that entire period. Unless an interval is specifically stated, the poster only confirms the first and last trips shown.

That’s especially important for passengers trying to catch a connection.

Should You Take Cubao, Grace Park or PITX?

If you’re in Quezon City or nearby, Cubao will often be the most straightforward choice because of the number of routes listed there.

If you’re coming from the northern side of Metro Manila, Grace Park may be more convenient.

Meanwhile, PITX is worth considering if you’re starting from the southern side of Metro Manila or coming from Cavite and nearby areas.

For a passenger coming from the south, traveling all the way to Cubao just to board another northbound bus can add a lot of unnecessary city travel.

The PITX–San Jose City service gives you another option.

Leave Some Allowance in Your Schedule

If you have an appointment, flight, ferry, work shift, school activity, or another fixed commitment after your bus trip, don’t choose a schedule that leaves you with only a few minutes of allowance.

Traffic conditions can change quickly.

Even services using expressways such as SCTEX and CLLEX can still encounter delays before entering or after exiting the expressway.

And because the bus company itself states that schedules are subject to change without prior notice, it’s better to treat these times as your planning guide rather than a guaranteed arrival timetable.

Final Reminder

The Baliwag Transit and Golden Bee October 2026 schedule gives travelers plenty of choices between Metro Manila, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, and nearby provinces.

If you’re traveling from Cubao, there are services to major destinations such as Cabanatuan, San Jose City, Baliwag and Hagonoy, plus scheduled departures to smaller destinations including Papaya, San Quintin, Dingalan, Pantabangan, Licab, Rizal and Sibul.

PITX passengers also have several daily options to and from San Jose City. At the same time, Grace Park, Divisoria, and Caloocan provide additional alternatives depending on where you’re coming from in Metro Manila.

My advice is simple: save the schedule for your route, check whether your trip uses Bulacan, SCTEX, Dau, or CLLEX, and arrive at the terminal early.

Most importantly, remember the note printed on the operator’s advisories:

Schedules are subject to change without prior notice.

So check again before leaving home, especially if you’re taking the first or last trip of the day.
