Ceres / Goldstar Bus Schedule and Fares

Ceres / Goldstar lists four routes serving Metro Manila and Alabang. The departure schedule is 4:30 AM to 8:00 PM.

• Cubao to Kamuning/LRT Buendia/PITX Fare:  ₱287
• Alabang (Star Mall) Fare: ₱224.00
• Contact Number: 0995 482 4107.

These options may be convenient for passengers headed to Quezon City, Pasay, the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange, or southern Metro Manila.

Choose your route based on the precise area you need to reach, not just the city name. A bus headed to Cubao is not necessarily a substitute for a trip ending near Buendia or PITX.

DLTB Co. Bus Schedule and Fares

DLTB lists Cubao / SM North EDSA and LRT Buendia

• Fare: ₱286.00
• Trip Schedule: 4:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
• Contact Number: 0977 367 6311.

If your destination is Quezon City, ask which stop is available on the specific trip and whether the bus serves your intended unloading point.

For Buendia-bound travelers, verify the actual drop-off area before booking another ride or meeting someone. Metro Manila traffic can make arrival time unpredictable, especially during peak commuting periods.

RRCG Bus Schedule and Fares

NAIA Terminal 3 

• Fare: ₱460.00
• Bus Schedule: 2:00 AM to 8:30 PM

Alabang

•  Fare: ₱224.00
• Bus Trip Schedule: 4:00 AM to 8:00 PM

Tanauan

• Fare: ₱116.00
• Bus Departure Schedule: 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM
• RRCG Contact Number: 0956 749 0866.

The NAIA Terminal 3 service may be useful for air travelers, but never plan an airport transfer using the schedule window alone. Build in ample time for traffic, terminal access, airline check-in, and security.

Confirm whether the bus directly serves your required airport terminal and ask about any transfer needed.

ALPS The Bus Schedule and Fares

Ortigas, LRT Buendia, Cubao / Kamias, and PITX

• Bus Fare: ₱286.00
• Bus Departure Schedule: 4:00 AM to 9:00 PM
• ALPS The Bus Contact: 0917 504 6042

Ortigas-bound travelers should verify where the bus stops relative to SM Megamall.

Passengers headed to Cubao or Kamias should likewise check whether their particular service uses the stop closest to their onward transport connection.

JAM Bus Liner Schedule and Passenger Fares

LRT Buendia, Cubao / Kamias, and PITX

• Bus Fare: ₱286.00
• Bus Departure Schedule: 3:30 AM to 8:00 PM.
•  JAM Bus Liner Contact: 0945 426 6309.

These routes provide alternatives for travelers comparing bus operators bound for Metro Manila.

If you are leaving before sunrise, verify the first actual departure before arranging a ride to the terminal. The start of an operating window is not necessarily an exact daily departure for every listed destination.

N. Dela Rosa Bus Schedule and Fare

Alabang (Star Mall)

• Fare: ₱259.00
• Bus Departure Schedule: 5:30 AM to 6:00 PM
• Contact Number: 0964 9050 947

Travelers comparing Alabang services should note that the advisory also lists ₱224 options from Ceres / Goldstar and RRCG, so it is worth checking the departure that best fits your timing and preferred drop-off point.

JAPS Bus Schedule and Fare Matrix

Calamba / Turbina

• Fare: ₱161
• Bus Departure Schedule: 4:00 AM to 9:00 PM

San Pedro, Laguna / Southwoods

•  Fare: ₱255.00
• Departure Schedule: 4:00 AM to 9:00 PM
• JAPS Bus Contact Number: 0918 937 9921

These services may be practical for Laguna-bound commuters and passengers transferring to other transportation within the province.

If you need a particular Calamba neighborhood, confirm whether your bus goes to Turbina or another terminal.

For San Pedro or Southwoods, ask about the exact unloading location before you pay your fare.

Supreme bus schedule and fares

Lucena

• Bus Fare: ₱201.00 air-conditioned bus/ ₱181.00 ordinary bus
• Departure Schedule: 3:30 AM to 6:30 PM
• Contact Number: 0933 812 5534. 

Air-conditioned buses can offer a more comfortable environment, while ordinary services may suit budget-conscious passengers. Ask which type is next to depart, since the published fare difference does not guarantee that both are available at the same time.

BSC Nasugbu Bus Schedule and Fares

Nasugbu

• Bus Fare:  ₱189.00

Calaca

• Bus Fare: ₱103.00
• Departure Schedule: 4:30 AM to 8:30 PM
• Contact Number: 0923 444 7908.

For beach trips or family visits around Nasugbu, check how far your final destination is from the bus drop-off. You may need a local jeepney, tricycle, or another arranged transfer after arrival.

Bus Operator Contact Numbers

Bus Operator	Contact Number
Ceres / Goldstar	0995 482 4107
DLTB Co.	0977 367 6311

How to Choose the Right Bus From Batangas City

Start by identifying your final destination and the transport connection you will need after arriving.

PITX can be convenient for some onward trips in southern Metro Manila; Cubao and Kamias may work better for Quezon City; Buendia is a different access point altogether.

Alabang, Ortigas, and NAIA Terminal 3 also serve different travel purposes. Choosing the correct endpoint can save an extra transfer.

Next, compare both the advertised fare and the operating window. A one-peso fare difference between several Manila-bound operators may matter less than the next confirmed departure or the location of the final stop.

For Alabang, the advisory shows multiple fares from different companies; check the actual service and destination before deciding solely on price.

Finally, allow extra time during Friday evenings, weekends, long holidays, and major travel periods. Queues, road congestion, vehicle dispatches, and seat availability can affect your journey. If you have an appointment, flight or ferry connection, aim for an earlier departure rather than the last possible bus.

Passengers Travel Tips

• Arrive at the terminal with enough time to find the correct operator counter and boarding bay.
• Ask staff to confirm your destination, current fare, and actual departure time before purchasing a ticket.
• Keep small bills or a payment method accepted by the operator, and retain your ticket until the journey ends.
• Pack light when possible and label checked or stored baggage.
• Keep your wallet, identification, medicines, power bank and other valuables in a small bag that stays with you.
• Carry drinking water and a light snack, particularly for trips that may be delayed by road traffic.
• If you travel with children or older relatives, choose a meeting point in case your group becomes separated.
• Eligible passengers should ask the operator about applicable statutory discounts and the identification required. The posted rates in this guide are the operator’s advertised fares, not individualized discounted quotations.
• Verify any additional terminal charges or special baggage rules directly with the company.
• Before departure, take a photo of your ticket and, if useful, the bus identifier, and send your expected route to someone you trust.
• When arriving at night, arrange a reliable onward ride in advance.
• For longer trips, consider comfort items such as a light jacket, tissue, hand sanitizer, and a fully charged phone.

Places to Visit When Traveling Through Batangas

Batangas is more than a departure point. Travelers with extra time can explore Batangas City and other parts of the province, provided they plan their transport carefully. The city has food establishments and local markets where visitors can try regional dishes such as lomi and other Batangueño specialties. Check opening hours and travel time before leaving the terminal.

For beach-oriented travel, Nasugbu is a familiar destination in western Batangas, with coastal scenery and resort areas. Calatagan and Laiya in San Juan are other popular areas of the province, although neither should be assumed to have a direct bus from the routes shown in this advisory. These places may require a separate bus, van, or local transfer.

Visitors interested in heritage can consider Taal’s historic town center and religious architecture, while nature-focused travelers may research the Taal Volcano area and approved viewpoints. Always follow current local access and safety restrictions. Lipa offers dining, shopping, and religious landmarks, and nearby towns can be explored as day trips if transport schedules permit.

If your trip involves Batangas Port and a ferry to another island, confirm your land transfer separately. Batangas City Grand Terminal and the seaport are different facilities, and a bus listed here is not automatically a direct ferry-terminal shuttle. Check your ferry check-in deadline and leave sufficient transfer time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cheapest published route?

• Among the fares shown in the October 20 advisory, RRCG’s Lipa route is listed at ₱70. This does not mean it is the cheapest possible journey for every passenger or destination.

How much is a bus from Batangas City to PITX?

• ₱287 for Ceres / Goldstar and ₱286 for ALPS The Bus and JAM Bus Liner. Confirm the fare for your exact departure.

How much is a bus to Cubao?
