yes. . drivers & conductors of viron transit are very accomodating & takes responsibility of their passengers. we’ve been travelling for almost 30yrs to & fro ilocos sur and we never failed to take a viron bus .
from manila: it' s seven to ten hours' drive along the scenic ilocos highway from manila to vigan. partas bus co. , dominion bus lines, viron transit, and st. joseph / aniceto transit have regular trips to vigan. bus lines like philippine rabbit bus line, farinas transit, maria de leon, florida, and rcj transit have regular trips plying the manila - laoag route, which passes by vigan .
mayor heidee ganigan - chua announced last december 21 that the management of viron transit bus company has scheduled daily trips, after solid north bus company ceased its transport services in the town .
several bus companies ply the route to the northwest luzon region. ilocos norte - bound buses are florida transport, farinas transit and maria de leon trans. partas trans, dominion bus lines, viron transit and aniceto bus line cater to ilocos sur passengers. (note: partas also has buses to ilocos norte, but they still don’t have restrooms. )

via baguio there are aircon and ordinary buses that regularly ply the baguio - vigan route. travel time is about three to five hours, depending on your departure time. fare is pegged around php360. 00 as of this writing. fariñas via laoag partas (074) 444 - 8431 | direct viron transit
i really hope viron will have their bus an air suspension, their existing suspension so as the likes of florida and partas. the suspension was something of an advantage for them (partas) because you can realls sleep while the bus is in motion, but viron trans is really safe to ride, i just hope all of their bus had the suspensions of partas .
it was april 1, 2012 when we departed through the deluxe bus of viron transit. originally, our trip is slated at 9: 00pm but we were in the terminal already at 4pm so we decided to just take the 5: 30pm trip bound to vigan. the bus is so comfortable, with foot board and good air dispenser. it has also wide aisle and good seats, perfect for long hours travel. during our trip, we had stop - overs somewhere in tarlac, in sison, pangasinan and viron terminal in la union .
fyi viron closed at 11pm and opens at 4am, so for those of you wanted to send something thru viron take note of their timing to avoid any issues with them. they have no consideration even you arrive 5 mins after the said closing time and even if you are very far from their terminal, we are very frustrated with their service and their guards as they do not know how to deal with their customers. due to this incident, we will not make any future transactions with viron from now on. i recommend partas ‘coz they have 24 hours excelent service .
kudos to the two employee of viron (driver & conductor) who helped me to make way just to go home early this holidays. i may not knew your names but i ...

the company was founded from the remnants of the former times transit transportation co. , inherited from his parents by millionaire philanthropist santiago rondaris (timoteo and estelita rondaris—where the name
times
came from), which was founded in the 1960s. (rondaris also once operated the shooting star freight service alongside times to answer the freight - moving needs of ilocos sur. )
times' terminal, refueling stop, employees' dormitory, and mini - garage in bantay, ilocos sur, which is along the national highway, which formerly housed one of the most modern garages in the province, is now shut down and is currently occupied by food establishments (after its gasoline station ceased operations ten or so years after the company shut down). it still looks much like it was in its heyday. it is located across the street from where gmw transit parks its buses in vigan city .
buses bound for ilocos sur often do not have a comfort room inside the bus, with the exception of dominion. aniceto remains to be the cheapest, with its fare to vigan being just p400. partas is the most expensive at p680. viron has a very uncomfortable seat, which was covered in plastic hence making you slide when the bus goes into a full stop. buses bound for ilocos norte generally have more comfortable seating and even have restrooms inside them as long as you take the deluxe bus. upgrade to the super deluxe bus and you get wider seats, with only three seats in every row .
viron has trips to tayug (pangasinan), san fernando (la union), abra, narvacan and vigan (ilocos sur). they follow a strict time table to ensure their drivers do not go overspeeding and to ensure their buses arrive on time. i suggest you arrive at their terminal early (in edsa, cubao and dapitan, manila) during peak season for there are a lot of ilocanos taking their buses during peak seasons. we’ve been taking this bus company whenever we go vacations to our province in la union. we and a lot of ilocanos trust this bus company to bring us safely to our destinations .
as times transit, it operated mostly international harvester buses (and two wreckers) with the white, green and red livery with illuminated logo on the roof, and a few buses with a green and white paint scheme, with superior coach bodies built under license by manila motor works. it had terminals along its route, from laoag city in ilocos norte to manila, and to bangued, abra and baguio city. it was also known for its then - unique express buses, based on an international - harvester bus platform and with superior coach
plaxton - bustler
bodies built under license by manila motor works. it was also known for its terminal at the southern end of quezon avenue in its northern headquarters in vigan with the flashy sign, which was the first and only of its kind back then .

vigan is in northern luzon and the spanish colonial influence in its local architecture and old - world charm make it a unique city in the philippines .
best time to walk the cobbled streets is probably in the 90 minutes before dawn when the poisonous fug from two stroke engines has subsided and you can appreciate its remarkable state of preservation without being deafened and jostled .
in pre - colonial times, vigan was an important trading post for chinese junks, trading gold, beeswax, and other products from the central cordilleras for exotic asian goods. many chinese traders settled in the mestizo district, marrying locals and starting new bloodlines .
vigan was captured and settled by the spanish in 1572, and grew to become a centre of spanish political and religious power in the north of luzon. in 1758 vigan became the seat of the diocese of nueva segovia .
interestingly the town was also a hotbed of anti - spanish politics. diego silang was perhaps the most notable resistance leader, but was assassinated by his friends (on commission from the spanish) in may 1763. undeterred, silang' s wife, maria josefa gabriela silang, assumed leadership of the uprising but was later captured by the spanish and publicly hanged in on september 20, 1763 .
local legend has it that vigan got its name from a simple communication breakdown. a spaniard walking along the metizo river apparently met a local and asked which the city' s name. not understanding what he was being asked, but seeing that the spaniard seemed to be pointing to a tree, replied
bigaa apo
( a giant taro plant that was common in the area). it is from the word
bigaa
that vigan is said to have derived its name .
vigan is a relatively small city with two hearts: the recreational and shopping area around the adjacent plaza salcedo and plaza burgos in the north, and the commercial centre around the public market in the south. the mestizo district is focused along plaridel and mena crisologo streets, running south from plaza burgos towards the cemetery .
there is a helpful and friendly provincial tourist information office south west of plaza burgos (next to cafe leona) that can dispense information on vigan and the rest of ilocos sur. banks with atms accepting foreign credit cards are located around the recreational and shopping areas and at quezon avenue, as are internet cafes with access that charge ₱20 per hour. some restaurants offer wi - fi access .
from the mountain province (bontoc, sagada) and ifugao (banaue): after reaching bontoc from sagada or banaue, take a minivan or jeepney (say the 7: 30 am) to bontoc (₱50, 1 hour) and from there take a minivan (say the 9: 30 am) to cervantes (₱50, 1 hour) where you can catch a minivan (say the 2 pm departure) over the bessang pass to bitalag (₱150, 2 hours), which is a few kilometres north of tagudin on the llocos highway. from here you can catch a partas or dominion bus north to vigan (₱179, 2 hours) or south to san fernando (la union) .
interisland airlines [ 7 ] flies to mindoro airport [ 8 ], also known as vigan airport, the airport serving the general area of vigan city. alternately, you could go to laoag' s airport (1. 5 hours by car), the laoag international airport. cebu pacific and philippine airlines fly daily from manila to laoag .
a fun throwback to colonial days are the calesa horse - drawn carriages that still clip - clop through vigan' s streets. rates for calesa rides should be the same as those for the many tricycles (₱8 - 10 within the city limits) that will undoubtedly by vying for your custom. but you could also hire a private calesa for around ₱150 per hour. unless you' re absolutely sure you have a tour guide that will give you in depth information about the sites you' re visiting, a whole day calesa adventure for about ₱1000 (roughly 6 - 7 hours) would be advisable. you can take your time visiting the sites and not being rushed by a guide, as well as picking and choosing the areas you want to visit .
the mestizo district offers a wonderful glimpse into the philippines' colonial past. the ancestral houses were mostly built by chinese traders using a mixture of local, asian and spanish architectural styles. movie fans recognize the streets from the movie born on the fourth of july. if someone looks closely, there are still evidence left from the shooting, e. g. signs in spanish but hastily and thinly painted over with white paint .
just adjacent to the cathedral is the archbishop' s residence, which dates back to the spanish era - - the oldest archbishop' s residence still in use in the philippines .
just below the archbishop' s residence is govantes dike, which was once a docking place for watercraft. nowadays it is a boating lagoon .
plaza salcedo west of the cathedral features a 17th century monument to juan de salcedo, and was also the site of resistance leader gabriela silang' s public hanging in 1763 .
plaza burgos is a favourite hang out for locals. it is also used for staging major public events. it has also food stalls selling native snacks, notably the empanada, a turnover with spanish origins; and the sinanglao, which is a beef hotpot made with beef offals .
the philippine national museum - vigan is composed of what used to be the home of father jose burgos and the former ilocos sur provincial jail, where the philippines' first ilocano president, the late pres. elpidio quirino, was born. it houses ilocano artifacts, weapons, kitchen utensils, basketry, costumes, jewellery and burgos memorabilia. there are also some dioramas showing important events in the history of ilocos sur, and a mini library .
the crisologo museum used to be the home of the late congressman floro crisologo and wife carmeling, former governor of ilocos sur. it contains memorabilia of the late congressman .
the syquia mansion used to be the vigan residence of president elpidio quirino. there are memorabilia inside the residence, which includes a campaign portrait of quirino .
watch the nightly water fountain show at plaza salcedo (depending on the weather) .
visit baluarte, the governor' s fortress. it also features a mini zoo with exotic animals and you can get a free ride with the small horses. this is not recommended for western people due to the poor living conditions of the animals. there is also an african gallery which features stuffed animals that have been shot by the governor, including an elephant, along with pictures of the governor with the killed animal .
try your hand at pottery. vigan' s pagburnayan makes burnay jars which are made of clay kneaded by carabao and fire - blasted in a huge kiln .
ride a kalesa, a horse - drawn carriage, around vigan and the surrounding towns .
visit st. augustine church in nearby bantay and climb up its belfry to get a breath - taking view of the town .
join the kannawidan, viva vigan - binatbatan, semana santa (holy week), and raniag festivals when it happens. the kannawidan festival happens right after the city fiesta (around the last week of january to the first week of february); the viva vigan - binatbatan festival of the arts is held in may; and the raniag festival happens during the week of halloween .
try the heritage river tour, with its main base at celedonia garden in beddeng laud .
there are dozens of antique and souvenir shops dotted about the city, particularly on crisologo and plaridel streets in the mestizo district. although some of the antiques are only reproductions, you' ll still enjoy browsing odd items, religious paraphernalia (look out for the toddler jesus figurines) and some unique foods. you can also buy hand - rolled cigars, sold in packs of three .
you can buy native handwoven abel cloth at the vigan public market, as well as delicacies like longganisa (native pork sausages) and bagnet (deep - fried crispy pork) at its meat section .
you can also go to the san ildefonso area and buy basi (sugarcane wine) or duhat wine .
nobody should leave vigan without tasting their empanada. it is a different concoction from the flour - based empanada that one usually knows .
royal bibingka is very popular at tongson' s royal bibingka, # 8 florentino st. , vigan city - - just across the street from plaza burgos .
also, one should have a try of the vigan longganisa which is spicy unlike its pampanga counterpart which is sweetish .
there is also a delicacy called tinubong, a sticky sweet rice cake that' s sold in bamboo tubes, and you have to break the bamboo (you can smash it against a concrete wall or use a knife to split it) to eat the sticky sweet rice inside. (caution: split bamboo is sharp at the edges .) they are usually sold in the heritage village in bundles of three to five .
fried tasty corn (cornick) can also be bought in the various stalls. it comes plain or flavoured .
native sugar is also made in surrounding towns and barangays of vigan. however, they are in the form of tagapulot (molasses) and balikutsa (a hard gray - colored sugar concoction shaped into scrolls) .
try the basi, a local
wine
( native rum) made from sugarcane .

3. head east from vigan (or anywhere in ilocos) to the mountain province (bontoc, sagada) and ifugao (banaue). this can be undertaken either by swinging south via baguio (which is longer by 4 to 5 hours) or by taking the following route (which is sealed all the way) :
take an early bus from vigan south (2 hours, ₱179) towards san fernando (la union) and tell the driver you want to get off at bitalag (₱150), which is a few kilometres north of tagudin. as you approach bitalag you will seen a road sign for a turnoff to bessang pass .
take a minivan from bitalag to cervantes (₱150, 2 hours). these first start departing between 7 to 8 am the minivans run roughly every three hours until 5 pm, but this strongly depends on the number of people travelling. the minivans are located on the other side of the t - junction beside the new crossing hardware shop. there are public restrooms at bitalag. the route takes you on a winding picturesque road (subject to landslides) through the bessang pass national park .
from cervantes take a minivan or jeepney (which passes over the alulung bridge which opened in march 2013, 35 years after construction commenced) either direct to bontoc or there is no direct service then to bauko (₱70, 1 hour) and then another from there to bontoc (₱50, 1 hour). another route between cervantes and bontoc is via abatan, but this is longer. if you are going onto sagada, ask the driver as you approach bontoc to let you off at the turn - off to sagada and flag down a sagada bound jeepney. this avoids going all the way into bontoc .
you can easily make this trip in a day and you arrive before sunset in sagada. the other alternative is to overnight in cervantes where there are a couple of accommodation options .

perhaps we could make it a project. i will start a list, people can cut and paste the most up to date and then add more and repost it. will start a basic one next, but will need to get through my shots to fill in gaps. i have mostly been south of manila .
hmm, good idea... although we may end up with having a very long list. .
who was the operator of the defunct kapalaran bus line? they used to have a route to sta. cruz, laguna before .

sa infanta quezon nahulog sa bangin yung bus ng kbl (no. 1001 )
iisa pa lang naman yata ang cng station kasi hindi pa ganun kalaki ang demand for cng (if i am not mistaken, 10 + lang yata ang pinoy cng bus na meron ngayon) peor once lumaki ang demand for it, madagdagan siguro ang cng stations ng shell and other energy companies na involved sa cng production .
there are around 60 cng buses right now, but with shell operating the daughter station, lahat na yata ng palusot binigay na nila: out of the 60 ngayun, nasa 20 palang ang nakakargahan everyday .
bus operators can meet the 200 buses na requirement, but here' s a classic case of a chicken and egg thing. .
i think the limjuco clan operates kapalaran bus line. sta cruz laguna ~ lawton lawton ~ siniloan manila ~ infanta (quezon) sa infanta quezon nahulog sa bangin yung bus ng kbl (no. 1001 )

sa cagsawa ako lagi sakay pag punta bicol dati philtranco. may tanda pa nga ako ama trans? i dunno kung ano na name nito ngayon .
this is what i have wanted all along. hope it all comes true and manila finally gets a reliable, co - ordinated and safe bus service .

what the government should do is impound the colorum buses, not just issue them tcts. take them off metro manila streets for good! they will continue to violate the traffic rules because the fines are minimal (just a few hundred pesos vs. thousands in income per day for each bus). that is one reason why enforcement lacks balls, the violators brazenly continue their wrongdoings .
look at buendia. not much traffic, the asphalt looks relatively new, and there are not that many jaywalkers. see the deterioration over the last 24 years ?
back then, riding a bus was still a breeze. average speeds in the metropolis were much faster, commuters didn' t always have to fight for space, and if the private buses went on strike, there was always the mmtc to pick up the slack. and there was minimal pollution compared to today so open air buses weren' t as bad as they are right now .
wow! 65 centavos! wasn' t this the cost of a bottle of 12 oz. softdrinks back then? if you follow the price increases, softdrinks cost more than p10 nowadays. but bus fares haven' t gone up as fast (minimum is p7)... so maybe they should be allowed to increase fares a bit provided these are used to improve their rides so as not to be polluters .

list of bus companies with links to info, scheds, fares etc. - philippines forum
some have more info than others and certain companies such as philippine rabbit have been omitted from the list due to them not having any info available online. do note that schedules and fares can change at any time .
most operate out of manila although i' ve managed to find info for ceres liner and a few in mindanao .
re: list of bus companies with links to info, scheds, fares etc .
good list and thanks for compiling dubson. iv' e added this to the faqs to the right for easy reference .
be aware that many bus companies do not update their websites so schedules may not be correct .
also be aware that even when the bus has a scheduled departure time, many will wait until they have sufficient passengers to make the journey cost effective .
at least the schedule at urltoken would be updated as they are selling bus tickets online. for the rest, i will heed with what fsrp01 said .
the ceres liner facebook pages appear to be unofficial. they lack swathes of information. frequencies can often be very good: half hourly in many cases, and some routes such as south of cebu operate 24 hours a day, through at 0200 hours there may only be an hourly bus .
useful information, but bus companies change all the time with ones closing and others opening up their business. as said above the schedules are sometimes not adhered to, so betetr call bus company ahead of time to make sure that the bus you intend to catch is actually running .
yep. definitely don' t take everything for gospel especially the facebook links, but saying that, it' s better to have some info than none at all. contact details (if you can get through), routes, fares and frequency of buses do help to an extent .
i had a travel website five years ago and know full well what a futile experience it was trying to gather accurate up - to - date info on travel companies in the philippines, and this is one of the reasons why i discontinued it. the ferry companies can be just as bad .
you' ve just reminded me that i forgot to post the links to bus firms in... .... palawan .
no info on roro that i can find although i have used them myself and from memory buses to and from el nido and pp depart every two hours and cost p290 .
is there a new outfit that have started up too? i seem to recall someone mentioned it not so long ago .
whilst the links may not always be up to date its nonetheless a useful tool for travellers to give them some information .
dubson i think you mean uhop < < urltoken > > but i really havent heard anything about them in this forum. i suspect that they dont operate anymore .
just googled the name and i can' t find anything relating to palawan apart from when they started up a year ago .

travel back to colonial philippines in vigan, the capital city of ilocos sur and one of the very few remaining hispanic towns in the country .
established in the 16th century as villa fernandina, vigan is endowed with its timeless and well preserved beauty. it portrays an spanish - era philippines with its cobblestone streets, horse - drawn carriages called” calesa “, ancestral houses and old structures that have survived the war and stood the test of time .
undoubtedly, vigan has successfully preserved its heritage, getting the nod of unesco for inclusion in the prestigious world heritage site list in 1999 as a best - preserved example of a planned spanish colonial town in asia.
