how long is the wait it depends sir like
1 Hour 2 hours No 5 hours no not that
much 10 minutes 6 to 7 6 to 7 no he's
[Music]
joking everything is going to
[Applause]
[Music]
be
all right so we are in the car ready to
go to PARTA bus terminal we're going to
visit my parents up north in L Union the
bus trip was pretty uneventful so
instead I'm going to break it down into
10 useful tips when traveling by bus in
the Philippines so we're in Manila which
is right here my parents live in bang up
north it's a 4H hour 28-minute drive
according to Google Maps I'd prefer to
avoid a long bus trip but I searched for
an airport around that area area and the
closest airport is leag which is a 1hour
flight from Manila but it's 5 hours away
from my parents house so we decided to
take the bus instead plus it's a lot
[Music]
cheaper so there are two major bus
terminals in Manila Pai and kubal Pai is
closer to the airport making it the most
convenient for travelers but kual is a
larger of the two bus terminals as it's
more of a central bus hub depending on
where you're going you'll need to decide
which is more appropriate for you this
is where you buy your take
it I I'm going to bang bang sir just
wait for your Stu number to be cold okay
and then after that that's the time you
can buy your ticket when you get to the
bus terminal they'll issue you a ticket
with a number on it this ticket puts you
in line to buy a bus ticket the weight
can be 5 minutes or 5 hours watch this
how long is the wait it depends sir like
1 Hour 2 hours No 5 hours no not that
much 10 minutes 6 to 7 6 to
7 he's joking they give you tickets to
buy bus tickets which is strange but I
guess that's how it operates there's a
lot of people here though there's a lot
of people
waiting
Paulo da Paulo and Michael hi Mich so we
don't know how long this is going to
take it could take quite a bit but
they're they were helping us out it's
always good to meet local people here to
help you figure F out these how these
tickets work otherwise we would be lost
very
lost generally daytime is a lot busier
than at night we waited 3 to 4 hours to
get on the bus during the day but when
we took the night bus we were able to
get on the bus right
[Music]
away that was our friends they just took
off they're going to ABRA Way Way North
from us really cool to meet them now
we're on the bus there are two types of
buses the regular bus and the deluxe bus
if you can get on the deluxe bus I
highly recommend the upgrade what's nice
about this bus there's actually two
seats one row and then one person on
that side so it's a lot wider and a lot
more
[Music]
space uh I
got tell them where you're getting
off snack vendors get on the bus all the
time trying to sell you their goods
watch out for your stuff at all times
one thing that amazes me is how close
people get when they're driving two lane
road will turn into three lanes and
people are just walking see that without
a care in the world they're just walking
between traffic no problems I would not
want to be doing
that so we're 3 hours into our journey
we're taking a little bus stop break I'm
going to go outside see if there's
anything
[Music]
cool not many pea BRS we only stopped
once in our 5 plus hour Journey looks
like the toilet is right behind me it
actually costs 2 pesos to use the
bathroom which is nothing but if you
need to go to the bathroom make sure you
got some change because you're going to
need
it they've got like little restaurants
and stuff just behind me which is pretty
awesome you might not like the food you
might actually want a pack
[Music]
sandwiches the bus temperature is super
cold remember to bring a sweatshirt some
long pants and maybe even a
[Music]
blanket
