Travelling to Bicol from Batangas is hard via public transport

Badtrip talaga tranpo system sa Pinas.

I was at Laurel, Batangas when I decided to go to Bicol. Tinamad ako bumalik ng Cubao para doon sumakay.

So I left Laurel, Batangas and rode a jeep to Lemery. Took some pictures, then went to Batangas City dahil na dun daw buses to Bicol.

Mga 1:30 pm nasa Batangas City ako and lahat ng byahe ng bus ay pabalik ng Manila. Except for 1 non-aircin bus to Lucena. May buses daw to Bicol. Estimated time via Waze (private transport) is 2 hours.

It took the non-aircon bus 4 hours to get here. So picture-picture ako, then punta na dito sa Grand Bus Terminal sa Lucena.

May mga buses nga dito to Bicol — Daet, Naga, Garchitorena… pero yung Superlines (Pick-Up station) na may byaheng Legazpi, wala pang nadaan. And it’s 8:39 pm. More than 1 hour na ko dito.

Well alam ko namang may issue sa public transpo sa Pinas at very car-centric ang society natin — pero experiencing it coming from Batangas is the worst kind.

Sobrang hirap mag-travel sa Pinas kung wala kang sariling sasakyan like me. Yung 3 days na leave ko, talaga palang sa travel time lang gugugulin.
