Leave the Driving to Them

One of the good deals in the country right now is the public bus services. Olongapo to Manila costs just P220 per person and depending on the time of the day takes between two and four hours. That is less than the cost of the tolls one would pay in a private vehicle. Besides price the new buses being used these days are comfortable and relaxing. The air-conditioning is almost too cold. The seats all recline. Reading lights work. Movies are shown on new screens. When stops are made they are at places that have clean comfort rooms and offer a wide variety of snacks. Victory Liner stops at Double Happiness on the way to Manila. For the Baguio voyage there is a Tarlac rest point. The drivers are professional and safe. In the old days none of these things were true. The buses were old, the stops decrepit and the drivers all maniacs. Like many other things the PI is joining the modern world and it is bettering all of our lives.
