This post was updated on August 3rd, 2023.

On October, 2018, Greyhound Canada canceled all of its Canadian routes located west of Ontario. The familiar white and blue buses have stopped all service in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia, as well as Northwestern Ontario, ending service beyond Sudbury. The lone surviving route is  between Vancouver and Seattle , which will still be offered by Greyhound . 

Best bus options in Western Canada

Over the last few years, Busbud has worked to find and integrate alternative bus operators serving Western Canada so that customers will still have access to affordable and sustainable bus travel on our website and app. We were able to bring you new bus options on the most popular routes in Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan.

Greyhound bus alternatives in Alberta

Busbud customers have other options than Greyhound Canada in Alberta and Ontario with Red Arrow coverage . The company operates hundreds of routes in both provinces, making it easy to travel around the two provinces. Busbud travelers seem to enjoy their amenities too, since the company has a 4.5 stars rating – an expressive number for the industry.

Another option is Ebus . The company has several routes in Alberta and British Columbia, offering services between prominent cities, like Calgary, Edmonton, Fort McMurry, Vancouver, Kamloops, Kelowna and Prince George. The buses have WiFi, restrooms and power outlets. Busbud customers rate Ebus with 4.3 starts.

Travelers can also choose Rider Express services to explore not just Western Canada but also various cities in Ontario. The company offers routes connecting cities within British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario, as well as routes between provinces. Apart from the in-province routes, you can embark on trips from Vancouver to Calgary , Calgary to Regina, Winnipeg to Regina, Saskatoon to Edmonton, Toronto to Ottawa, and many other exciting destinations. It’s an excellent way to discover the country! Busbud travelers rate them with 4.2 stars.

Cold Shot is another provider offering transportation throughout Alberta, covering 29 cities in the province. Their buses also serve two cities in British Columbia, giving passengers more options to choose from. On Busbud, travelers give them 4.0 starts and ratings, much due to their limited amenities, as their buses don’t offer bathrooms. Yet, they do have WiFi and power outlets.

Another choice in Alberta is traveling with The Canada Bus , a company that serves routes within the province, connecting the cities of Edmonton, Red Deer and Calgary. They’re known for their punctual services and comfortable buses, all equipped with bathrooms, WiFi and power outlets. Travelers on Busbud rate them with 4.4 stars.

Also in Alberta, travelers can find shuttle operators to go from the big cities to the smaller tourist towns of Banff , Canmore and Lake Louise . The options are traveling with Vivo Green and RTB Tours. The companies also offer bus trips between Calgary International Airport and the Rocky Mountains.

Alberta bus companies’ alternatives on Busbud :

  • Rider Express
  • The Canada Bus
  • SunDog Tours
  • Thompson Valley Charter

Greyhound bus alternatives for British Columbia

For our travelers to beautiful British Columbia as well as local folks, we’ve successfully replaced coverage on Vancouver to Squamish with Squamish Connector , offering multiple departure and arrival points in both cities. The company is highly rated, with 4.7 stars on Busbud and many compliments. 

We have also added YVR Skylynx , a 4.5-star company, and Epic Rides , rated at 4.7, on the popular Vancouver to Whistler route. With a pick-up point at the Vancouver YVR airport and a direct connection to Whistler , the (arguably) best slopes in Canada are much closer than you think!

More good news is coming from Ebus , which has expanded its coverage in the wake of Greyhound’s decision and is now serving routes in British Columbia. Although the bulk of its routes are located in Alberta, Ebus has added Vancouver , Kamloops,   Kelowna ,  Abbotsford , Chilliwack , Hope , Merritt , Vernon , Surrey and Coquitlam as notable destinations.

If you wish to travel between British Colombia and Alberta, the aforementioned Rider Express has another cross-province bus on the very popular route between Vancouver and Calgary , with daily buses between the two cities.

For routes within Vancouver Island, you can count on Tofino Bus, as the company offers trips between Nanaimo and Victoria, Duncan and Victoria, Port Alberni and Victoria and many more. Their shuttle bus services are rated with 3.6 stars by Busbud travelers.

British Columbia (BC) bus companies alternatives on Busbud :

  • Squamish Connector
  • YVR Skylynx

All routes from these bus companies are already available on busbud.com. Adding more Canadian inventory as well as working closely with local operators to expand coverage on the ground is always one of Busbud’s top priorities.

Continue to travel by bus in Western Canada

The challenge for busbud.

Following Greyhound’s decision, Busbud has been working hard to continue to offer the most options to our Canadian and international travelers. As a proud Canadian company, we have been dedicated to building and offering the largest intercity bus coverage in Canada on our platform.

We’ve found ways to keep offering multiple city-to-city bus routes in Western Canada so that our customers can continue to have access to affordable and sustainable bus travel on our website and app, in 11 languages, multiple payment options as well as 30 currencies.

Book your bus tickets for Canada or any of our other 80 countries on our website or mobile apps .

These are fricken useless!!!!!!!! ebus at at the airport. My transit bus does not operate early enough in the morning to connect to it. If I took the afternoon one I would be stranded in Vancouver at midnight! The same goes for the return trip to Kelowna! I sure hope someone soon is smart enough to make the bus accessible to everyone and at appropriate times !!!!!

Hello Marianne!

We completely understand your situation. Greyhound’s departure leaves a big void in the Canadian bus industry. Smaller local carriers are stepping up and trying to increase their coverage to give travellers the most options. It is still a work in progress and there still needs more departures and more routes to and from many communities. Our mission at Busbud is to make bus travel accessible to everyone by working hand in hand with bus companies. We will keep Canadians as well as international travellers informed of any new development!

Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have more questions.

Roxanne from Busbud

This is a good start to Greyhounds Departure. There is only one route I take. That is the Edmonton to Medicine Hat route by greyhound. For people who take public transit to connect with these partner bus connectors. Consider saving enough for a cab to the pick up location. Then you can catch the bus when public transit doesn’t serve people. We all can push for a taxi flat rate to these bus stations.

There’s nothing that connects through the trans Canada highway.

There’s no mention of a bus service that connects from Salmon Arm,to Calgary.

This route is a MAJOR connection between provinces…

they need inter provincial buses to cities Calgary and Winnipeg .

I need to let you know one bus company that is clearly missed here… Rider Express. They serve the Trans Canada Highway. Not exactly sure of the stop locations though. they have routes in Sask currently. Rider express has new routes coming on line slowly, Current ones that I know of, Prince Albert to Saskatoon, Saskatoon – Regina, Winnipeg – Regina, Regina – Calgary, Calgary – Banff – Kamloops ( I’m sure people will be hard pressing on this route to stop in Cannmore, Lake Louise, Field, Golden, Revelostoke, Sicamous, Salmon Arm. I wont be surprised if the request gets heavy on this route…) New route added just recently not listed yet – Saskatoon to Edmonton ( Again heavy pressure on this route to stop in Battlefords – Lloydminster – Mannvile, Vegerville No routes yet from Edmonton to jasper I hope Rider Express will cover this route to connect to the BC North Bus in Valuemount BC then continue on to Kamloops BC

Edmonton to Saskatoon will come up very soon around the end of this month in time for the Christmas holidays.

Here’s the website address for Rider Express based in Regina Sask https://riderexpress.ca/

EBus is too expensive; it is over 15$ more to get from Abbotsford to Vancouver. Not only that, the station is all the way at the airport instead of within range of the transit system.

I live in cranbrook bc and my only fricken option is to fly just to go to calgary since I dont drive…..there needs to be a bus replacement here cant fork out $500 everytime I wanna go see my family..

Nelson to Regina. Got anything there? This sucks with no greyhound. I think we should lobby for it back

Hi i was wondering what about bus rout from kamloops B.C. to lethbridge AB.? Will there be a bus that travels that way? Jst a thought?

There’s absolutely nothing for Northern BC, nothing at all connecting from Prince Rupert all the way to wherever the closet bus to these listed is. Prince George is a major hub up here, while these may be good for southern BC, it does not help up here. Do you know if anything will be added?

the small buses are not enough we busses that connect long distance routes between places like to Calgary and Vancouver and Winnipeg to Edmonton and cities in between .

the small buses are not enough we need buses that connect long distance routes between places like to Calgary and Vancouver and Winnipeg to Edmonton and cities in between .

Another suggestion would be Kelowna to Penticton/Osooyos area. Greyhound prevented local transit from extending from Peachland to Summerland. It’s a mire popular route than some realize.

There doesn’t seem to be anything heading east from Calgary or Edmonton. I live in Drumheller and now that greyhound is gone there is nothing. This is a major tourist destination in summer and the largest centre between Calgary and Saskatchewan border. It would be a great stop for a longer route going through from AB to SK or MB.

Prince George to Edmonton … what Bus will take me there ?

Northen British Columbia, the Kootenays are literally abandoned. Any word for areas up there. Remote regions?

You need to specify with lines are accessible or define them when they are not. Northen BC has BC Transit running through from Prince George to Prince Rupert. Don’t see that listed. There are a couple more smaller ones I have heard about running north. All non accessible. Accessible needs are serviced from Northern BC from Prince George in all directions to Vancouver by Northern Health Connenections, no medical appointments needed. All rides must be prebooked

If you can get to the Via Rail station in Kamloops, there is a Vancouver-Edmonton train that you can use. I don’t know if there are any other stops that might be helpful.

I don’t see a Bus from Prince George to Edmonton… My Kids n Grandkids n Mom live there.. How am I suppose to Go see them when there is No Bus to take Me there ???!!!

There should be a definite Bus for Prince George to Edmonton there and back…… it’s a major connector for many travelers and I’m really surprised there is no Bus listed for that Hwy 16 East Highway Route. I believe You will Assign a Bus to take that Driving Job for the many Passengers who used this frequently with Greyhound before They abandoned Us and Hope You will get a Bus going soon for Prince George to Edmonton cuz We need to See Our Family that Live that Distance away from Us.

Wish everything stayed the same as hreyhound, such as dates and times… sucks how i had to quit my job due to different times and dates for this new system

Any idea when buses go province to province

If you have any information about bus travel between Winnipeg, Manitoba and Kenora, Ontario, thank you for letting me know!

We now have all Rider Express routes available on Busbud. The article has been updated to show this information. Rider Express is indeed a great bus company with cross province routes between Saskatchewan and Alberta as well as Alberta and British Colombia. We are very happy to be offering their tickets on our platform and we are still looking into adding more inventory in Northern BC and the prairie provinces.

There needs to be more coordination of linking bus times . The private stage coach line from Trail BC connects to lots of smaller towns and arrives at noon at the orchard park Mall . The Ebus only stops at the Kelowna airport or downtown . It leaves 5 hours later .

To clarify , the trail BC stage coach line arrives at its final destination in Kelowna . To catch a bus to Vancouver , the traveller must get to the airport or downtown Kelowna . Then there is a five hour wait until the bus leaves for Vancouver . This is not easy for anyone with children or are seniors .

CRANBROOK!! WE ARE LEFT IN LIMBO. ITS TRUE 590 BUCKS PLUS CAB FARES EACH END. I JUST GOT CHARGED $41.40 FOR A 19 MINUTE CAB RIDE FROM CRANBROOK AIRPORT TO THE STRIP. NOT EVEN DOWNTOWN. MASSIVE RIO OFF.

Man greyhound shutting down just ruined my trip home. Saved up 4000$ and now i find out I’m going to just have to ride freight trains the whole way. Via wants 2’000$ and can’t board planes.

I never had a clue one could drive from the United States straight up Interstate 95 right into Canada until I experimented with the idea though I’ve never followed through with it in my teenage years. I drove from New York City with friends to Maine but turned around and went back.

My experience with Greyhound is a prime example of why they are loosing valued members. Yesterday 22 Apr 2019 waiting at the bus junction location for them to stop and pick up my Daughter to get her back to the cite. The first Greyhound did not stop although the driver made eye contact with me and kept driving. Called and was told that it was not the correct bus and that her bus was broke down and running late. The next bus came and continued without stopping so we called again and told that was not her bus and it was going to be even later. Again the 3rd bus went by and did not slow down or anything and again we call to find out that it was her bus this time and that we had missed it even though we were standing there and watched it drive by. Asked the person that we were talking to what was going on and when could we expect the next bus. Was told that here was not going to be another bus and that she could catch the bus tomorrow. Not acceptable as we were at the bus stop and they did not stop. She also need to be to work tomorrow and we needed to get her there. Nothing they could do or would do. Also told that we would have to call back tomorrow and see about getting our money refunded. So how do you get your daughter home when they do not stop or care that you are left stranded waiting for them? Not to mention the 1.5 hours of driving to the bus stop, 3 hours of waiting as they were late and did not stop. Then another 5 hours of driving to get her home plus all the fuel to go to the city and back home. Only a refund on the ticket and a sorry we did not stop and you had to drive her vice using the ticket that you paid for a couple months in advance and oh by the way 7 to 14 business days for the refund. Not sure that I will advise anyone to use their services unless you are in a big city and are going to another city.

Patiently waiting for your next blog. 🙂

Someone needs to pick up routes in the east kootenays. Paying over $400 to fly to Cranbrook is insane. I can’t drive due to medical reasons, and from Kelowna you’re pretty much trapped, unless you want to go to Vancouver. I can’t get to cgy for specialist appts…nothing and flying just isn’t affordable. Won’t be making my reunion in Cranbrook….can’t get there. TRAPPED!

This Really a nice blog to learn the new things

It’s not just Cranbrook that’s in limbo; the entire East and West Kootenays, which are too far West for Ottawa to see and too far East for Fantasy Island (Victoria is not traditionally in touch with realities not local to its own) to know we exist, and as such there’s no travel abilities between any two Kootenay cities, save the occasional medical connector such as between Cranbrook and Creston but which is still expensive for not running often enough to avoid otherwise unnecessary hotel stays. This is bad for Kootenay economy and Victoria’s tax revenue, so you’d think they’d try to help us, but yes, the whole Kootenays needs some bus service now.

inter provincial bus travel

  • Transportation Guide

Bus in Vietnam

  • 1. Inter-provincial buses
  • 2. Local buses
  • 3. Bus travel tips

In Vietnam, bus is the cheapest and most convenient means of transportation for foreign travellers, since the bus system has been well-developed and covered almost every part of the country. If you are stuck on the very first steps such as how to find a bus or which route to go, stay calm and read the following guide.

Inter-provincial buses

Each province in Vietnam has its own major terminal, especially in big cities like Hanoi (My Dinh Bus station, Giap Bat Bus station), Ho Chi Minh City (Mien Tay, Mien Dong); you can find buses going to every tourism destination as well as other province in Vietnam. Typically, inter-provincial buses are high quality ones with good services, large and comfortable seats. All you have to do is to buy tickets from registered ticket booths inside the terminal, and later show it to the conductor on the bus. There is no limitation for the size of baggage.

inter provincial bus travel

The price depends on the distance of the route and type of seats chosen. Tourists can ask their travel agencies to purchase ticket in advance, or even book ticket via phone or Internet by themselves. Notice that Internet booking bus ticket is not very popular, only applicable to a few large bus companies like Hoang Long. If you depart from minor provinces and there is no direct route to your intend destinations, it is advisable to catch a bus to major cities (Hanoi for northern provinces, Hue or Da Nang for central area, and Ho Chi Minh City for southern provinces) and then change the bus there.

Local buses

In Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and some major tourism destinations, there is public bus service for people both local and foreigners. Those buses also departure from major terminals before heading to other streets. In other provinces, we also have buses run by private companies. Passengers can catch bus at bus stops scattering around the province and buy ticket directly from the conductor. Although the ticket is very cheap (under VND 10000), the service is not very high (you may have to stand if the bus is too crowded, the bus may not have air conditioner, or the conductor cannot speak English). However, local bus is one interesting way to understand more or make friends with local people.

inter provincial bus travel

Bus travel tips

• Only buy bus tickets from registered booths of large companies inside the terminals. Some prestigious names to mention are Hoang Long, Viet Thanh, Sinh café, Hanh Café and Mai Linh. Avoid waiving bus along the way for your own safety reasons (those buses may run around the cities until it collects enough passengers, which may take hours)

• Ask the price before hopping on or you may be overcharged. Normally, ticket price is the same to everyone.

• Bring along with you a piece of paper and a pen to write down your destination or questions, as language barrier can cause difficulties.

• Keep strict eye on your luggage and wallet, especially if using public and local bus.

• Do not hesitate to ask the conductor, the driver or even your fellow passengers if there is anything making you confused. Vietnamese are very friendly; they will be more than willing to help you.

Canadian bus companies have plans to fill the gap left by Greyhound

From east and west, canada's bus companies say they're ready to ride to the rescue.

inter provincial bus travel

Social Sharing

Almost every Canadian of a certain age can remember the first long bus ride that took them off on a youthful adventure.

In the case of your correspondent, part of that journey as a tender 17-year-old was on the exotically named Grey Goose Lines, which dropped me on a lonely highway somewhere east of Atikokan, Ont., for a summer job as a junior forest ranger.

While Greyhound Canada's announcement of its final departure from southern Ontario and Quebec this week may have come as a shock to people who depend on the service, those in the know say the company's loss may have a silver lining.

Early reports that the 'Hound's disappearance sounds the death knell for an outmoded system of transportation are simply not true, said Terence Johnson, national president of Transport Action Canada.

Buses still matter for people who don't drive or have access to a car — and to connect communities where airlines are too expensive or non-existent.

Now, Johnson says Greyhound's departure could be the catalyst for a new coast-to-coast bus network formed by an interlocking group of domestic bus companies from both east and west — provided the federal government is ready to help. 

"A lot of Canadian companies don't mind seeing the back of Greyhound," said Johnson, who sees the bounce-back following the pandemic as a moment to transform and improve Canada's transportation system.

Regional players ready

That transformation may not be immediate. Johnson said there may be a shakeout period as new bus services fill the gap left by the U.S. carrier, at a time when they're already struggling with a crash in traffic due to COVID-19 restrictions.

But these are not inexperienced startups. They're established regional players, and when you start looking, there are more of them than you might realize.

Already, companies across the country are looking at how to get a piece of what they see as the lucrative Central Canadian market for both passenger service and parcel delivery.

Just as Grey Goose Lines expanded out of a small startup in the 1920s in Sperling, Man., before being ultimately swallowed up by Greyhound and closed, there appears to be no shortage of strong regional companies looking to take Greyhound's place.

"Rider Express is coming to Ontario and Quebec," says a notice on the company's website  posted on the same day Greyhound announced it was pulling out.

"As a truly Canadian company, Rider Express will be able to connect across Canada with a single bus ticket."

Success where Greyhound failed

But how could a company that started small in Saskatchewan after the province cancelled the money-losing provincial Saskatchewan Transportation Company in 2017 make money where Greyhound could not?

According to Rider's general manager, Omer Kanca, after years of serving relatively sparsely peopled routes between Vancouver and Winnipeg, the Windsor–Toronto–Montreal corridor will be rich pickings.

"The fact that we achieve ... this in these areas itself proves that our business model is much better than Greyhound," Kanca said.

inter provincial bus travel

In partnership with Ontario Northland bus service based in North Bay, Ont., Kanca says Rider will be able to provide integrated service from the West right up to the edge of Atlantic Canada, a system that he is expecting to have running by summer.

"We are ready," Kanca said on the phone Friday. "We have buses waiting to be put in service."

  • Greyhound Canada shutting down all bus service permanently

Rider Express is not the only company with its eye on Greyhound's abandoned routes. Insiders say there were many reasons the U.S. company withdrew, but one was that as of July 1, the Ontario government is deregulating bus service in the province's well-travelled southern routes. That would open the way for any company that can get a licence to operate.

Greyhound shuts down in Canada for good

Competition and co-operation.

John Stepovy, director of business development at Edmonton-based Pacific Western Transportation, which operates EBus and Red Arrow on routes in Western Canada, says the company is looking into launching a service in Ontario.

Operating under Alberta's deregulated system since 2011, Pacific Western is prepared to compete. But it also sees value in co-operation with companies that understand their regional markets. 

  • 'Safe, reliable and affordable': New bus service aims to make notorious Highway of Tears less dangerous
  • Fragmented bus service market emerges as Greyhound exits Western Canada Oct. 31

"We're continuing to look for opportunities to expand the service and to work with other regional carriers for connections," Stepovy said.

A system for co-ordinating with strong regional players like Pacific Western is exactly what Mike Cassidy, the owner of Coach Atlantic Maritime Bus, has in mind.

Riders board a GO train at the Acton, Ont., station on Wednesday, January 15, 2020.

Cassidy hopes to create a co-ordinated national bus network, with regional bus services across the country and with co-operation from the federal government. Companies already in talks include Pacific Western, Kasper, which operates in Manitoba and northwestern Ontario, and Cassidy's Coach Atlantic.

"For the last six months ... we've been presenting a coast-to-coast bus coalition where you do not give total responsibility for a trans-Canada bus line to one particular company," Cassidy said.

Part of his plan would see some kind of government subsidies for the capital costs of inter-city buses similar to the money given to urban bus services.

Not just cherry-picking

The idea is not to just cherry-pick the lucrative routes but to provide a cost-effective service, connecting a backbone cross-country network to regional participants offering routes to small and Indigenous communities.

Using a shared system of software, Cassidy foresees a system where passengers will be able to move seamlessly from carrier to carrier. It would also offer each local operator access to the lucrative package-delivery system traditionally run by bus services.

  • Greyhound's departure leaves 'gaping wound' in northern B.C. one year on
  • Liard First Nation starts bus service to replace Greyhound

One of the advantages of such a network of parts, says Transport Action's Johnson, is that the system would be less likely to collapse because one company failed. He said Greyhound seemed to think it was too big to fail and deserved federal handouts to keep going.

Johnson, like many others across the country, believes the federal government must be involved to help co-ordinate an inter-provincial transportation service that integrates urban and inter-urban systems to serve all Canadians.

"There is a great deal of finessing of this relationship to make it all work properly for the person who matters, the passenger, the Canadian, who wants to go from Corner Brook to Sudbury to go to university," Johnson said.

"She should be able to buy a ticket and know all those connections are going to work, and it should be easy."

Sri Lanka lifts inter-provincial travel ban as Covid-19 vaccination accelerates

The government also allowed the resumption of public bus services from sunday while train services would resume from monday. officials told pti that crowding in these transport services is not allowed..

The Sri Lankan government lifted the three-month-long inter-provincial travel ban across the country on Sunday as the vaccination drive against the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) picked up pace, news agency PTI reported. However, the inter-provincial travel at present is only given to government employees on official duty, senior health official Asela Gunawardena said.

This will be the first time that public transport will be operational across Sri Lanka since late April.(Reuters file photo)

The government also allowed the resumption of public bus services from Sunday while train services would resume from Monday. Officials told PTI that crowding in these transport services is not allowed. “We will allow buses to take passengers strictly limited to their seating capacity,” state public transport minister Dilum Amunugama.

This will be the first time that public transport will be operational across Sri Lanka since late April when the government imposed tough travel curbs due to a massive spike in Covid-19 cases following the Sinhalese New Year.

The lifting of the travel bans and resumption of public transport in the country comes days after the government said on July 30 that it was ending work-from-home for all government employees despite no improvement in the ongoing pandemic situation. PB Jayasundera, the current secretary to President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, said there was no need for government employees to work from home as the majority of them had been vaccinated.

Sri Lanka is reaching the 10 million milestone for its ongoing vaccination drive against the coronavirus disease and more than 84 per cent of the population above 30 years has been given at least one dose of the vaccine, according to a report by the Lankaxpress. The country has received over 13.8 million vaccines, the report added . And on Saturday, Sri Lanka received 728,460 doses of AstraZeneca from the COVAX programme.

Meanwhile, a total of 308,812 people were infected with Covid-19, while 277,118 patients have recovered and 4,436 died so far. The daily cases in Sri Lanka have been over the 2,000-mark daily during the last week.

This is how interprovincial travel will work under level 3 lockdown

inter provincial bus travel

Updated Covid-19 directives for interprovincial travel for South Africans returning to work or university have been put in place by transport minister Fikile Mbalula.

The new regulations include the mandatory use of face masks, sanitising of passengers before boarding and landing, keeping windows open by at least 5cm, and a 70% loading capacity.

The regulations come into effect immediately, and a violation of the rules would be classified as a criminal offence , Mbalula said.

“Law enforcement authorities will act without fear or favour,” he said.

Mbalula said the regulations were introduced after extensive consultations to contain the spread of the coronavirus within the public transport sphere.

“Consultations with health experts were undertaken and their additional recommendations in the face of the increased loading capacity were duly considered and accepted,” said Mbalula, adding that preserving livelihoods has become much harder while gradually resuming economic activity.

He said both taxi and bus services should always comply with the regulations when travelling across provincial borders.

“Bus, taxi and e-hailing, meter taxis, shuttle services, chauffeur-driven vehicles and scholar transport vehicles are permitted to carry 100% of licensed carry capacity for any trip not regarded as long-distance travel. Long-distance travel refers to a trip that is 200km or longer,” said Mbalula.

Mbalula said the measures put in place were a “necessary evil whose sole purpose is to curb the spread of the virus across provincial epicentres”. 

“Our commitment to preserving human life cannot be sacrificed for expediency,” he said.

“Minibus and midibus taxis may not carry more than 70% of their maximum licensed passenger-carrying capacity for long-distance intra-provincial travel and permitted interprovincial travel.

“Long-distance bus services are permitted to carry a maximum of 70% of their permissible passenger-carrying capacity for intra-provincial and permitted interprovincial travel. Long distance rail operations and travel remain prohibited,” Mbalula said.

inter provincial bus travel

Under the advanced level 3 regulations , interprovincial travel is allowed for work-related reasons provided there is a requisite permit. Also allowed is crossing borders to and from school or institution, moving to a new place of residence, caring for an immediate family member, returning to a place of residence from a quarantine or isolation facility, movement of children and MPs performing oversight responsibilities.

Mbalula listed updated regulations on how interprovincial travel will work to try to curb the spread of the coronavirus in a public transport vehicle.

Here are 10:

  • All operators must ensure public transport vehicles are sanitised before picking up and after dropping off passengers.
  • All public transport vehicle windows must be kept 5cm open on both sides.
  • All public transport vehicles must be fitted with window jammers or blockers to keep the windows 5cm open.
  • Operators must ensure all public transport vehicle doors, window handles, armrests and handrails are sanitised after every load.
  • Passengers must be encouraged to sanitise after they enter the vehicle and after getting out of the vehicle.
  • Any marshal or security officer who interacts with members of the public in a public transport facility must wear a cloth face mask or a homemade item or another appropriate item that covers nose and mouth and together with face shield.
  • Passengers in public transport vehicles are obliged to wear a cloth face mask or a homemade item or another appropriate item that covers nose and mouth throughout the journey.
  • No person or passenger will be allowed to use any form of public transport or enter a building, place or premises if they do not wear a cloth face mask or a homemade item or another appropriate item that covers nose and mouth.
  • All public transport operators must put measures in place to adhere to physical distancing to curb the spread of the virus.
  •  Intra-provincial, metropolitan areas and district public transport is permitted to operate without a requirement for a permit.

LTFRB reopens provincial bus routes for inter-regional trips

The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) on Tuesday announced the reopening of provincial bus routes for inter-regional trips.

Based on Memorandum Circular No. 2022 – 023, the LTFRB said all public utility bus operators with valid and existing Certificate of Public Convenience (CPC), Provisional Authority (PA), and Special Permits are allowed to operate and use designated end-point terminals to and out of Metro Manila.

Provincial commuter routes coming from CALABARZON will be allowed in its original terminal at the Araneta Bus Terminal in Cubao via C5.

Meanwhile, provincial commuter routes with pre-COVID endpoints in Buendia, Makati, Pasay, and Manila will still use as their endpoint the Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX), including those coming from Quezon, MIMAROPA, and Bicol.

For provincial buses from Region 1, 2, and Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), they are allowed to drop off passengers at North Luzon Express Terminal (NLET) where there are city buses that will take them to Metro Manila.

Provincial buses from Region 3 are allowed to pick up and drop off passengers in terminals such as Araneta Center Cubao and NLET depending on the route of the authorized unit.

Those from Visayas and Mindanao to Metro Manila are allowed to board and take off passengers at Santa Rosa Integrated Terminal (SRIT), while there are also city buses that will take them to Metro Manila.

The LTFRB, however, reminded PUB operators that they are required to secure QR Code in every authorized unit driven prior to operation. They can download the QR code on www.ltfrb.com.ph

They are advised to print it on a size 8.5"×11" short bond paper and must post it on the front their windshield without affecting the driver's view. —LDF, GMA News

The Philippines is an archipelago, but buses are a popular mode of long-distance land transportation in the country, especially on the large islands. With a rudimentary rail network, the Philippines' intercity bus network is extensive, and most cities and towns can be reached by bus. Even with competition from airlines, buses transport people across the country efficiently, if not on schedule.

Understand [ edit ]

inter provincial bus travel

Bus travel is a cheap and popular way of traveling around the Philippines. While planes are much faster, hassles with security at airports as well as frequent delays and the ticket prices not faring well to the income of an average Filipino, make buses even more useful and efficient. Buses have more frequent departures, but they are not punctual either, as bus stations are often in congested spots in cities, and it's not uncommon for a bus to leave only if full.

The industry is regulated by the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), a government agency which also regulates most forms of public land transportation, including jeepneys but not tricycles . Fares must follow a tariff, and companies are subject to strict safety standards. They also have a hotline to report violations by drivers and operators, from overcharging to serious safety violations.

There are two major categories of buses, provincial buses , which zip through the provinces to connect every major city or town, and city buses , which are less common as most places would have jeepneys instead as streets are narrow. You can also find tourist buses approved by the Philippines' tourism department, and range from shuttles offered by some hotels, to ones chartered for group tours.

inter provincial bus travel

Buses in the Philippines are mostly manned by two persons, a driver and a conductor. The conductor also announces stops and assists passengers, aside from punching tickets and collecting fares. Due to the distances involved, buses running long-haul runs (e.g. Manila to Bicol, or Manila to Davao) are required to have a second driver who takes over the wheel after six hours of driving. In luxury buses, there will also be bus attendants or stewards, which will greet you, serve you snacks and meals, and provide blankets for the rest of the journey. Bus staff in the Philippines are very helpful, but unlike airline staff, are less used to foreigners.

Many buses on scheduled service prominently display the destination, as well as the key intermediate stops and (on some companies) service pattern on the windshield, usually on hand-painted signs handled by the conductor. Some companies already use digital signage for the destination. The class of the bus is generally posted at the top right of the windshield. In Manila and Cebu City, which have numbered routes, city buses may display the route number on a sign pasted above the windshield or on a scrolling digital destination sign. You can also find out whether a bus has onboard WiFi, TV or restrooms through signs on the windshield.

Vehicles [ edit ]

Buses and comfort levels used tend to vary from operator to operator, but the most common buses are usually brand-new Chinese vehicles, as well as Japanese, European and Korean buses with locally sourced bodies. Second-hand import buses from Japan or South Korea are once common, but those are slowly being withdrawn on safety grounds. Low-floor buses are slowly becoming common in city routes and on some luxury express routes between provincial cities. Some buses (often minibuses in poorer regions and the Visayas) are rather similar to truck-based jeepneys, usually built from a chassis truck with the passenger compartment behind. Those buses are usually operated by their owners (like with jeepneys), the exterior is painted colorfully, and the vehicle are narrower in width and lower in height than typical buses.

Buses in the Philippines are usually certified to travel up to 80 km/h (50 mph) on expressways, and between 50–60 km/h (31–37 mph) on other highways. Average bus speeds in the Philippines also lie between the 50-60 km/h range as well, but it can be lower if they stop frequently, use slower provincial roads on part of the trip, and have meal stops or take the ferry.

Companies [ edit ]

The Philippines' bus network is moderately regulated in terms of fares and standards, but there are over a hundred companies, some being dominant on one or more regions. In the busiest bus routes (e.g. the Manila-Batangas commuter route), they may be one or more companies, each offering varying levels of service. The list below include of some major bus companies (and affiliates), which typically serve one more region from one or more major city (commonly Manila). Companies that only serve one region or province from their operating base can be found on their respective "Get in" or "Get around" pages

  • ALPS the Bus ( Al Perez & Sons ), [email protected] . Based in Batangas City , they run the Manila-Batangas City commuter route, but they also have long-haul operations to destinations in Bicol and Panay from Manila. ( updated Oct 2020 )
  • Ohayami Transit . Has daily trips from Manila to Baguio, Solano, and Banaue , and Baguio to Banaue. ( updated Oct 2020 )

Provincial buses [ edit ]

Provincial buses form the backbone of intercity and regional transportation, and while jeepneys may take their place in some routes where a full-size bus is too large for some roads along the route or there is not any significant demand, most places within the tourist trail should be reached by at least one or more provincial bus routes.

inter provincial bus travel

There are five classes for provincial buses, which are based on comfort, number of seats, and fare. The class of the bus should be indicated on the windshield, but some don't have them posted at all. From worst to best:

  • Ordinary (regular/third class) — 2-3 layout (6 in the rearmost row), with 54-57 hard seats (either padded or wooden). Stops most frequently. Vehicle can range from minibus to a full-size coach. Some buses may have two doors or the front hosting the conductor's seat. The vehicles are crowded and sometimes unsafe, and foreign travelers are advised not to take them. Windows are kept open, so passengers are exposed to the elements and increase risk of catching disease, spitting is common on these buses, and it's not uncommon to find passengers carrying live animals such as chickens.
  • Air-conditioned (second class, also shortened to AC or A/C ) — 2-3 layout (6 in the rearmost row) with hard seats. No other frills except the A/C. May stop frequently like ordinary buses, but stops are further apart (and can be on bus stations than on curbsides or pullouts)
  • Deluxe (first class, also called executive by some companies) — 2-2 layout (5-6 in the rearmost row) with 36-38 hards seats. Skips more stops, and have better legroom than regular AC.
  • Super deluxe - 2-2 layout (6 in the rearmost row) with 34 reclining seats. Stops only at major cities and towns. May have restrooms, personal entertainment screens, and blankets.
  • Luxury - 2-1 layout with 26 fully reclining seats, which can be turned to beds on overnight trips and an onboard toilet. Stops only at major cities (or run non-stop, not including food and toilet breaks). Mostly operated by the large bus companies.

As a rule of thumb, "commuter" or short/medium-distance buses are usually run with air-conditioned or ordinary buses, while long-distance services (with meal stops/toilet breaks) are run with higher-class buses. In practice however, ordinary buses can be seen in long-haul routes as well, and luxury buses are usually offered by the large bus companies, even on short routes between cities.

City buses [ edit ]

inter provincial bus travel

Metro Manila, Cebu City and Davao City have city buses , which are not usual in most cities, where jeepneys are a staple as they can negotiate the smaller streets. Unlike most systems in most largest cities in the world, city buses are run by private companies under government franchise. City buses ply wide avenues and highways, and routes often connect suburbs.

inter provincial bus travel

City buses are only available in two classes:

  • Air-conditioned - 2-3 or 2-2 layout (6 seats on the rearmost row), with hard seats. The most comfortable.
  • Ordinary - 2-3 layout (6 seats on the rearmost row), with hard seats. Doors are usually left open for most of the trip, except on expressways due to safety regulations. Cheapest, but are crowded, hot and often dangerous. Most bus companies have phased out service class out of safety concerns, and the remaining ones mostly ply routes to low-income suburbs.

For years, the typical city bus (on both classes) in the Philippines is usually a high-floor coach with some modifications for rush-hour and frequent-stop operation, but accessible, low-floor buses are slowly being introduced. For most services, high-floor vehicles are still commonly used, especially in Manila and on commuter routes that take the expressways for most or part of the route. Ordinary buses always use a high-floor vehicle.

Seating arrangements on city buses vary by vehicle regardless of class, but most should have room for 38 (2-2 seating) or 41 (2-3 seating). Seats always face to the front of the bus on most vehicles, but newer low-floor vehicles will have bench or rear-facing seats near the front door, space for wheelchairs and strollers, and hanging straps and grab bars for standing passengers. Regardless of vehicle type and seating configuration, seats near the front door are priority seats reserved for passengers with children, elderly persons, and people with disabilities; you should give those seats to those groups of people whenever they need it. Priority seats are marked with a sign (often the international accessibility symbol) pasted on the window beside the seat.

inter provincial bus travel

Express buses are available since 2016. Branded Premium Point-to-Point Bus Service (or simply as P2P ) by the Philippine government, these buses, complete with luxury amenities generally available only on long-distance provincial routes, provide fast, limited- or non-stop connections with central business districts, suburbs, or even provincial cities, and have only one to no stops along the route. Fares are a flat rate, and while expensive to a working class Filipino, they are more comfortable that the widely available AC buses. P2P buses mostly run from Manila, Cebu City , Iloilo City , Angeles and Baguio .

City bus tickets are always bought from the conductor, but contactless methods (e.g. Manila's Beep card) can be used with some operators. A few city bus companies, mostly ones operating completely ultramodern low-floor fleets, have completely fixed fares, such as BGC Bus (which serves Bonifacio Global City or BGC in Taguig ) and MyBus (which runs between Cebu City and Lapu-Lapu in Cebu).

The country's first bus rapid transit (BRT), the EDSA Carousel in Metro Manila, began operation in 2020. This route, which only uses low-floor buses, run the whole length of EDSA down from the Bonifacio Monument in Caloocan into SM Mall of Asia in Pasay , and into Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX). Bus stops on EDSA are generally built at the median, with direct connections to MRT Line 3. However, cash is not honored, and you must have a smart card to pay fares. More BRT lines are being proposed for Metro Manila, but are yet to start operation. A BRT system is under construction in Cebu City.

Fares and ticketing [ edit ]

Fares are regulated (and the same throughout the country), and generally based on distance. There are no transfer tickets nor interline tickets; you must pay another fare whenever you transfer. The fare systems are:

  • City bus : Mix of distance-based and zonal systems. ₱12 (ordinary: ₱10 ) for the first 5 km, increasing incrementally by ₱2.25 (ordinary: ₱1.75 ) per additional kilometer beyond that.
  • P2P : Flat fare, generally twice the fare of a regular bus on the same destination pairs.
  • Ordinary : ₱9 for the first 5 km, increasing by ₱1.55 /km beyond.
  • Air-conditioned ₱1.75 /km
  • Deluxe : ₱1.85 /km
  • Super deluxe : ₱1.95 /km
  • Luxury : ₱2.40 /km

Fare matrixes (tariffs) are pasted inside the bus near the driver, but don't always rely on them as fares are usually rounded off to the nearest ₱5 . For seniors, students, and disabled persons, a 20% discount is available as long you produce a valid photo ID to the conductor or ticket seller. If you pay using a smart card or bought tickets online using a credit card, the exact fare is charged.

Getting provincial bus tickets is straightforward. Provincial bus tickets are bought on board through the conductor or bought at the bus station. For long-distance trips, you can also book a ticket in advance, either online (on the company website or on a booking portal like EasyBus.ph) or at the terminal or curbside stop, though it is possible to get them last-minute at a ticketing office. Tickets tend to sell out during major vacation periods (Holy Week, All Saints Day and Christmas and New Year), so consider booking will in advance, otherwise, you'll find yourself being a "chance passenger" who have to purchase the tickets aboard the next available bus while seats are already in short supply.

City or commuter bus tickets are usually bought aboard from the conductor, but in the case of buses departing from a major terminal such as PITX, you must purchase them beforehand.

Instead of buying a paper ticket, you can also pay bus fares with smart cards such as Beep , BEEP Rides (not to be confused with the former) and TripKo , especially on city or commuter buses. Beep, while mostly useful in Metro Manila, is also accepted in some provincial routes from Manila. BEEP Rides, developed for one modern jeepney operator (and not to be confused with Beep), can be used to pay fares in some select bus companies in Luzon. TripKo is available nationwide with some provincial operators also accepting it.

Bus stations [ edit ]

inter provincial bus travel

Bus stations in the Philippines vary from small company-owned shacks or sheds along the highway or main street, to large, complex terminals that function like an airport or train station and are built at the edge of town. Small bus stations have limited facilities, and may be just a patch of asphalt, concrete or dirt with a spartan waiting area and restroom. Large bus stations may have more than one terminal (including those serving jeepneys and vans), and may resemble a mall or public market, having shops and a food court. Cities or towns may have one or more bus stations, and if there is more than one, each might serve a different set of destinations (e.g. in Cagayan de Oro ) or serve a particular company. Small, company-owned bus stations are usually clustered on a suburban part of town and terminals are not far apart.

In most parts of the country, you board the bus from an open area with pasalubong stores and bus company offices (and/or tickets purchased on board after departure), or you just walk on tarmac, concrete or dirt to the bus. On large, state-of-the-art bus stations like the two new terminals in Manila, the departures area works like airport airside: you must hold a ticket pre-purchased at the ticketing booths before security or pre-booked online and redeemed at the station to be admitted into departures, baggage is inspected and passengers go through a metal detector, and the bus leaves on a particular time posted on screens. Once in the boarding area, look for departure boards to find the gate where your bus departs, and find a seat on the waiting area near you gate up to boarding, where you line up to enter the bus.

Arriving at a large bus station, you get down at an unloading area, which may be within the station premises or along the road. On large stations, you are led to an arrivals area, where there are also a food court, shops, restrooms and other services, and not from there, you can find local transportation or connect with another bus to your destination. Getting down along the road or on a small terminal, there may be little to find but transport to town, and few to no restaurants around the terminal.

On board [ edit ]

inter provincial bus travel

The air conditioning can be harshly cool, so bring a light jacket, sweater or blanket to wrap yourself. This is generally useful if taking an overnight trip on any air-conditioned bus regardless of class. A few companies may offer blankets for use on overnight journeys, and is included on the ticket price.

Many buses have on-board TV or audio, which are often loud, so consider bring earplugs with you. Some buses may have multiple TV screens, and deluxe or luxury buses may have personal entertainment systems like those on airliners.

On-board WiFi is becoming common, but services are dependent on the cell phone signals along the road, and often unreliable. You can ask for the WiFi password from the conductor, or look for a posted sign for the password.

Rules on food and live animals vary from company to company, so check carefully. Food and beverages are generally allowed, and there are peddlers who enter the bus to sell food and drinks at many bus stops, but eating messy foods is discouraged, and some carriers ban them. Pets can be carried on an approved kennel or cage, but there are still companies that ban them on board and they must be carried in the baggage compartment, which is unsafe and unethical.

Passengers can carry up to 10 kg (22 lb) of carry-on ("hand-carry") luggage on board. Anything heavier than that is stowed on a compartment under the bus. In some regions, heavy luggage may be carried a roof rack instead, or even carried on board. You may have to pay a fee for excess luggage or with some operators (e.g. Victory Liner), have them delivered to your final destination as freight.

Toilets should be available on long-distance services covering more than 200 km (120 mi) or 2 hours, but older buses may not have one, so the only opportunity for toilet breaks is during the meal stop or a toilet break at every 200 km of the trip.

Smoking (and vaping) is prohibited on board the bus (and any form of public transport). It is also prohibited at the bus station, but large ones may have a smoking area for people to smoke during a layover or before boarding. On meal stops or toilet breaks, it is also common for smokers to gather at a corner or a smoking area for the duration of the stop.

Foreigners are less often seen on public buses than on planes, so be prepared to encounter jarring behaviors as anywhere in the country. On ordinary buses, expect seeing people spitting out of the open windows, sitting with someone carrying a live chicken or all their luggage with them, or even smoking on board. At any class of bus, by the way, loud conversations are common and a foreigner can call the attention of curious Filipinos. Those said, taking the bus instead of a plane provides opportunities to interact with locals and experience Filipino culture.

Stops [ edit ]

Bus stops in the Philippines may or may not be marked, and the location may only be known by word of mouth. The stop usually have a shelter ("waiting shed") and is usually next to a pedestrian crossing. Most stops are also served by jeepneys, and generally labeled "loading and unloading areas" on signs.

Meal stops are part of long-distance bus trips, and the bus will have a scheduled stop onto a roadside restaurant, service area, or bus station where all passengers get off for a breakfast, lunch or dinner. The restaurant usually serve Filipino food (or the local cuisine) of varying quality, and the stopover area or restaurant are usually tied with or completely owned by the bus company. Meals may or may not be included on the ticket price. A meal stop usually lasts a hour, or longer if they are also waiting for boarding passengers or the stopover large.

Stay safe [ edit ]

Bus travel in the Philippines is often unsafe, especially with provincial buses. Buses do get involved in a lot of accidents, from simple head-on or rear-end crashes with other traffic, to vehicles running off cliffs on mountain roads. Some advice are:

  • Ask locals or for what are the safer operators of a certain route.
  • Avoid taking ordinary buses unless there is no alternative. Most are crowded and overloaded, and the vehicle may be dilapidated.
  • Think twice before taking overnight buses , as they do get involved in many deadly crashes. Buses on overnight routes may not have a second driver, and the driver may have taken up drugs to keep themselves awake. Stick to reputable bus companies, or book a flight instead.

Crimes on buses is uncommon on provincial routes, but more so in city buses and medium-distance provincial routes, where standing passengers are normal. Pickpocketing is the most common crime aboard buses, but distraction theft also happen.

Beware also of scams at large bus stations. One common scam involves fake porters, which will bring you to overpriced shops or restaurants.

Buses have been the target of some terrorist incidents in the 2000s. In the wilder parts of Mindanao , buses may get bombed by terrorists or attacked by bandits, so, passengers can only board at designated stops or stations, and luggage may be inspected by transportation police.

PROVINCIAL BUSES: List of Requirements & Terminals (To and from Metro Manila)

PROVINCIAL BUSES: List of Requirements & Terminals (To and from Metro Manila)

By continuing to read this article, you agree to double check with the authorities or other concerned entities for the latest updates.

After months of suspension due to the COVID-19 pandemic, operations of provincial buses to and from Manila have resumed, starting with a number of routes to and from Region III (Central Luzon), Region IV-A (CALABARZON / Southern Tagalog), Region VI (Western Visayas) and Region VIII (Eastern Visayas).

Based on Memorandum Circular 2020-051, public utility buses plying provincial routes with existing and valid Certificate of Public Convenience (CPC) or Application for Extension of Validity and registered with Personal Passenger Insurance Policy will be allowed to operate again. According to the same memo, authorized units shall be issued corresponding QR codes and subject to the guidelines of the respective local government units (LGU) and the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) on Emerging Infectious Diseases.

WHAT'S COVERED IN THIS GUIDE?

List of Provincial Bus Requirements

For passengers planning on traveling on one of these buses, the following documents are required:

  • Valid ID. This should serve as proof of residency or place of origin, age, company or workplace (if employed), or school (if student).
  • Face mask and face shield . Passengers must wear a face mask and face shield in order to be allowed to board.
  • Travel authority or Travel pass. Issued by the Philippine National Police (PNP) at the point of origin within 48 hours prior to departure. (To save time, check if there is a PNP desk at or near the terminal of origin.)
  • Written consent to undergo COVID-19 testing or quarantine or both, as may be required by the LGU at the destination or point of origin.

In addition, the IATF and the LGU may also require additional documents, which is why it’s important to contact the local government first before traveling to check for changes in the policy.

These documents must be made ready for presentation at the destination.

Travel Guidelines to Follow

These are the rules and guidelines that passengers must follow, according to the Memorandum Circular 2020-051:

  • Pre-book tickets at least 48 hours before actual departure. You can book online or at the station. On-the-day or walk-in tickets are not allowed unless for emergency purposes like medical concerns.
  • NO travel documents, NO boarding. Prior to boarding at the designated terminals, the dispatcher or conductor must inspect and ensure that all passengers have the required documents.
  • NO mask and face shield, NO boarding. Passengers are required to wear face masks and face shields in order to be allowed to board.
  • Talking to other passengers is discouraged. Same applies to talking on your mobile phone.
  • Body temperature will be checked. Passengers with body temperature of 38 degrees Celcius or higher will not be allowed to board. If you have fever or other symptoms of COVID-19, you will not be allowed into the vehicle.
  • Physical distancing must be observed at all times. No standing passengers will be allowed.
  • Most trips are considered point-to-point. No pick up or drop off of passengers other than the designated stops shall be allowed during the trip. These apply to buses bound for Region IV-A and III. (I’m still trying to confirm if this applies to Visayas-bound buses too.)
  • Take note of the following: vehicle’s plate number or body number, the boarding date and time, and the route.

These are the clauses that directly involve passengers. The memorandum also lists down several rules and guidelines concerning the bus operators and drivers, including the regular cleaning and disinfection of the bus units and the application of penalties or fines for violations.

The 7 Commandments when Riding Provincial Bus

The LTFRB also released a list of “7 commandments”, which is a summarized version of the guidelines above.

  • Always wear a mask and a face shield.
  • Talking and speaking on the phone is not allowed.
  • Eating is prohibited.
  • Proper ventilation in PUVs must be maintained.
  • Disinfection should be done regularly.
  • Passengers with symptoms of COVID-19 are not allowed to ride public transportation.
  • Proper physical distancing or the “one-seat apart” rule must always be observed.

List of Operational Provincial Routes

According to the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), here’s the list of modified provincial Public Utility Bus (PUB) routes that will start or have started operations and their corresponding terminal in Metro Manila.

Note that the listed provincial buses will be using either of the following terminals:

  • Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITx) – provincial buses bound for Southern Tagalog Regions (Regions IV-A and IV-B) and Bicol (Region V)
  • Santa Rosa Integrated Terminal (SRIT) in Laguna – provincial buses bound for Visayas and Mindanao
  • Araneta Center, Cubao, Quezon City – provincial commuter buses bound for Region III (Central Luzon)

This means that if you’re traveling to Visayas or Mindanao, you need to make your way to Santa Rosa first.

Manila to Pampanga

  • San Fernando – Araneta Center, Cubao, Quezon City
  • Dau, Mabalacat – Araneta Center, Cubao (starting October 16)

Normal service resumes on inter-provincial bus routes

Transport companies can operate 100 percent of their buses from Wednesday, double the figure regulated one day earlier, according to a Ministry of Transport announcement.

Bus stations are required to ensure passengers sit one seat or one meter apart. Buses with beds can only carry a maximum of 30 passengers, including the driver.

Most buses had only 10-15 passengers on Wednesday despite the fact a long weekend comprising Reunification Day (April 30) and Labor Day (May 1) was approaching, with station managers explaining that people are still afraid of the coronavirus, and so only travel if it is really necessary.

The transport ministry on Tuesday approved the Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam's (CAAV) proposal to increase the number of domestic flights to meet recovering demand.

From May 1 to 15 the frequency on the Hanoi - HCMC sector could be increased to 36 flights a day either way, and to 52 after that, it said.

It permitted 12 daily fights from Hanoi and HCMC to Da Nang initially, increasing subsequently to 20.

Hanoi and HCMC last Thursday ended their 22-day social distancing campaign, though keeping in place restrictions on public gatherings and many "non-essential" businesses like bars and karaoke parlors closed.

Friday marked the country's seventh day without a new Covid-19 infection and the 15th day without community transmission.

The pandemic has spread to 210 countries and territories so far, claiming over 233,700 lives.

Canada: COVID-19 And Interprovincial Travel

Recently a number of provinces and territories have issued orders or Special Measures restricting interprovincial travel. These interprovincial travel restrictions vary from province to province and many have exceptions for certain types of travel, in particular for the commercial transportation of goods and services.

Employers should be aware of these new restrictions, and how they will impact their employees and operations. Employees who must self-isolate for 14 days are not permitted to attend the workplace, but they could work from home, if possible.

If an employee cannot work due to self-isolation, then they may be eligible for EI Sickness Benefits. More information on EI can be found here .

Other considerations for employers regarding EI can be found here .

We have prepared information on how to properly code a Record of Employment here .

A brief summary of the travel restrictions currently in place in each province and territory is set out below. However, as the COVID-19 situation evolves, these restrictions may change. As such, we would advise contacting counsel if you have employees crossing inter-provincial borders.
