Transportation from Batangas Pier to Angeles via A/C Filipino Buses
- The weather sucked the last few days in Sabang, Puerto Galera. High winds cancelled all boats for around 3 days. I had to go to Calapan (taking 2 jeepneys) to take the large Supercat Fast Ferry. From Bantagas, I normally take either a private car (hotel raised their price to 6000 pesos) or take the combo of Ski Kat (from Bantagas to Citystate Tower Hotel) and then walk over to Southern Cross Hotel to take their shuttle. This tourist option is easier and has less hassles, but it takes more time and is more expensive. On this day, this option was not available.
- This is the method to take A/C Filipino buses from Bantagas Pier to Angeles. I was lucky. There were couple of helpful Pinays that helped me during this trip. It was an adventure. I traveled with local people!
1) From Bantagas Pier, as you exit, go to the bus terminal. It is a very short walk. It is left of the terminal; just follow the signs. Take the JAM Liner to Cubao (175 pesos).
2) At your final stop, the JAM Liner will drop you off in front of the JAC bus terminal. Wait in front of the JAC bus terminal station for the Solid North bus (labeled/headed for Dau). The price is 139 pesos. Note: I got one of the last seats. On the next stop, several people had to stand on the aisle.
3) Got off at Dau terminal. Take a trike to Fields for 80 pesos. Mr E was right about the price, but I still verified the price. I verify the price for everything from trikes to girls. I don't want a scene.
Holidays. Bars Open? Doll House & Camelot
Question if anyone knows if the bars are open on Christmas, News Eve and New Year's Day?
Specifically Camelot and Doll House. Will be Manila and may surprise visit my favorites in Angeles city if they are open.
Appreciate any intel.
