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

Ang mga impormasyon na narito ay maaring magbago, maaring bisitahin ang inyong mga kanya-kanyang LGU sa actual na detalye at kailangang dokumento sa pagbiyahe.

Mga Kailangan sa pagsakay ng Provincial Bus:

Para sa mga pasahero, kailangang magdala ng mga sumusunod para makasakay at makabiyahe sa mga Provincial Bus:

• Travel Authority/Pass mula sa PNP sa terminal na panggagalingan ng pasahero.
• Valid ID na may kalakip na importanteng impormasyon ng pasahero tulad ng Address/Place of Origin, Edad, at Lugar kung saan nag-aaral o nagtatrabaho;
• Written Consent na pumapayag ang pasahero na sumailalim sa COVID-19 testing o magpa-quarantine sa terminal na pinagmulan at/o huling destinasyon sakaling ito ay kailanganin ng LGU;

Iba pang mga dokumentong kailangan ng Inter-Agency Task Force for Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) at local government unit.

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.
