Note: As of March 2014, their Manila-Banaue/Bontoc franchise was cancelled following an accident where one of the buses fell off a steep slope near Bontoc that resulted in several deaths. A shame really as this is the company that best serves this route compared to others.
Terminals for Florida and Autobus are now on the same side and a block apart from each other. Five minutes walk from main road Espana. Florida terminal is closer to Lacson St while Autobus is closer to UST main entrance. The difference for the regular and deluxe is the toilet inside as far as I know. Oh and the hot pink curtains.
PEAK SEASON: Easter Week (Holy Week for the Catholics), November 1-2, Dec 20-Jan6
Locals going home to Ifugao take as early as 2 weeks to buy their tickets during these dates. Florida still refuses to add trips during the peak season so that’s it, one or two a day. Autobus adds on 2-3 more trips especially leading up to the main holidays (Holy Thu, All Saint’s Day, Christmas, New Year) but again these seats get filled up easily.
CLARK - BANAUE
There are no buses directly going to Banaue from Clark Airport in Pampanga. Best option is to backtrack to Manila and get the night bus. Or if you are not on a rush and looking to head to Sagada you can go to Baguio first. Buses heading for Baguio leaves every 30 minutes from the Dau terminal which is just a few minutes away from Clark airport. There are buses from Baguio heading for Sagada or Banaue.
From Baguio:
There are non-aircon buses that goes direct to Banaue. Travel time is 8 hours. Usual departure times are 7PM everyday. You can find them usually waiting for passengers near Rizal Park.
From Sagada:
1)Take a jeepney to Bontoc. Find the jeepney terminal going to Banaue. Last trip is 12:30-ish to 1PM. Travel Time : 3-4 hours.
2)Another option is to wait for those non-aircon buses going to Tabuk or Quirino. They stop in Banaue for those mandatory stopovers.
- Some people hire a jeepney from Banaue to take them straight to Sagada and back. If you are lucky they might be in the mood to accommodate an additional passenger or two. Of course there’s a chance you might have to split up the fare and that could be more expensive than commuting.
