Flight chronicles of the backpacker Tutubi, with travelogues, pictures/photos/videos, travel guides, independent and honest reviews, recommended resorts and hotels (including inns, guesthouses, pension houses, lodges, hostels, condotels, bed and breakfast and other cheap accommodations), commuting guides, routes (sometimes street maps and GPS coordinates/waypoints) and driving directions to answer "how to get there" questions, information and tips on tourism, budget travel and living in Philippines, Exotic Asia and beyond!
Backpacking, independent travel, and flashpacking are cheaper than the "cheapest package tours" and promotional offers around but you can also use travel information for family vacations, even romantic honeymoon destinations.
More than the usual tourist spots and "places to see," this blog advocates heritage conservation, environmental protection, and history awareness for Filipinos, foreigners, and ex-pats wishing to explore Paradise Philippines and Exotic Asia!
Unique Visits
DLTB Bus Line to Batangas, Lucena and Sta. Cruz, Laguna
For a few months now, an old familiar bus line plies the routes of Manila to Batangas City, Manila to Lucena, Quezon and Manila to Sta. Cruz, laguna with the same color as the once ubiquitous BLTB Bus (which stands for Batangas Laguna Tayabas Bus Co).
BLTB has since stopped operations and now DLTB is now on the roads with the same look and hoping to regain the bus route of the old BLTB Bus Line.
In Pasay City on Taft Avenue just beside the south-bound LRT station of Sen. Gil Puyat (Buendia), you can see the new DLTB bus terminal.
In Sta. Cruz, Laguna, Tutubi also saw the DLTB bus station on the former bus terminal of Kapalaran Bus Line (KBL once ruled the Manila to Sta. Cruz route against the former red buses of BLTB) near the Pagsawitan junction and Asian Travelers Hotel in Sta. Cruz.
The Cubao to Sta. Cruz and Pasay - Sta. Cruz routes used to be dominated and monopolized by HM Transport and Green Star Express respectively, both under the wings of JAM Transit (with terminal in Barangay Pagsawitan, Pagsanjan)
Bus fare: LRT to Sta. Cruz, Laguna: phP132.00 Buendia to calamba: PhP74.00
DLTBco Trip Schedules: Buendia to Sta. Cruz: first trip at 4am. last trip at 10pm
DLTB Co doesn't have yet an official website but has a facebook page. please call or email them directly for the latest fares, trip schedules, freight/waybill charges and charter bus rates.
anonymous, nope. DLTB is owned by DMMV something like Del Monte...that's why my officemates who commute everyday to Tanauan, Batangas call DLTB as ketchup though i don't think there's a relation between DLTB and Del Monte catsup
