Travelling from Manila to Baguio City used to be very uncomfortable and tiring - imagine sitting inside a bus or a car for about seven hours while going through traffic and the winding roads. However, when we tried Victory Liner's De Luxe Buses, I realized going to Baguio City and back to Manila is now very convenient. 
A Deluxe Bus has a comfort room (CR) and a bus stewardess. There is free water and cake and video showing. Travel time is about five hours since the buses pass the SCTEX and there is no stop-over. The fare is P700.00. There is another type of Deluxe bus but with no CR - it has one stop-over and travel time is also about five hours and the fare is P650.00. The regular aircon bus has a fare which is less than P500.00 but it takes about seven hours travel time because of the many stop-overs. Riding a De Luxe Bus is more expensive than the regular aircon bus but it is more comfortable (the seats are wider and there is ample space between passengers and you can even raise and stretch your legs) and travel time is less. Actually, it is also more comfortable than driving your own car - imagine the stress in going through the traffic for more than five hours. The only stressful experience is the long queue in buying the ticket at the Cubao Station. I hope Victory Liner has an online reservation for De Luxe Buses.

When you are in Baguio City, going around using public transport especially the taxi is cheap and convenient. The taxi drivers are honest - they return the exact change. Driving your own car in Baguio City, if you are not familair with the roads, is not advisable - I am sure you will get lost.
