Metro Manila City Bus Guide: Routes, Schedules, and Fares

Public utility buses (PUBs) are one of the most common public utility vehicles (PUVs) that serve as public modes of transport in the Philippines. Especially in Metro Manila where a lot of people need to get around for work and other business, buses are quite popular for land transport. Not only are they cost-effective and cheap which makes them affordable for the average Filipino, but they also run numerous routes and offer frequent departures and stops which makes them the most accessible option for land transport. The city buses, in particular, also ply wide avenues and routes often connect suburbs, which is also one of their appeal.

However, using the buses to get around, though popular, is not without down3sides. Both the bus and the stops are generally congested, especially during rush hours. The buses also don’t run on fixed schedules and delays are also quite common. In fact, it isn’t uncommon for buses to leave only when it’s full. Despite these, buses are the go-to transport service for many Filipinos, making it an indispensable part of the daily lives of city-dwellers who need accessible land transport in and around the metro.

There are various city bus routes covering different areas in Metro Manila for commuters. The city buses that run through these routes regulate the fares based on the minimum fare of P12.00 plus an additional increment depending on the distance traveled and zones. Express or P2P buses, on the other hand, have a fixed flat rate. Regardless, the law regarding fare discounts available for seniors, students, and disabled individuals apply.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is an LTO violation?

An LTO (Land Transportation Office) violation is an offense against any laws, regulations, or policies enforced by the Land Transportation Office in the Philippines. Generally, this includes any breach of traffic laws such as speeding, overloading, unauthorized use of private vehicles for commercial purposes, not wearing helmets when riding motorbikes, or driving without valid license and registration.

2. What are the penalties for LTO violations?

The penalties for LTO violations vary depending on the severity and nature of the offense committed. Generally, fines range from a few hundred to several thousand pesos. Additionally, offenders may face additional penalties such as suspension or revocation of their driver’s license and/or vehicle impoundment for more serious offenses like reckless driving or operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

3. How can I pay my LTO fines?

Payment of fines can be made at any Land Transportation Office branch nationwide via cash or check payment. Credit card payments are also accepted at select branches through accredited partners like Bayad Center and SM Payment Centers. For convenience, payment can also be made online through an accredited partner’s website or mobile app using credit card or bank accounts linked to local banks in the Philippines like BPI and BDO.

4. Is it possible to dispute an LTO fine?

Yes — if you believe that you have been wrongly cited with an offense or that your fine was excessive in amount then you may dispute it with the Land Transportation Office by filing an appeal letter in person at any of its branches nationwide. The filing fee for appeals is typically between PHP 500-1000 depending on the type of violation involved.

5. Are there additional fees associated with LTO violations?

Yes — aside from paying the applicable fines associated with your specific case, additional fees may be incurred depending on different factors such as where you live in the country and how long it takes to settle your case before the court hearing date arrives if needed. These fees can include summons fees, late payment fees (if applicable), among others determined by local ordinances in your area within reasonableness limits set forth by law.

6. Are there any legal assistance services available if I’m charged with an LTO violation?

Yes — the Philippine Bar Association offers free legal aid to persons accused of committing an offense against the Land Transportation Office. Lawyers from the association can provide advice and representation on various matters related to traffic violations, such as appeals and negotiations with authorities for lower fines or reduced penalties. In addition, a number of private law firms in the country specialize in handling traffic cases and can also offer professional legal advice and representation for those accused of violating LTO laws.

7. What happens if I fail to pay my LTO fine?

Failing to pay your due fines for an LTO violation may result in further penalties imposed by the authorities. This could include the suspension or revocation of your driver’s license, the impounding of your vehicle, and even possible incarceration in certain cases. It is important to pay any due fines in a timely manner to avoid additional costs and penalties that may arise from late payment.

8. What other measures should I take after being charged with an LTO violation?

Aside from settling any due fines as quickly as possible, drivers charged with an LTO violation should also ensure that relevant documents such as their driver’s license and vehicle registration are valid and up-to-date. Furthermore, if you believe that the charge against you was false or excessive then it is advisable to seek legal counsel to dispute the case and explore possible options for reducing the fines or penalties imposed. In any case, it is best to remain compliant with all LTO rules and regulations in order to avoid unnecessary complications or setbacks.

9. Are there any other resources available to help me understand LTO laws?

Yes — the website of the Land Transportation Office has a wealth of information about traffic laws and regulations that can be referenced anytime. Additionally, several online sources provide comprehensive guides on Philippine driving rules and regulations including types of violations and corresponding fines/penalties associated with each one. Lastly, local newspapers often publish relevant updates regarding new traffic laws as they are enacted from time-to-time so keeping an eye out for such news can also be beneficial.
