How to Commute to Lucena from Alabang

Start Point: Alabang South Station
Go to Route Index
List of PUV Terminals

Route used: Alabang-Zapote Road > SLEX > Pan-Philippine Highway (Maharlika Highway)

Estimated travel time: 3-4 hours depending on traffic

1. The provincial bus terminal in South Station is located on the side nearest the Alabang exit of SLEX. If you're on Alabang-Zapote Road facing South Station, it's a straight line towards the very rear of South Station.
2. The bus line servicing this route is N. Dela Rosa Liner. Get on any of its buses going to Lucena (they're parked beside the public restroom).

Note: You have a choice of aircon or non-aircon buses. For comfort and convenience, go with the aircon bus but if you're on a budget, the non-aircon bus has a slightly cheaper fare.

3. Tell the conductor to drop you off at Lucena. You can get off at the intersection of the Pan-Philippine Highway and the Tayabas-Lucena Road.

Landmark: A Jollibee store sits at the corner, and the conductor will also inform you that you can already get down. (See it in Google Maps)

Note: That portion of the Pan-Philippine Highway is also called the Lucena Diversion Road. So sometimes you'll hear the conductor yell, "Diversion Road, pa-bayan!" That's your cue to get down.

4. Once you get down, there are already jeeps in the area heading to Lucena Bayan.

Note: You can keep riding the bus and get down at Lucena Grand Terminal. There are jeeps there also heading to Lucena Bayan but they will also make their turn at the area mentioned in Step 3. So you may as well shortcut the process by following Step 3 above.
