Victory Liner is taking the shorter route to Baguio. By using
the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) deluxe bus trips to Baguio is now a
mere 4 hours – about 2 hours faster compared to traditional bus routes.
Travel is also made safer and more convenient as the buses no
longer have to take the usually narrower, sometimes unevenly paved, national
roads leading to the provinces.
"Other than reducing travel time, we just wanted to provide
our regular commuters a better and safer route," explains Marivic Del Pilar,
treasury and marketing manager of Victory Liner. Recent statistics prove it has
always been safer and faster to travel on major highways than on provincial
roads, where traffic is usually not monitored and regulated.
Since the SCTEX’s Clark-Tarlac segment was opened to
commercial operations last July 25, the company has started sending its latest
fleet of deluxe buses bound for Baguio via this route.
"Aside from the deluxe buses, we also plan to use the SCTEX for our
full-packed regular aircon buses coming down from Baguio to Manila.
