Would you rather endure a grueling overnight trip, or get a good night’s sleep and wake up already at your destination? A “good night’s sleep” requires a comfy bed and a cozy pillow, which you can now experience on the road with sleeper buses! Travel from Manila to Bicol doesn’t have to mean a stiff neck and cramped legs; with sleeper buses, it’ll be just a snore and a dream away.

Why Choose a Sleeper Bus

Unlike regular provincial buses with standard upright seating, a sleeper bus replaces those bus seats with double-decker bunk beds where passengers can rest during the journey. Even though regular bus seats can recline, it also reduces the legroom of the person sitting behind you, and that would be an uncomfortable compromise.

In a sleeper bus, you have the entire bed to yourself, which means you can sit up and lie down without disturbing anyone’s space. Speaking of reclining seats, your bed can also recline and sit up to your heart’s content, complete with a pillow.

Additionally, your bed-seat also features amenities that can help you throughout your journey, like USB charging ports to charge your devices, personal TV screens for your entertainment, individual headlamps per pod that you can turn on and off, privacy curtains to block out the aisle, and an onboard toilet in the bus.
