Making long travels safe for bus passengers

MANILA, Philippines – Life on the road for many Filipino commuters can be tough. But 36-year-old father-of-two Jun Ildefonso is actually fond of the long bus ride from his home in Malolos, Bulacan going to Guagua, Pampanga. On other days, he travels from Malolos to Ortigas Avenue in Pasig City. 

“My work requires me to take considerably long distances for six days a week,” shares Jun. “Every day, at 5:30 a.m., I take Victory Liner bus no. 137. I’ve been doing this for over five years now.”

Jun is a chief financial officer’s executive assistant for an electrical company. Although he has a daily hectic schedule, Jun can fortunately take comfortable rests at the bus, or go online via its readily available Wi-Fi to check work-related emails or simply to leisurely browse the web. His favorite pastime is to check his Twitter account; otherwise, he chats with the bus driver who has already become a friend.

“I always choose Victory Liner because they’re always on time, reliable, convenient, clean and comfortable,” he reveals. “The seats are spacious — good for long naps. Aside from the free Wi-Fi, there is nice music and a television set so passengers wouldn’t get bored during the trip.”

Safety is also of paramount importance to Jun. “I want to always be able to go home to my family,” he quips. Responsible bus drivers and safety features that ensure his well-being on the road are both a big deal for Jun. “VLI buses are equipped with state-of-the-art GPS, speed-limiter and a CCTV for security. What’s more, bus drivers and conductors are courteous, dependable and knowledgeable in defensive driving. They are never late and are consistently professional.”

This is the highest level of comfort and safety that Victory Liner Inc. (VLI) has forged for over 70 years as Filipinos’ most trusted partner on their journey. The bus company’s brand of service has enabled it to become the largest public bus transportation provider servicing Northern Luzon destinations.

Aside from work-related travels, Jun also opts to avail  himself of the VLI deluxe bus going to Baguio which is his favorite vacation destination. “The first-class service includes having a comfort room onboard, Lazy Boy type seats, and a stewardess who assists passengers, serves snacks and is ready to extend medical assistance and first aid in case needed.”

For Jun and many other regular passengers, the bus company takes a significant part of their daily lives. Aside from its conveniences, VLI ensures its passengers get to their destination safely and on time, in the most comfortable way possible.
