We have a more updated article here: BAGUIO BUS SCHEDULES!
2020 January 28
Solid North (more formally Pangasinan Solid North Transit) is the latest company to add a premium bus service to Baguio City. Launched in July last year, it operates from PITX (Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange) and uses TPLEX to reach Baguio.
The company touts the service as the “first and only Manila-Baguio Point-to-Point bus.” But as far as I know, Victory Liner’s First Class and JoyBus have been running a direct, non-stop premium service to Baguio for far longer, so I don’t know about that. But Solid North offers some of the cheapest P2P tickets, which is great for budget travelers who want to be a little bit more comfortable.
Solid North has two P2P classes:
- Luxury Class. 28-seater bus with 3 seats per row (2+1). Equipped with in-bus restroom, Lazy Boy seat recliner, free wifi, and USB charging ports. Complimentary snacks and bottled water are also provided. Fare: P760.
- Super Deluxe Class. 45-seater with 4 seats per row (2+2). Equipped with in-bus restroom, free wifi, and USB charging ports. They also provide complimentary snacks and bottled water. Fare: P525.
Here are photos of the Luxury Class.
Like JoyBus and Victory Liner First Class, Solid North P2P buses don’t make any stop along the way, shortening the travel time to only 5-7 hours, depending on how heavy the EDSA traffic is. As you might already know, traffic conditions in Manila has been dismal and it can take one to two hours to get out of EDSA, longer if it’s rush hour. But once you’re out of Metro Manila, the journey takes less than 4 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is advanced reservation required?
You can simply show up at the terminal and buy your tickets there. But in peak seasons like Panagbenga Festival (February), Holy Week, All Saints’ Day, and Christmas holidays, you might want to book in advance to be safe.
Where can I book tickets online?
You will be charged an online booking fee, which is understandable because it’s more convenient and cheaper than having to actually go to the terminal to reserve.
Can I cancel my booking?
Can I rebook?
You can only rebook once.
How long is the travel time?
But once you’re out of Metro Manila, the journey takes less than 4 hours.
It’s still far shorter than taking the regular bus with stopovers.
Do buses from Baguio to PITX stop in Cubao?
Some buses do drop off passengers in Araneta Center in Cubao. But NOT ALL.
In the timetable above, the buses that make a stop in Cubao are marked with “via Araneta.”
