Pinoy Travel is still in beta but you can already book tickets from Metro Manila to Baguio and Cagayan via Victory Liner. More routes and round trip booking will follow.
For other destinations, you can use Pinoy Travel to check for schedules. You can go to their website or download the Pinoy Travel Android app from Google Play.
Ready to try Pinoy Travel? You have to search for your route first and then decide which schedule suits you. For now, the schedule needs to be at least 3 business days away. This allows them to process your reservation properly.
You need to provide your name, email address for validation and your cellphone number so that Pinoy Travel can inform you with the status of your trip.
For now, Pinoy Travel only allows credit and debit card payment using PayPal. They said that they will add other payment modes.
