Gone are the days where traveling to Baler is torturous. Today, concrete pavement replaced the bumpy dirt roads along the zigzagging path to Aurora. But also another great development, is the mode of transportation. The Genesis Transport Service recently unveiled a new line of executive coaches that made it even better to travel by bus. Ladies and gentlemen, traveling in style and comfort, here is the Joybus to Baler.

and of course, the JoyBus is surfer friendly.
the bus is spacious, well conditioned and the seats are super comfortable.
LokalSoul recommends riding the JoyBus every time you’re going to Baler. No seriously, it’s that good. It’s like flying first class on a luxury plane. Here, take a look at the reasons why you really should aboard this heaven sent bus.
Never had a bus before with that much amenities. Genesis did have executive coaches before, but not like this. Comfort room on board? That’s amazing. By now I’m sure you can’t wait to try the JoyBus. Check out their schedules and some important details below.

[...] packed my bag and board and reserved a seat on a bus going to Baler. I reserved a seat on the JOYBUS and paid through BDO Php 695 for a single trip. For some, this is already expensive, but for a [...]
Hello. You know what? This blog is very helpful despite the fact that this was posted over a year ago. We plan to go to baler next month but because it says here that reservation must be done earlier i called already for reservation a minute ago. Thank you thank you! 2 thumbs up!
I want to reserve a seat for joy bus and pay thru BDO, but, there’s no BDO in North America. Can Joy Bus management inform the public the BDO Bank Account number where we can transfer/remit or send our ticket payment?.. Much better, how can we pay by VISA?
This payment scheme will help bring more tourists to Baler, isnt it?
Hi! I’m going to Baler in January 2013 with my husband and 20 month old baby. Do you happen to know if there’s fee for infant too? We’re thinking of bringing along our car seat just for our daughter’s security, would that also cost PHP695? I gave my niece the Genesis contact numbers posted here but she said she couldn’t get through the line. Thanks and hope to hear from you soon!
Hi. My husband, my 19 month old baby and I are visiting Baler in January 2013. I have too many questions and asked my niece to contact Genesis bus but she said she couldn’t get through the line. Anyways our most important concern is, does the Joybus have seatbelts? We’re bringing along our daughter’s car seat so she can sleep in the bus comfortably and to save us the trouble too in keeping her seated. I’m hoping it’s possible to bring it or we might end up renting a car.
hi Judy, the Joybuses definitely have seatbelts and I’m sure the car seat would lock up just fine. just a head’s up though, you might wanna reserve for the first or second row seats behind the driver. They are the ones most stable. and bring winter clothes for the baby. it’s winter cold inside the bus. Have a safe trip!
All numbers provided are hard to reach and it’s stressing me out since we paid for our seats already. Even this Loren Zubia’s number can’t be reached!!!!
I plan to go back to my homeland this coming March so i want to know kung mgp reserve aq ng sits a day before na uuwi aq ehh mkk avail aq ng sits,.. and how long ang travel coz 8 hours travel in an ordinary is a very big problem to me,.. hope i will get answer ASAP ,.. THANKS
yes 1 day before makaka avail ka. and kapag Joybus it only takes about 5 to 6 hrs
Hi Lokalsoul, tanong ko lang sana kung ganon pa rin kaya yung schedule ng Baler-Manila? 4:30am and 3PM pa rin? Any idea? Thank you!
matagal tagal na akong hindi nakaka Joybus hehe pero alam ko ganun parin. meron ata 3am.
