(SPOT.ph) Baguio City is one of the best places if you want a change of scenery, get away from the heat, and eat good food. And gone are the days when heading to the City of Pines takes up to eight or nine hours, especially now that Victory Liner launched Express Buses with shorter travel time. Bus fare starts at P626 per head.

Here's what you need to know about Victory Liner Baguio Express Bus:
There are two types of Express Buses: The Regular Aircon Express Bus and the First Class Express Bus, and both go pass through the SCTEX-TPLEX (Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway and Tarlac–Pangasinan–La Union Expressway).
Taking Victory Liner's Express Bus can take you to Baguio in five to six hours. It's faster by an hour compared to the regular buses that go through the inner cities (such as Dagu, Carmen, and Luisita), which take six to seven hours. Every second counts if you're in a hurry to go to Baguio or get back to Manila.
