He added that the busport most commonly handles trips to Batangas and Quezon, with some long trips going up to Nueva Ecija, Pangasinan and Benguet.

“Nag-aaverage lang kami dito ng 400 passengers daily. But yung mga nakaraang araw, umabot din kami ng 700. Hopefully, by this day hanggang papunta tayo sa Holy Thursday and Good Friday, mag-aabot kami ng 1,000 plus,” Legazpi detailed.
