FROM MANILA:
There
are lots of bus companies that operate from Manila to Lucena. It just
depends on where in Lucena you are going. There are buses that go as
far as Dalahican Port via Lucena Grand Central Terminal and others go
directly to Lucena City only.
Take
a taxi, jeepney or bus going to the designated bus terminals for Jac
Liner, Jam Liner or Lucena Lines. I always ride Jac Liner bus because
they are new, the seats are comfortable and I feel safe with them. Not
to mention there’s a free wi-fi on board. Regular fare from Buendia to
Lucena is Php209.50.

At
the bus terminal, look for the bus with a signboard Lucena “Lucena
City/Grand Central” or “Lucena/Dalahican”. Tell the conductor where you
want to be dropped off and then prepare yourself for a 3 to 4 hours
travel. The road in Quezon was under construction when I visited so the
usual 3 hours trip took 4 hours instead.
Just ask the conductor to drop you off in front or near the Sariaya church. Please note that Sariaya is one of the busiest towns in Quezon Province so expect the worst traffic. From the church you can hail a tricycle to take you to your destination. Or better yet, walk from there to your destination to see the old houses and enjoy the scenery.
