New Year, new beginnings.
Everyone's busy travelling to and from their respective destinations for work,
play, or just because. While people work on building the best start of the
year, others are busying themselves in improving the kind of transpo services
that we get to make sure we get there quick, safe, and convenient.
Being regular commuters, we know
how important it is for people to have access to affordable, safe, and
leisurely commuting experience. With the fast paced life that has taken over
everyone in recent years, sometimes the only rest we get is that bus ride
we take on the way home, to work, or to wherever our schedule takes us.
Sometimes that 1 hour nap or muscle rest you get can make a huge difference to
the rest of your day. Because of this, commuters are now taking into
consideration the key facilities of the transport services that they subscribe
to. Jam Liner, seems to have picked up and responded to the challenge with a
grand makeover, so we came over to check it out.
The
Terminal
The
Buendia terminal is strategically located right below the Gil Puyat station of
the LRT. I think the location in itself is a real plus because you’d want
everything to just be within reach.

We were greeted with an
airport-like lobby where passengers waited for their trip. It’s a fully air-conditioned waiting lounge,
complete with clean chairs, flat screen televisions, and a restroom. There’s
even a convenience store where you can stock up on pika-pika and other
necessities while on the trip. Just
like an actual airport, the seats are arranged in front of certain “gates”
corresponding to the different routes that the Buendia Terminal caters to:
Calabarzon, Luena, Cabuyao, Balibago, Batangas, and Lemery. Really cool, they're probably one of the first
bus companies to adopt this type of setup.

AND
excuse me, the whole terminal is powered with WI-FI. And the wi-fi ACTUALLY
WORKS. Hahah. Sosyal mehn!
