Hello po. Sa partas bus po papunta, narvacan po sinakyan nyo. Hindi po ung san juan? Alin po ba mas malapit kapag san juan ung transient?

[@rkklncryl_]

@@andies1011 hello po, actually po san juan rin po transient namin. sa partas terminal po pwede nyo pong sabihin na pa san juan po kayo pupunta. that time kasi, narvacan na biyahe po yung available kaya yun po binili namin since dadaan din naman ng san juan

[@andies1011]

Magwalk in nalang din po siguro kami. Late po kasi ung mga trip na mabobook online sa partas. Thank you so much po ❤
