DLTB, former BLTB is back. People who grew up in Quezon, Batangas and Laguna in the 80's surely remembers what BLTB means. BLTB stands for Batangas, Laguna, Tayabas Bus Co. Quezon was originally called Tayabas. It went out of business some years back. But I think sometime this year it came back again with a new name. It is now called DLTB. I think it is under new management.
In my last few trips to Quezon I rode DLTB. The first time I rode DLTB was unintentional. It's just that the Jac Liner that goes to SM Lucena just left and the next one would take about an hour (the next bus goes only to the Grand Central Terminal). I was rushing so I went to the next bus station and found out that the bus would be leaving in 10 minutes.
The trip was actually good. There still aren't a lot of people riding DLTB so I had no seatmate. I was able to put my bag beside me. And since the buses are relatively new, they do not smell bad. There was a sign that says wi-fi on board. Hmmmm.... No originality. Jac Liner was the first one to offer that. But who am I to complain. lol I asked the driver for the password. He said there is none. I also asked him if all buses have wi-fi. He said not yet. They are still waiting for additional routers. That's fine. Jac Liner was like that too in the beginning.
Since then I have been taking DLTB for my trips. It was particularly helpful after the All Saints Day break. I knew there would be a lot of passengers so I decided to go to the DLTB station instead of the other terminals.The bus left with me as their only passenger. But two bus stops after, the bus was already full.
Anyway, what i like about the bus is that it is not always full, I can put my bag on the seat right beside me, the seats are still good and comfortable, once in a while there is wi-fi, it doesn;t smell bad, they do not stay long at the bus terminal and to top it all, the drivers seem to be careful.
