Easiest way to go to baguio from manila

**ParticleX** · February 27th, 2015 05:37 AM

Lagi akong passenger when going to Baguio, this time ako naman designated driver. Gusto ko sana sundan yung Partas route going to SF La Union muna para medyo familiar sa akin (kahit siguro matraffic), anong exits ang i-take ko? (Short of actually following a Partas bus ha

)

Pag nasa LU na ako kabisado ko na going up via Naguillian

Yung daan papuntang SF LU kapareho lang ng daan papuntang Kennon, pero sobrang mas malayo kung via Naguilian ka. The time it takes you to get to SF from the junction of MacArthur and Kennon is the same time it takes to get up to Baguio. Eh sa gusto mong route, SF palang yun, aakyat ka pang Naguilian which is at least another hour.

Just take NLEX-SCTEX-TPLEX until Urdaneta. Traverse MacArthur for about 20km, then you'll reach the junction of Kennon (may Caltex, Petron, Shell). Turn right to go up Kennon (fastest), or left if you wanna go via SF-Naguilian or Marcos.

May relatives kasi ako dun sa LU so parang rest stop na rin at the same time i-tour sila around town and the beaches nearby (or sa Thunderbird), saka distance would not be an issue, di naman kami nagmamadali hehe

Medyo matagal na rin ako di nakaakyat up north (di ko pa naabutan ang TPLEX being operational). Ang questions ko eh

(1) May direct connection ba from SCTEX to TPLEX? If wala, anong exit sa SCTEX would take me to TPLEX?
(2) Saan ako mag exit sa TPLEX? As per research, Urdaneta ang last(?) exit as for now so I assume dito. May signages ba rito directing to McArthur? Then straight na ito to junction. Familiar na ako dito papunta SF then Baguio na.

Thanks!

Tama si bro jut703...another hour or so ang dagdag sa trip mo by taking Naguilian road. Marcos hiway (Aspiras) is actually easier to navigate than Naguilian road dahil mas wider ang road.
But if you really want Naguilian road as your route of choice, your exit shall be in Bauang at Caltex gas station. Just turn right after passing Bauang police station and there you go to Naguilian road.

Diretso lang from sctex to tplex. Iisa lang ang toll gate nila. Pag surrender mo card ng sctex bibigyan ka naman ng card ng tplex if going up north, then reverse when going south.

Would anyone know if the single ticketing system for the NLEX-SCTEX-TPLEX be in place in time for the Holy Week? TIA

Kayang kaya ng Ertiga yan. Vios ko nga 1.3 lang tapos AT pa, pero I was still able to overtake uphill even with 3 passengers on board.

Ok, salamat bossing Jut703... Pero siguro hindi ako mag overtake uphill hehe, lalo na pag kasama si Esmi. Sana this year or next kami makapunta dyan sa norte.
