Route A is shorter.
teritoryo ni the_wildthing to ah.

[NightRock]

depende kung saan ka sa manila galing... pero yung Route A mas ok less trapik

[5Speed]

yung route B malayo but you can do a spirited driving sa zigzag ng laguna....walang trapik dyan, medyo malayo lang..... dyan kami dumadaan kapag pupunta kami ng lucena tapos weekend pa..... makakapagside-trip ka pa sa caliraya kung hindi ka nagmamadali or makakabili ka pa ng mga native foods sa daan....

[RedHorse]

thanks...

just getting ready for the long weekend, on a bad timing/choose of route , 5 hours na kaagad ang kakainin, lucena pa lang... destination is actually 800kms from manila.

[wildthing]

teka bakit 800kms? Lucena is less than 200km from manila...tiaong is almost 100km and it is just an hour away (without traffic). Suggest ko take the normal Route and just leave early lang (mga 4 or 5 am from Manila) para nasa Candelaria ka na before 8am.

[Ungas]

Or plan your schedule a day ahead of everyone else's trip. Pag umaalis ako ng Manila by 3am-4am nasa Lucena ako before sunrise. Mas maluwag ang highway and less congestion sa cementery spots along the way. Afaik, there are 2 towns na madadaanan ang cemetery before reaching the town proper itself. I would only choose your route B if Sariaya bridge is impassable. Delikado yung tight curves sa may Luisiana part pag di kabisado yung daan, especially at night.

Sa Samar yata ang byahe ni RedHorse kaya 800kms. trip. Lucena is around ~120kms. from Manila.

[RedHorse]

yong tight curves, same doon paakyat ng tagaytay? yong route natin sa fun run?

[Ungas]

Yup, asphalt roads dati yun ewan ko ngayon kung nabago na. Merong blind corners.

[rsnald]

Visayas or Mindanao ba byahe mo redhorse? ilayo nun ah, 800 kms?

anyways, going to your routes:
mabilis ang alternate route A kung maaga ka aalis, say 3-4 a.m. wala kang kalaban nyan. during normal travelling hours (6am onwards), kalaban mo mga bus and travellers going south.

Route B: more scenery and lots of zigzags, mas malawak ng konti compared to the road that we went up going to tagatay, meron blind spots pero karamihan may railings naman. kung nalusutan mo yung sa tagaytay, mas madali naman yung mga zigzags sa tanay and pililla at saka mostly asphalt yung zigzags, concrete naman yung patag na roads, most are in good if not excellent condition. kung swerte ka, halos wala ding trapik yan, except during all saints day. madaming sementeryo kang dadaanan sa ruta na yan, at least 4 or 5 yata at dun ka matatatrapik. not to mention the churches along that route, at yung sabungan bago dumating ng pagsanjan. pag natyempo ka sa araw ng tupada (sundays yata yun), matrapik din pero short stretch lang naman.

Update lang po going to Lucena City...

Lucena is 132 kms south of Manila. May take you 3-3.5 hours or more travel time as the whole SLEX is presently undergoing widening & rehabilitation works so expect heavy build-ups. Travel is a breeze when you leave Manila early in the morning or late in the evening. Usual travel time from Alabang to Lucena at these times should be 1.45 - 2 hours only!

Landmark Leg Distance Distance from Rizal Park (km 0)

end of South Luzon Tollway 44.5, = 44kms
Sto Tomas,Batangas 8.3, = 52kms
Alaminos,Laguna 13.3, = 66kms
San Pablo Bypass Road Laguna 9.0, = 75kms
Tiaong,Quezon 12.6, = 87kms
- will pass by Villa Escudero Entrance

Candelaria,Quezon 12.2, = 100kms
Sariaya Church,Quezon 12.0, = 112kms
Lucena Tayabas Junction 3.9, = 115kms
Lucena Diversion Crossing 6.5, = 122kms
- will pas by Max's Restaurant
* this long stretch of road that bypasses Lucena is the gateway to Bicol Region and other towns of Quezon Province. About midway is Grand Central Terminal. There is also an intersection, Tayabas-Lucena City Proper right before the Grand Central Terminal

Lucena City Proper 10.0, = 132kms

travel safe!
