Getting There

If you are driving to Luzon from Central Luzon, you will need to navigate to a major highway like the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX). From cities like San Fernando or Angeles City, take the NLEX and head north. Follow the signs for the exit towards the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) or the Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEX) if you are coming from the northwest. Continue driving until you reach the Luzon area. Make sure to check for any toll fees that may apply, which can range from PHP 45 to PHP 500 depending on your route.

Bus
To reach Luzon via public transportation, find a bus terminal in your city. For example, if you are in San Fernando, head to the San Fernando Bus Terminal. Look for buses heading to Manila or other major destinations in Luzon. Major bus lines such as Victory Liner or Genesis Transport have regular schedules. The fare will vary, typically costing between PHP 150 to PHP 300 depending on your destination within Luzon. Make sure to ask the conductor if the bus goes directly to Luzon or if you need to transfer.
-
Train
You can also consider taking a train to reach Luzon. Head to the nearest Philippine National Railways (PNR) station. For example, if you are in Pampanga, you can travel to the nearest station in Manila. From there, take the PNR train to various destinations in Luzon. Train fares are relatively inexpensive, generally between PHP 20 to PHP 100 depending on the distance. Ensure to check the train schedule in advance as services may vary.

Combination of Public Transport
A combination of jeepneys and buses is another efficient way to reach Luzon. Start by taking a jeepney from your location to the nearest bus terminal. Once there, board a bus heading towards major cities in Luzon. This option may take a little longer due to multiple transfers, but it is a cost-effective choice. Total transportation costs may range from PHP 100 to PHP 400 depending on the distance and number of transfers.
