Air conditioned coaches leave Pasay twice daily and from Caloocan every hour on the hour, Busses now also depart from Cubao and Sampaloc, check the Victory Liner website for departure information. Regular buses also ply the route but take considerably longer as they do not traverse the Northern Luzon Expressway.

By Private Vehicle: From Manila take the North Expressway "NLEX", pass the San Fernando / Olongapo, Subic Exit, look for the signs for the NEW Tarlac - Subic expressway "SCTEX" (the opening of this has shortened travel time by about an hour, from the old 4 to 5 hours, to 3 to 4 hours) and follow that directly into S.B.M.A. (Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority). Once inside the Freeport be sure to follow the Traffic rules, as rolling Stop signs, speeding Etc. will not be tollerated and you will surely get a traffic ticket if you do.
