SiriBus free shuttle service from Laoag Airport to downtown

Tourists and guests to Ilocos Norte are treated to a free bus ride from Laoag Airport to the city proper via the SiriBus, a shuttle service provided by the provincial government. Budget travelers can readily avail of this transportation service instead of hiring a van or tricycle to take them to Laoag City or downtown area. Upon arrival at the airport, those who wish to ride the SiriBus are required to sign up for the free service. The registration booth is located within the arrival area, near the tourism information desk. The shuttle is air-conditioned with comfortable and spacious seats.

If you’re new to Laoag, just inform the SiriBus driver or the bus conductor your destination within the city or where you will be staying, otherwise you can request them to drop you off at a nearby location if it’s not included in the bus route. In our case, we asked to be dropped off at a local bank branch. Yup, we still had to do some banking transactions even on a holiday trip. 🙂

Laoag Airport is about 7 kilometers or 15-20 minutes ride to the city proper, thus the SiriBus free ride is a welcome treat indeed for first-time budget travelers to Ilocos. Now this makes me wish a similar free shuttle service to Bacolod City is also offered at the Bacolod-Silay Airport. 😉
