Lemery sits on Balayan Bay in Batangas, a quiet heritage town of old stone houses a few hours south of the capital. You can ride a provincial bus to the PITX terminal on the southern edge of Metro Manila, or book a private vehicle that drops you at your hotel or at the airport.
Lemery to Manila by Bus
Lemery is one of the Batangas destinations served from PITX, the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange. Batangas, Laguna and Quezon buses use Gate 5 on the ground floor, and Ticket Booth 4 sells tickets for Batangas lines such as DLTB, Ceres-Goldstar and ALPS. From PITX, the EDSA Carousel bus line connects to Cubao, Megamall, Pasay Rotonda, EDSA Ayala, MOA and MCU.[1]
Lemery to Manila by Private Transfer
A private vehicle goes door to door, which helps with luggage, groups or an early flight. On booking platforms, Batangas to Manila transfers in an economy car for 3, a minivan for 4 or a van for 9 start at about $82 per vehicle (October 2026), and the drive takes from about 3 hours.[2] Traffic on the South Luzon Expressway decides how long it really takes.
Tips for Traveling from Lemery to Manila
- Leave early: start before the morning rush, because Metro Manila traffic can double the drive.
- Name your drop-off: Manila is huge, so give the driver the district, hotel or airport terminal when you book.
- Match the vehicle to your luggage: three people with six suitcases need a van, not a minivan.
- Book ahead on weekends and holidays: many Manila residents head to the provinces then.
