Got a nice surprise this morning when I came to the Supercat ticketing office in Calapan Port to buy a ticket to Batangas City and found out that the ticket they are now selling are being printed while you wait. For a long time, passengers get used to having a pre-printed tickets. What's nice is, you don't have to write your name on the passenger manifest. Just provide a valid ID and the teller will input the necessary information to their computer terminal and voila, you'll get your printed ticket and you are included in the passenger list.
I remember when Supercat was just starting its operation in Calapan City (way back when the fare on Calapan-Batangas route is just Php 45.00), they were already using the same system (different ticket format, though).
Well, I got a non-aircon seat (it's at the second floor of the vessel) at Php 200.00. Had a chance to appreaciate the islands (the three small islands in Calapan Bay and the Verde Island in Batangas), and some playful dolphins!
Aircon accomodation is Php 280.00 (one way). I just wonder why the fare is the same for the vessel which can take the Calapan - Batangas route in one hour and the other vessel that takes one and a half hour to get there? Shouldn't there be a price difference?
Anyway, the boat trip was smooth. No undue delays. Looks like the crew had a good night sleep.
After the boat trip, I got aboard one of the Buses bound to LRT Buendia, fare is Php 166.50. Traffic is moving ok so the trip went fine.

Supercat Tipid Trips Promo
Supercat has an on-going promo dubbed as "Tipid Trips Promo".
Promo started last November 7, 2007 and will last until December 14, 2007. There will be a flat rate of Php180 pesos for all types of passengers (regular, students, senior citizens, minors, and disabled) for the first 30 passengers or within one hour after the previous trip has departed, whichever comes first. The promo is for selected trips only, on first-come, first-served basis and there is no advanced issuance of tickets.
For the non-Tagalog speaking readers: Tipid means "thrift", so it may go like Thrift Trip Promo. :-)
