Updated Supercat Schedule

There is actually an update on Supercat Schedule of trips. I was in a hurry and just added a comment on one of the entries. Here's the link. Supercat now has two boats servicing Calapan - Batangas route: Supercat 23 and Supercat 20. Regular fare is Php 255.00, Php205.00 for students. They also give discounts for minors (4-11 y/o) and Senior Citizens. They also still have Tipid Trip Promo on selected trips which offers Php180.00 flat rate fare per person. You may call any of the following numbers for more details on the promo:

• Batangas Port Ticketing Office : +63 (43) 723-0179
• Calapan Port Ticketing Office : +63 (43) 288-3179

Other Fastcraft Servicing Batangas-Calapan Route

Montenegro Shipping Lines has now a fastcraft servicing Batangas-Calapan (v.v.) route. Currently they have an all-day promo of Php180/person fare. It is smaller than the other fastcraft, The Supercat, and it travels  approximately one (1) hour.

 

Being a busy port, considering that this route is now included in Philippine Nautical Highway, having an alternative like this is a big help for the passengers like me, who regularly uses this route. 

ATM Machine at Batangas Port

I would like to include in this blog that Batangas Port Terminal II has a BPI ATM Machine serving clients of Expressnet, which is the primary network of the following banks:

• Landbank of the Philippines
• BPI Family Savings Bank
• BPI Direct Savings Bank
• Banco de Oro (tied up with Megalink)
  
• HSBC
• HSBC Savings Bank

ATM Machine also caters for Cirrus and Maestro for MasterCard, , Diners Club credit, debit and prepaid cards.

Please be advised that ATM charges fees on withdrawal and balance inquiries from non-members of the bank. Please check with your own bank for current ATM usage fees.

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. :-)
