Limitation: The “aircon” buses indicated here are the ones I ride to and from work. Their route is usually from Tungko/SM Fairview to LRT Ayala/Baclaran and vice versa.

Matthew / CEM Trans Services – these orange/black buses have the rudest drivers and conductors. Plus they overcharge their passengers. Stay away from them like the plague!

NAIA Metrolink – these yellow or orange buses who you sometimes mistake for Taguig Metro Link are a pain. Ride them if you’re not in a rush or have ample travel time. Their light green color counterparts are deceitful. They looked clean from the outside but when once you go in, it’s really dirty and the air conditioning is at minimum.

Mannrose Liner – these purple buses often put in they’re in the ‘Cubao Fastlane’ and ‘Crossing Overpass’ route which give you the impression you’ll save time. But when they’re loading passengers they take their sweet time so in short you really don’t save time at all.

Kellen Bus – these red buses are the cleanest so far among the buses traversing the epic EDSA. However, they’re unreliable if you want to reach your destination on time.

Jayross Lucky 7 – these pale yellow and blue buses are unpredictable. But so far I’ve decoded their pattern. The ones who take the ‘Crossing Ilalim’ are really fast beating the Taguig Metro Link at times and ones taking the ‘Crossing Ibabaw’ will surely make your creative juices running on how to make decent excuses for being late.

Voyager – These orange/white buses with the giant Claire dela Fuente posters at their backs, they're highly unpredictable. Some of their drivers and conductors are rude. Kellen and these buses are my far second choices when the elusive Taguig Metro Link buses are out of sight.
Cleanliness: 3/5
Speed: 3/5
Taguig Metrolink – these elusive yellow buses are one of the best buses in EDSA. They’re fast and efficient the reason some people really do wait to catch one of them. But some of their buses smell really bad.
Cleanliness: 3/5
Speed: 4/5
Fermina Express – probably the best bus I’ve taken in EDSA. These green buses have spacious seats and often clean. The ride is as fast as the Taguig Metro Link. I appreciate the electronic ticketing system which makes sure of accurate fares and the tickets looked like actual receipts! But I rarely see them, which means that they either have too few buses or they’re just plain elusive.

nice info. Our metro buses here are mainly owned by the government - and there are no conductors, just drivers. You put in the token, ticket or exact change in the box - wala ng suklian. And the pamasahe is the same through out the coverage of the bus network however far :)
