pasig river cruise: ferry stations

i have been bugging B about trying this pasig river "cruise" for months. we even searched for the exact location of the HULO ferry station since this is the nearest station to us ... and has been mentioned on several blogs that i have read as a good starting point for this trip ... unfortunately, B was not available for this trip :(


straight from work, my colleague and i boarded a taxi and asked the driver to bring us to the ferry station.

note: be careful. i would say that there are two types of stations. one is associated with the pasig ferries and the other one is for those small wooden boats meant to carry passengers crossing from one side of the river to the other. don't worry here are some pictures of the stations so you have an idea how they would look like.


most of the stations have the same facade ... if i'm not mistaken except for quiapo (see picture below) and bambang station (floating station) ... i'm not sure about kalawaan and intramuros ... we were suppose to go to kalawaan but we ended at bambang so we could catch the next ferry.



there are comfort rooms inside the stations. picture taking is not allowed inside though.

some stations issue tickets that are bar coded while others issue a stub-like. however, both would display the amount and station where you're bounded to.

we took the following trips:

• hulo-bambang (24-jan-09),
  
• bambang-escolta (24-jan-09)
• escolta-bambang (25-jan-09).
