Holiday travelers coming in and out of the country from CRK are set to enjoy the luxury of space, safe systems and A-1 amenities.
Located 80 km. northwest of Manila, CRK takes only an hour and a half drive from Manila. For commuting passengers, it has point to point (P2P) services to and from Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Trinoma, Dau, and Baguio City operated by Genesis Transport Services. Victory Liner also operates P2P services to and from Dagupan and Olongapo.
