Guiguinto to Bulakan route guide
The Guiguinto-Bulakan route in Diesel n' Steel: the flat PHP 13 fare, the BSU and Tuktukan stops, terminal queueing, and why it is the best first run.
Guiguinto to Bulakan is the shortest route in Diesel n' Steel at roughly four in-game kilometres, and it is the only route where every destination costs exactly the same fare. Every stop is PHP 13 regular or PHP 11 for a student or senior. There is nothing to calculate beyond which of those two numbers applies.
That simplicity is why it is the right first route and the right route to farm EXP on when you need to cross the 500 EXP code gate.
Stops and fares
| Stop | Regular | Discounted |
|---|---|---|
| Matungao | PHP 13 | PHP 11 |
| MacArthur Highway | PHP 13 | PHP 11 |
| BSU (Bulacan State University) | PHP 13 | PHP 11 |
| Tuktukan | PHP 13 | PHP 11 |
Driving it
The route leaves Bulakan, passes the Matungao stretch where the LTO checkpoint sits between 7am and 6pm, runs along MacArthur Highway and past Bulacan State University, then finishes at Tuktukan. Coming back, the same stops in reverse.
Guiguinto itself is the junction town. Roads from Malolos, Balagtas and Bulakan converge there, which is why it crowds up faster than anywhere else on the map. The terminal is described by drivers as one of the most crowded, with several jeepneys competing for the same passengers.
Why it is the EXP and practice route
| What you practise | Why this route suits it |
|---|---|
| The clutch and the gearbox | Short distance between stops, plenty of pull-aways |
| Giving change | Two numbers total, so mistakes stand out immediately |
| Terminal queueing | The busiest terminal in the game |
| Fuel economy | Four kilometres means the tank lasts many trips |
A clean Guiguinto run is the fastest legitimate route to 500 EXP: take the flat fare, hand back exact change, drop every passenger at the designated point, and do not clip anything on the way.
What a full load pays
| Jeepney | Full-load total |
|---|---|
| Sarao Custombuilt V1 | PHP 228 to 247 |
| Sarao Custombuilt Model 2.0 | PHP 252 to 273 |
| DF Devera | PHP 420 to 455 |
| XLT-AUV | PHP 319 to 377 |
| Milwaukee | PHP 264 to 312 |
Per trip this is the lowest of the three routes, because it is the shortest. Per hour it is competitive, because the turnaround is fast and the loading is constant. For a driver with a big jeepney and a full tank, the Malolos route still wins on value per trip.
What to do next
Once the flat fare and the shift pattern are automatic, move to Balagtas to Bulakan for a route with one fare exception, and then to the long ladder on Malolos to Bulakan. Before any of that, if you have not started the paperwork, the order is on the LTO hub.
FAQ
Is the fare the same for every stop?
Yes. PHP 13 regular and PHP 11 discounted for all four destinations.
How long is the Guiguinto route?
About four in-game kilometres, the shortest of the three.
Why is the Guiguinto terminal so crowded?
It sits at the junction where the Malolos, Balagtas and Bulakan roads meet, so traffic from all directions passes through it.
Can I earn good money on the short route?
Per trip it pays least. Run enough trips back to back and the hourly figure holds up.
