Malolos to Bulakan route guide
Malolos-Bulakan via Atlag in Diesel n' Steel: the seven-stop fare ladder, the landmarks you navigate by, fuel planning and what a full load returns.
Malolos to Bulakan via Atlag is the longest route in the game, roughly ten in-game kilometres each way, and the one with the most complicated fare arithmetic. Seven destinations, prices stepping from PHP 14 up to PHP 25, and a different set of prices on the way back.
It is also the highest paying route in Diesel n' Steel. A full DF Devera returns PHP 735 to 875 on a single trip, which is more than double what the same jeepney makes on the Guiguinto run.

Navigating the route
The landmarks do most of the navigation for you. Malolos is the city end of the line: the cathedral, the Iglesia ni Cristo chapel, the public market and the busy plaza around them. A gas station sits near the cathedral, which is the practical reason to learn that part of the map early.
The Malolos terminal sits on a narrow street, so loading takes longer and requires more patience than anywhere else. The route ends at the drop-off point in the plaza area, which is also where players gather to photograph their jeepneys.
Two stops that count as one
Bagumbayan and San Jose are one barangay for fare purposes. San Juan and Sto. Rosario are also treated as a single step. If you are computing a fare by counting barangays rather than reading the ladder, those pairs will trip you up.
Fuel and trip planning
This is the route where fuel actually matters. Ten in-game kilometres each way, plus the queueing at both ends, means a tank that comfortably handles several Guiguinto runs may only cover a couple of Malolos round trips.
Refuel at a gas station rather than relying on a diesel can. The can costs PHP 1,500 and is a rescue tool for the roadside, not a replacement for a proper stop. Fuel prices change every Tuesday, so budget for a moving number.
What a full load pays
| Jeepney | Full-load total |
|---|---|
| Sarao Custombuilt V1 | PHP 306 to 475 |
| Sarao Custombuilt Model 2.0 | PHP 436 to 525 |
| DF Devera | PHP 735 to 875 |
| XLT-AUV | PHP 667 to 725 |
| Milwaukee | PHP 552 to 600 |
The gap between the free Sarao and the DF Devera is larger here than on any other route. If you are grinding towards a PHP 50,000 purchase, this is the route that makes the money back fastest once you have it.
