The Department of Transportation posted photos of the new Port of Lucena passenger terminal building (PTB) on its Facebook page. The new building is set to open soon, aiming to provide better comfort for passengers traveling to and from Quezon.
According to DOTr secretary Giovanni Lopez, the modernized Port of Lucena PTB will accommodate more passengers—including both local and foreign tourists—with a seating capacity of 1,000. This aims to help boost tourism in Quezon and nearby provinces.
Part of the project includes automated ticketing counters, which should make purchasing tickets more efficient. The building has also been equipped with solar panels for more sustainable energy use.

“Oras na matapos itong PTB, hindi na magsisiksikan ang ating mga pasahero na bibiyahe sa kanilang probinsya,” said Philippine Ports Authority general manager Jay Santiago. “Mas komportable na sila at hindi na sila mahihirapan dahil mas madali na ang pag-book ng kanilang ticket.”
“Ang direktiba ng Pangulo ay dapat gawing moderno at passenger-friendly ang ating mga pantalan,” added Lopez. “Isang ehemplo ng utos ng Pangulo ay itong Port of Lucena at ganito rin ang gagawin natin sa ibang pantalan sa buong bansa.”
As it stands, the Port of Lucena serves as a gateway between Quezon and the island provinces of Marinduque, Romblon, and Masbate. Will you be using this port for travel when the new terminal building is complete?
