  • 15 Feb 2012
  • Lag alag


    • BGC or Bonifacio Global City is situated approximately two kilometers to the east of MRT Ayala Station in EDSA, Makati.

    You can get to any building or destination within the privately owned highly urbanized district from MRT Ayala by means of a bus ride from The Fort Bus Terminal located approximately 40 meters from the train station. Alight at designated Bus Stop nearest to your building or place of destination and walk a little bit. Note: If your destination is inside High Street click here

    There are two routes the buses take in going to Bonifacio Global City (also known as Fort Bonifacio or simply Global City) from The Fort Bus Terminal in EDSA:

    WEST ROUTE EAST ROUTE
    The bus that plies this route is:
    • The Fort Bus - takes McKinley Drive from its terminal in EDSA
    Route Direction
    The bus loops through the west part of BGC and unloads/loads passengers at Bus Stops located along the route and goes back to its EDSA terminal.    		 Two buses ply this route:
    • The Fort Bus - takes McKinley Drive
    • HM Bus - takes EDSA and Kalayaan Ave
    Route Directions
    Both buses take passengers to buildings and places located within the east part of BGC and then the bus parks at its other terminal in Market Market parking ground. All passengers who haven't alighted in Bus Stops at which the bus had stopped earlier must alight at Market Market.
    Buy ticket
    Get inside the terminal. Proceed to ticket seller window with signage that reads West Route EDSA Stopover. See map below on how to get to The Fort Bus Terminal in EDSA from MRT Ayala Station.    		 Buy ticket
    Get inside the terminal. Proceed to ticket seller window with signage that reads East Route Market Market. See map below on how to get to The fort Bus Terminal in EDSA from MRT Ayala Station.

    Important: HM Bus also refers to those buses with "Worthy Transport" sign on them. They don't take McKinley. As such, they don't pass by McKinley Pkway Bus Stop. If the bus you ride bound for East BGC is The Fort Bus or BGC Bus, it stops at McKinley Pkway. In that case, "The Fort Bus Stop" which is the first Bus Stop of HM Bus becomes the second Bus Stop and so on. You need to remember that, because bus dispatch via East Route is subject to availability of types of buses though HM Bus runs East Route primarily. West Route is solely handled by The Fort Bus and the fleet of these buses bear Bonifacio Global City signs on their outer body.

    How To Get To The Buildings & Places Around BGC Bus Stops


    Direction of BGC Bus (West Route) from The Fort Bus Terminal in EDSA to West BGC
    There are times when BGC Bus turns left to 5th Ave instead of crossing it. That's why there's another arrow in the map, the lighter green. This happens especially when traffic lights turn red before the bus crosses 5th Ave and passengers bound for McKinley Bus Stop have already alighted. Just remember to get off the bus once it stopped immediately before 5th Ave.


    How To Get To Buildings & Spots From A Bus Stop In West BGC

    wOW THIS SHOULD BE MADE INTO A MINI HANDBOOK DIRECTIONS TO bgc


    Wow. I'm dumbfounded. This should be made to a Directions Guide to BGC Map booklet and provided to any local or foreign tourist. Calling the attention of INTELLECTUALLY savvy Taguig City Town managers---This is the perfect guide to YOUR TAX RICH CITY PROPERTY. I can't say enough but again kudos to the blogger for the detailed and meticulously crafted directional guide to BONIFACIO GLOBAL CITY.

    This was indeed a breather for those planning to work or simply visit the place..Mind you I had to learn my directions the hard way last year plying to this unknown route. Since majority of the marathons have been organized @BGC being familiar with the directions is a must.. This would really be a handy dandy.


    Lagalag said...
    21 February 2012 11:58

    You bet it's gonna be a big help for health conscious individuals who would come here for upcoming marathons the first time. Being on time is essential I think so that stress is eliminated and being familiar with how to get to the starting line would definitely add up to sense of preparedness. Thanks for your appreciation. :)

    Hi, from Manila Japanese School, is there a bus or a jeep that would take you directly to Net Quad inside BGC? or do you need to go to Market Market to ride the bus or get a taxi? TIA


    Lagalag said...

    @ VanityOrNot Pre-order Shop. First, ride a jeepney bound for "Gate 3". Alight at Market Market The Fort Bus Terminal. Ride "The Fort Bus" and ask the driver to drop you off at "Net Cube" bus stop. Net Quad is the building at the back of Net Cube.

    Help,

    How to commute coming from Buendia going to the Fort? Is there a jeep on Buendia that goes to the Fort?


    Lag alag said...
    23 October 2012 14:06

    @ Moët♥. You did not specify the exact spot in Buendia, it's very long. So I will now assume you are near Taft of Buendia. From there take bus bound for Cubao with "Ayala" on its sign. You must alight at unloading area in Glorietta, then walk towards EDSA and cross to the other side. You can now go to The Fort Bus Terminal in EDSA and take the appropriate bus to get to The Fort. Please read my article above as I mentioned clearly the right Bus Stop to get off the bus which is adjacent to The Fort. Hope my directions helps you. Cheers.

    23 October 2012 17:01

    Thanks. I heard there's an Ayala-Fort jeep at the Osmena Hiway x Buendia intersection that passes over Kalayaan and passes by Market Market, is there such a thing?

    Also I was told there's an Ayala-Washington jeep that they say passes through Buendia then Ayala and will take you across EDSA to the Fort Bus terminal, is there such a thing, too?


    Lag alag said...
    23 October 2012 18:31

    @ Moët♥. Yes there are jeepneys from Buendia corner Washington that go across EDSA and some of them pass by The Fort Bus Terminal. Take note that these jeeps have "Ayala-Washington" wordings on their both sides. You can take one of these jeepneys as well if you are in that vicinity.

    With regards to your first question, I will go check it.

    @ Lei Madarang. Hello, the nearest Bus Stop to your destination is either "High Street 30th St" or "32nd St MC Depot". From there walk towards the corner of 7th Ave and 30th St. Just follow the road signs and you will not get lost. Hope my direction helps you.

    Lag alag said...
    20 November 2012 18:20

    @ Angelo Casiding. If you want to get there quickly, the first bus stop is better. Just walk a little bit along 5th Ave towards 23rd St which is the exact location of your destination. Hope this direction helps you.

    Hi, is there any jeepneys from mckinley pkway to stopover 31st street? my route is from Two world square mckinly hill to Jp morgan.. hope you could help me..


    Lag alag said...
    24 November 2012 12:19

    @ lenny. You need two rides. There are jeepneys there bound for "Market Market", ride one of them. In Market Market, go to the terminal of The Fort Bus, and take any of the two buses, they both stop at "Stopover 31st St", from there Morgan is a short walk away. Hope this direction helps you :)

    Hi, this is really helpful but i'd just like to ask how i'd be able to go back to MRT ayala station from the korean cultural center? :)

    9 January 2013 11:57

    @ Ana Roces. Hello, Ana. Just walk back to the corner of Rizal Drive and cross towards the opposite corner where Jollibee is situated. Walk along Rizal Dr until you get to the corner of 31st St, there's a Chowking there. Turn right and you will see the nearest Fort Bus Stop which is "31st St Stop Over". Fall in line under the sign that reads "Ayala MRT" because the other queue is for Bus bound for "Market Market". That's the nearest bus stop you can take to get back to MRT Ayala Station. Hope my direction helps you.
