    The 16,000-seat SM Mall of Asia Arena is located to the southern part of the entire MOA Complex alongside SMX Convention Center. There are two public transport terminals located at MOA, North Terminal which is in front of North Parking Bldg with Hypermart at Ground Level and South Terminal which is in front of South Parking Terminal with SM Department Store at Ground Level. In going to the exact location of SM Arena, you must know that the jeepney you're riding from train station is headed to the right direction - South Terminal which is adjacent to SM MOA Arena.

    Obviously, the fastest way to commute to SM MOA Arena from any point of the metropolis is via train of our LRT and MRT Lines.





    Warning: Riding train in Metro Manila is not safe for high-end gadget owners. That's the fact. I have experienced it and so did countless of others. A group of criminals who steal phones by playing noisy, happy, and talking to destruct attention of passengers away from their phones are always on the look out for easy prey. So, please make sure that your iphone, samsungs galaxy and other smartphones are secured in your pocket with your hand holding it. Believe me, it's not enough to put your phone on your pocket. Hold it with your hand inside your pocket. Here's a classic example of their modus operandi: click here.

    Back to our topic.

    By MRT-3, alight at Taft Station, then ride a jeepney from Malibay bound for MOA. You should see "SM MOA" wordings on its front. Look at one side of the jeepney and check if there's a "Malibay" wording on it. The loading area is along EDSA's southbound lane before MRT-3 EDSA Station.

    By LRT-1, alight at EDSA Station and walk towards loading area along EDSA,s southbound lane. Confirm to driver if he's going to south terminal. Because there are some drivers that don't take passengers to the terminal. They just head back to Malibay after passing through Globe Rotunda at the middle of MOA frontage. If that happens, you need to walk a little bit far and you might be late.

    2. @ piecingpuzzles. You can take the NAIA Shuttle, just ride the one bound for MRT/Taft Ave. Once the bus reached its terminal in Taft, cross EDSA via MRT station and ride a jeepney with "Malibay MOA" wordings on its sides and "MOA" sign on its front. The terminal of these jeepneys in MOA is very near to SM Arena.

    4. @ Janima Ali. The best way is to get taxi outside departure area. Rate is not fixed. Just make sure that the meter is being used while the driver is taking you to your destination.
