Integrated Bus Terminal For Batangas & Cavite Buses Opens
The first integrated bus terminal for provincial buses in Metro Manila which aims to ease traffic in the metropolis is scheduled to open on August 6, 2013. The initial integrated terminal is built for buses that ply the routes of Batangas-Manila and Cavite-Manila. After August 6, 2013, these buses will no longer be allowed to take their usual routes from their respective origins beyond the location of the integrated terminal designated for them.
The bus depot for the two provinces of CALABARZON is located at Coastal Mall which is situated at the corner of Aguinaldo Blvd and NAIA Rd Ext in Paranaque City. Aguinaldo Blvd which is also known as Coastal Rd is the extension of Roxas Blvd. Similar integrated bus terminals are set to open in Alabang and North EDSA. Alabang Integrated Bus Terminal will serve buses from other provinces south of Manila, e.g., Laguna, Quezon, etc. Meanwhile, North EDSA Integrated Bus Terminal will be the home of buses from provinces north of Metro Manila such as Bulacan, Pampanga, Bataan, etc.
Via EDSA - Just ride a bus with "MIA" or "NAIA" sign. You can take this bus from any point in EDSA. In some cases, you might need to take two bus rides if you don't find a NAIA bus in your area. Drop off at Coastal Mall. You use this route from any of the following locations: Novaliches, Fairview, Munoz, Cubao, Megamall, Guadalupe, etc.
Via LRT - From any station, get off the train at EDSA Station and ride a "NAIA" bound bus and alight at Coastal Mall.
Via MRT - From any station, alight at Taft Station and take "NAIA" bound bus and alight at Coastal Mall.
If you are having a problem in commuting to your destination after getting off the provincial bus in Coastal Mall, please read the newly created post entitled Commute Guide From South West Terminal To Different Locations. You can click that link or go here. Listed there are locations of terminals of jeepneys, city buses and UV Express headed outside of Coastal Mall and South West Integrated.
All passengers from Batangas and Cavite should alight at Coastal Mall. From there, they can take another bus or jeepney on the way to their destinations. They can take a bus bound for "Monumento", "Cubao", "Fairview", etc and drop off at their destination or at MRT Taft Staion/LRT EDSA Station. From these stations, ride a train and alight at station nearer to your destination. If you want to know where to ride a city bus after alighting a provincial bus at Coastal Mall, please go to South West Integrated Terminal & City Buses Coastal Mall Station.
For years, terminals of these buses in Metro Manila were found in different locations in Pasay and Manila areas. Gil Puyat aka Buendia in Taft Ave for one had been popular location of many terminals for these provincial buses. Lawton and Sta Cruz in Manila were also known as bastion for these passenger liners.
According to MMDA, volume of traffic along major roads of Metro Manila will be decreased once the three big bus integrated terminals are completed. The available spaces gained from the removal of provincial buses will be used by fewer buses and motorists. Thus, significantly reducing traffic.
Although this major change in commuting brings huge inconveniences for our fellow citizens who travel to their works from their respective provincial towns, colossal benefits for the majority in terms of fast and smooth commute and drive within our metropolis are achieved.
Furthermore, numbers of vehicular accidents that involved mostly buses will decreased significantly. In the process, we ease the traffic and save lives.

Rush Hour Commute Directions To BGC Buildings From MRT Ayala Station
This commuters guide for those going to a building inside BONIFACIO GLOBAL CITY must only be used if you are forced to board an Upper West Route or Lower West Route bus at BGC Bus Terminal in EDSA. It happens when there are so many passengers and West/East buses are inadequate. Upper/Lower West buses are not regulars. They are only extras. These additional routes are made available only on case by case basis. You need to read this, so that if the only available bus when you get there is either Upper West or Lower West, you know where to alight. For regular bus routes from EDSA to a bldg in BGC, go to Commute Guide To Buildings & Attractions Inside BGC From MRT Ayala Station.
Below are the three rush-hours routes of BGC Buses from its terminal in EDSA just meters away from MRT Ayala Station.
w Click each route, you will land to their respective route maps. Click the "back" button there to return here and continue reading the guide.
Click these routes to see maps:
You must know the name of the building you are headed to. You're just going to look up the building in the lists below. Once you found it, you remember the bus stop name, get the walking direction given and off you go. Commuting to a BGC building location, even for first timers has never been easier. Just read on.
Once you see the name of your building, you will easily get the Bus Stop it is near to. In that section of this guide is the ordinal position of that bus stop from EDSA Bus Terminal, i.e., first stop from EDSA, second bus stop, etc. It is important that you know the ordinal position or number of your bus stop so that you know when to get off the bus. You will also see the name of the bus stop on the waiting shed - written conspicuously.
Very Important: You must wait for the new page to load COMPLETELY before you can read the walk direction for your building. Except for HSBC Bus Stop, all Bus Stops here are the exact Bus Stops used in regular routes during off-peak hours. So the walking directions from Bus Stop to buildings during peak hours and during off-peak hours are of course the same. So we linked your Bus Stop here to the location on the regular route page where walking directions are given. Remember that the new page automatically scrolls down to the location of particular walk direction. The browser might become slower. So you must wait patiently.
As you read through this guide, you get to know which Bus Stop inside Bonifacio Global City is to use to get to your building destination. Lists of buildings for each bus stop are provided. Look for the name of your building on the first bus stop. If it's not found there go to the next bus stop and so on. It is followed by walking directions from Bus Stop (HSBC Bus Stop only.) In other bus stops, 'walk direction' links to the separate page are provided. The separate page is our main article for commuting to BGC buildings & attractions from MRT-3 Ayala Station in EDSA. If you want to check the whole article first, open it in a new window or tab by hitting this link: Commute Guide To Buildings & Attractions Inside BGC From MRT Ayala Station
Now begin your commute from BGC Bus Terminal located in EDSA-Ayala just across MRT-3 Ayala Station. Next subheading tells you how.
Buy ticket from Ticket Booth at BGC Bus Terminal which is located across MRT-3 Ayala Station stairs, northbound exit. The BGC Bus Terminal is inside McKinley Exchange bldg aka Telus which is at the corner of EDSA and McKinley. Once you have the ticket, stand in line under the sign of your bus route,i.e., Upper, Lower or East. Or follow directions given by officers managing the queue. Alight at the Bus Stop nearer to your building destination and walk toward it. It's important that you must already know the location of your building in relation to the nearest Bus Stop before you ride the bus. So here are my tips: Do these before riding a train to MRT Ayala Station. Look for the name of your building or spot to which you are headed on the lists that you will see below. If you don't find your destination on the first list, go to the next list, and so on. Once you see your building or spot, check what bus route it is under. Then remember the location of bus stop nearer to it. Write in a piece of paper or type on your tablet's or phone's notepad the walking direction from the bus stop to your destination. That's it.
The first Bus Stop inside BGC for this particular route is located at 5th Ave next to HSBC Centre and so it is called HSBC. This Bus Stop is not linked to separate page because it is not primarily used in off-peak hours. The 'walk directions from this bus stop are given in this paragraph. So, if your destination is HSBC Centre, alight here. W Fifth Avenue is just opposite HSBC in 5th Ave. It also occupies the other corner of 5th Ave and 32nd St. If your destination is 32nd & Fifth building, just walk back to 32nd Ave from the bus stop and you get to see it at the corner of 5th Ave and 32nd St. F1 Hotel, Globe Telecom Headquarters and Trade & Financial Tower are located along 32nd St, so just cross 5th Ave and walk along 32nd St. Next to W Fifth Ave is F1 Hotel, followed by Globe Telecom and then The Trade & Financial Tower in the opposite corner of 32nd St and 7th Ave.
The next set of buildings are nearer to the second Bus Stop inside BGC for this route which is located in 3rd Ave. The name of the bus stop is Net Cube. Check your building and then click 'walk directions' next to the list and after some instructions in paragraphs that followed the list. If your building is not listed, look for it on the third and last set of buildings for Upper West route.
To get the walk directions to these buildings, please click 'walk directions' link below. But read instructions here first. IMPORTANT: Wait until the next page is completely loaded. Ignore the title on that page and the first sentences especially the one that says "this is during off-peak hours only." Begin reading only in the part that starts off with:
Don't forget to see the map below the text there and click the pins on the map. To return to this page again, DO NOT click "back" button there. Instead, click the tab of this page on your browser. Now, if your building is listed above, click the link below:
Here is the last set of building destinations served by Upper West route of buses from EDSA-Ayala. If you found your building here, click the link below the list for walk direction from the bus stop.
If your destination is listed above, you must get off the bus at the 3rd Bus Stop which is located at 1st Ave and it is named Crescent Park West. The bus turns left onto 1st Ave from 31st St. From Crescent Park Bus Stop, walk your way to your building destination. Click 'walk directions' link' below after reading instructions from here down to that link - to get the walking direction for your destination. You MUST wait for the next page until it is loaded completely, otherwise you will get lost. DO NOT scroll the page while it is loading. Just wait.
Once the page is loaded, begin reading only after this sentence:
Ignore the first paragraph there and the title. You see that page is for off-peak hours but the bus stops are the same used in peak-hours. The big difference is the ordinal number of each bus stop in relation to its distance from EDSA Bus Terminal. That is why you need to ignore the title, because it says the ordinal number during off-peak hours. We are in peak-hours here and the ordinal numbers of bus stops here are different.
So just read the walking direction from the bus stop on that page to your building destination. There is map for more help. Click each red pin in the map to reveal the name of the building it represents. Now go click the link below.
Lower Route has four Bus Stops.
The first bus stop from EDSA named McKinley Parkway is located as soon as the bus turns left onto 5th Ave from McKinley Road. See route map again, just hit "back" button there to return here. Get off the bus on this first bus stop and walk your way to the following buildings:
To know how to get to any of the buildings listed above by walking from McKinley Bus Stop, we will use directions and the map published for off-peak hours. We will open the page but YOU MUST WAIT until it is loaded completely. Let the page automatically scroll down to the section of McKinley Bus Stop. Please remember that otherwise you will end up in wrong directions. Now click 'walk directions' link below if your building is listed above. Use the map there and open the pins on the map. In returning here, don't use the "back" button there. Just close the tab of that page or hit the tab of this page.
The second bus stop (inside BGC) is now called RCBC because it's situated by the tall building of RCBC. Below are the buildings nearer to this bus stop. We will use the walking directions and map for off-peak hours route. Again, it is warned that you must wait until the page is loaded completely or you will be taken to wrong direction. Click the 'walk directions' link next to the list and wait.
The third bus stop is Net One. It has the same ordinal number with the off-peak hours and so are in the first and second bus stops. Here are the buildings there. To get the walking directions from this bus stop to these buildings, click 'walk directions' link next to this list and wait until the page has loaded completely and on the right section of the page. Don't forget to use the map and click pins on the map.
The fourth Bus Stop of Lower West route (from EDSA) is the sixth in regular or off-peak hours route. It is named Fort Victoria. That is why when you get on that page, it says "Sixth Bus Stop." Just remember during peak hours, Fort Victoria is fourth bus stop inside BGC from EDSA BGC Bus Terminal. And it is not practical to get off the bus there as it takes longer time on the whole loop. The fastest way is to use the first bus stop which is McKinley Parkway. Nevertheless, below are the buildings very near to Fort Victoria. Click the 'walking directions' link next to it but when you get there, just look at the map and click all red pins on the map so that you get the idea on how to get to the particular building. Again, wait until the new page is loaded completely.
Upper Route Bus and East Route Bus share the first Bus Stop from EDSA-Ayala which is HSBC Bus Stop in 5th Ave. So you can also take East Route Bus (rush hours only) in going to the first set of buildings mentioned in Upper Route.
Second Bus Stop from EDSA Terminal in this route is Nutriasia. It is located along 30th St before the corner of 9th Ave. From 5th Ave, the bus turns left onto 30th St. BHS means Bonifacio High Street and this Bus Station is used in going to the center of High Street instead of the front which is in 5th Ave. 9th Ave passes through the middle of linear High Street park.
At this point, commute directions to buildings served by "East Route" bus during peak hours are the same with "East Route" bus during peak hours. So, for that, it's better to use the main guide. Look for your building there in alphabetically listed buildings in the table, click it, and you will land to the walking direction you need. Go check the map and click each pin and placemark on the map. Here is the link to our main commuting guide to buildings inside BGC from MRT Ayala Station:
Upper West - served by HM Bus/Worthy Bus
Lower West - served by BGC Bus
East Route - served by HM Bus/Worthy Bus
Hope this guide helps you in commuting to your building destination or any spot within Bonifacio Global City. Especially that this particular post is created for commuters going to BGC during rush hours.

The fourth Bus Stop of Lower West route (from EDSA) is the sixth in regular or off-peak hours route. It is named Fort Victoria. That is why when you get on that page, it says "Sixth Bus Stop." Just remember during peak hours, Fort Victoria is fourth bus stop inside BGC from EDSA BGC Bus Terminal. And it is not practical to get off the bus there as it takes longer time on the whole loop. The fastest way is to use the first bus stop which is McKinley Parkway. Nevertheless, below are the buildings very near to Fort Victoria. Click the 'walking directions' link next to it but when you get there, just look at the map and click all red pins on the map so that you get the idea on how to get to the particular building. Again, wait until the new page is loaded completely.

Upper Route Bus and East Route Bus share the first Bus Stop from EDSA-Ayala which is HSBC Bus Stop in 5th Ave. So you can also take East Route Bus (rush hours only) in going to the first set of buildings mentioned in Upper Route.
Second Bus Stop from EDSA Terminal in this route is Nutriasia. It is located along 30th St before the corner of 9th Ave. From 5th Ave, the bus turns left onto 30th St. BHS means Bonifacio High Street and this Bus Station is used in going to the center of High Street instead of the front which is in 5th Ave. 9th Ave passes through the middle of linear High Street park.

'Pinch-out' gesture shows you street names and if you know the street of your bldg you know which bus stop to use. Play around with the map: 'pinch-out', 'pinch-in', drag. Familiarize yourself with vicinity and by zooming in (pinch-out) alone you get to see major buildings such as Globe Tower, Shangri-La Hotel The Fort, etc.
