End of Update

    As the operation of South West Integrated Provincial Bus Terminal in Coastal Mall Paranaque is being improved as days pass, we have seen lapses and unintentional deficiencies over there. Lots of commuters have no idea on where to ride the next transport vehicle that will take them to their respective destinations.






    This detailed guide on how to commute from South West Terminal to different destinations in the metro is created to lessen the stress of passengers especially those who don't want to waste time in looking for terminals and loading areas. Hope this guide helps you and reduces anxiety and stress that you might experience while commuting to schools, works, etc from South West Integrated. If your destination is not listed here, just ask me through the comment form below this post. Aside from the list of destinations that I've given commuting direction, you will also know the locations of terminals of jeepneys, UV Express and city buses bound for different parts of Metro Manila. In addition to terminals, you can also use three loading areas for the city buses and jeepneys.

    South West Integrated Bus Terminal Commuters' Guide

    Before I give you the directions to the destinations listed above, I would like you to be fully aware of jeepneys and buses located meters away from SWIPTS.




    If you have knowledge of the routes of available jeepneys and buses located in the area, your next ride to your destination would be in a breeze.

    City Buses Terminal


    Location of city bus terminal in South West Integrated
    Also known as Bus Management Dispatch System, the huge open bus terminal is located in front of Uniwide Coastal Mall itself. Fronting Coastal Road, this city buses station is now served by provincial buses bound to South West Terminal. That means buses from Cavite and Batangas drop all passengers at city buses terminal. So if your destination is located along the route of these city buses, just alight from your provincial bus and then board an available city bus headed to your destination. The problem with this city bus terminal is that buses from here have to pass through the all four roads that encircling the mammoth Uniwide Coastal Mall instead of exiting onto NAIA Rd extension which is impossible because of non-existence of an access road leading to NAIA Rd Ext. So it takes a long time before a bus from here gets to Roxas Blvd. If you're in a hurry, riding a bus from here is not advisable. Don't worry as there are faster routes courtesy of other buses or jeepney that I will be mentioning in this sub-topic.

    Routes of buses from City Bus Terminal - Monumento via EDSA, Fairview via EDSA, Novaliches via EDSA, Baclaran, Taft, Ayala, Buendia, Guadalupe, Shaw Blvd, Ortigas, Commonwealth, Cubao, Balintawak, Navotas, Malabon, Malanday, Malinta, Lawton, Fairview via Espana

    Note: The terminal of buses bound for Lawton and Fairview via Espana is located between jeepney/UV Express Terminal and the City Bus Terminal.


    UV Express Aircon AUV Terminal


    UV Express Terminal in South West Integrated Coastal Mall
    The terminal is located in front of the main entrance of Uniwide Coastal Mall which is at the corner of Coastal Rd (Aguinaldo Blvd) and NAIA Rd Extension few meters away from the foot of pedestrian footbridge that crosses Roxas Blvd/Coastal Rd. The problem here is their lack of available transport units. The arrival of empty vans and coaches is one by one. There are times that there is none and you have to wait. Again, there are available options for you on other spots outside Coastal Mall ground.

    Routes of UV Express - Lawton, Park & Ride Terminal, Manila City Hall

    Mall of Asia bound Shuttle Jeepney Terminal


    Where to ride jeepney to different locations form South West Integrated Terminal
    Located at the same location of UV Express at the foot of pedestrian footbridge. No problem in the availability of their transport vehicles.

    Routes of MOA Shuttles - SM Mall of Asia, SM Arena, Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), Macapagal Blvd, Baclaran




    Jeepney Terminal


    Located in the same location of UV Express bound for Lawton and the shuttle jeeps bound for MOA. Once you see the only pedestrian footbridge outside Coastal Mall, go there and you will see lots of jeepneys.

    Routes of jeepneys here - You can take a one ride from here to the following: Quiapo, Divisoria, FTI, Alabang, Baclaran, MRT/LRT nearest stations. etc.

    Loading Area in Northbound Lane Roxas Blvd


    Although located far from South West Terminal and City Bus Terminal, it is faster to get to your destination if you choose to take the bus ride here. Buses that pick passengers here come from different locations, e.g., NAIA-1, Paranaque, Macapagal Blvd and Coastal Mall. You can go to this loading area by using the pedestrian footbridge. Once you are already in the footbridge, cross the Coastal Rd then turn left onto connected another footbridge that crosses NAIA Rd. Go down and then wait for a bus at the designated loading area.

    Routes of buses that stop at Roxas Blvd loading Area - Lawton, Ayala Ave, Monumento via EDSA, Fairview via EDSA, Novaliches via EDSA

    Loading Area in NAIA Rd Ext cor Coastal Rd


    Bus Stop for buses going to NAIA 1&2 from South West Integrated Coastal Mall
    Located just outside Coastal Mall and South West Integrated Bus Terminal. You just exit Coastal Mall ground and go to the sidewalk of NAIA Rd Ext. Wait until the traffic lights turn red so that all buses stop. Ride a bus of your choice.

    Routes of buses that stop outside Coastal Mall - NAIA Rd, NAIA Terminal 2, NAIA Terminal 1



    Jeepney Loading Area NAIA Rd cor Coastal Rd


    Use the footbridge from Coastal Mall and cross Coastal Rd. Go down at the other side. Wait for a jeepney at the loading area near KFC and 7-11 Convenience Store.

    Route of jeepney at NAIA Rd - Sucat, PAGCOR Casino, Duty Free Philippines Fiesta Mall, SM Sucat

      You can ride at the city bus terminal mentioned in the article. The bus will drop passengers at Trinoma but make sure you say it to the conductor.

Unfortunately there is no jeepney route passing quirino to roxas so i had to walk ~10mins.is there an alternative route as to lessen walking distance? Tnx.

    6. @ michael arvesu. Please ask a driver of UV Express in Coastal Mall if he passes through Roxas Blvd as what I presume always. If he does, check if you can alight at Ospital ng Maynila. If negative, here's what I suggest: Take a city bus and alight at Harrison cor EDSA. Take a jeepney with "Mabini" secondary sign. Alight at Mabini cor Quirino where Ospital ng Maynila is just a stone's throw away. Please share to us your next experience so that we can help other commuters. Thanks a lot.

    14. Paunawa po sa mga nagpapatulong sa direksyon. Kung pwede po sana ay pki bigay ang street name ng lugar na inyong pupuntahan para po mabigyan ko kyo ng tamang direksyon. Kung Philpost Pasay po halimbawa ang tinatanong ninyo, pkisabi na din po ang street kasi po may mga lumang Philpost address sa Pasay. Kung mali po ang maibibigay ko na direction sa inyo ay lalo po kayong maaabala. Kaya pkibigay na din po ang address ng inyong pupuntahan para po kyo ay aking matulungan. Marami pong salamat sa inyong lahat.
