South-West Bus Terminal Inaugurates Today

Update: 11 May 2017 Important: Southwest Integrated Provincial Bus Terminal has transferred to HK Sun Plaza in Pasay. Please read the new published article How to Get to Southwest Integrated Provincial Bus Terminal to get commuting direction from your location to the new terminal of buses bound for Cavite, Batangas and Mindoro. End of Update

South West Integrated Terminal for passenger liners bound to Cavite and Batangas (vice versa) inaugurates today, August 6, 2013. The inauguration which starts at 4:30 am finally sealed the commitment of MMDA (Metro Manila Development Authority) to ease the traffic along main thoroughfares of our metropolis.

The bus station with the official name of South-West Integrated Provincial Transport System is constructed with interest of the riding public in the mind of those who are responsible for its design and amenities. Firstly, it is built inside a mall where passengers can shop and dine before going home. A popular brand of grocery store for the masses is located inside of Coastal Mall where this terminal is located. Second, loading areas for city buses of different routes are very near. In fact, out-bound city buses from MMDA's "Bus Management Dispatch System" station passes through the frontage of South West Terminal. I think it is safe to assume that they will build bus bays for city buses right in that area. For now, if you ask me regarding the right spot of loading for city buses, you can ride along Diosdado Macapagal Blvd, the road that bounded the provincial terminal to the west.
