How To Commute To SM Aura Premier Aka SM City Taguig
SM Aura Mass schedule is as follows: Saturdays - 12NN & 6pm, Sundays - 10AM, 12NN, 3PM, 5PM & 7PM, Weekdays - 12:15NN & 6PM. SM Aura Premier is located opposite the large parking area of Market Market in 26th St, Bonifacio Global City (BGC). Market Market is on the north of 26th St while SM Aura is on the south. See map below this post. Bonifacio Civic Center is the 34-storey building attached to SM Aura. The nearest Bus Stop if you're going to SM Aura from EDSA-Ayala via BGC Bus is the BGC Bus Market Market Terminal. It is located adjacent to Market Market bldg. After getting off the bus, walk away from Market Market bldg toward the large parking area. The mall across 26th St, the road next to parking area, is SM Aura Premier. Head to pedestrian lane to cross 26th St.
BGC Bus is the convenient means of transportation to SM Aura from MRT-3 Ayala Station. You can get to SM Aura from as far as Santolan Pasig or Monumento Caloocan by two train rides and a BGC Bus, i.e., LRT-1 plus MRT-3 plus BGC Bus or LRT-2 plus MRT-3 plus BGC Bus. Just get off the train at MRT-3 Ayala Station, ride a BGC Bus "East Route", and alight at Market Market Bus Station. For more details on how to ride a BGC Bus from MRT Ayala Station, read this separate guide: Commute Guide To Buildings & Attractions Inside BGC From MRT Ayala Station.
You can go directly to SM Aura from these locations: Antipolo, Ayala, Crossing, FTI, Guadalupe, Pasig, Pateros, Rosario, SM Bicutan, SM Marikina, SM Masinag, SM Megamall, SM Moa, Taguig Bicutan and Taguig Tipas.
The reason for this is because UV Express Terminal in SM Aura aka SM City Taguig is located at the basement parking few meters from mall entrance. Unlike BGC Bus Terminal, riding a UV Express is more convenient in the sense that you don't need to walk far from the terminal. So, if you preferred this mode of transportation, head to the respective terminals of UV Express in your area, e.g., SM Megamall Terminal - back of Bldg B and SM MOA - North or South Terminal.
From EDSA-McKinley in MRT Ayala Station vicinity
There's also a jeepney terminal from EDSA-Ayala. The jeepney terminal is located at the back of Shell Gasoline Station. The difference between riding a jeepney and riding a BGC Bus is that the jeepney goes directly to Market Market. So, it's faster compare to a BGC Bus which passes through various streets to drop off and pick up passengers on its designated Bus Stops. In going to SM Aura, ask the driver as to where you can alight nearer to the mall.
From Guadalupe
Take a jeepney with "Guadalupe Gate 3 Ft Bonifacio" signs on both sides of its body and "Market Market Gate 3" or "SM Aura" signboard on its front. The loading terminal is located along Burgos St between Jollibee and McDonald's. Burgos St is perpendicular to EDSA and both McDonald's and Jollibee are located at the opposite corners of EDSA and Burgos St. From MRT Guadalupe Station, it's best to enter the connected mall, use the escalators and head toward Burgos exit. Ask driver to drop you off at SM Aura or unloading area nearest to SM Aura.
From Pedro Gil Taft
Ride a jeepney bound for "Guadalupe Tulay" and with "Ilalim" secondary sign. Get off the jeep at Guadalupe Commercial Center, the mall connected to MRT Guadalupe Station. Go to loading terminal of jeepneys that ply "Guadlupe Gate 3 Ft Bonifacio" route. Follow direction given above (From Guadalupe).
From Lawton Ave-SLEX-PNR Nichols
Go to the big building of Gate 3 Plaza mall where a Jeepney Terminal is located in its front along Lawton Ave. This is also good if you're coming from any point of Chino Roces aka Pasong Tamo Ext from EDSA to Lawton Ave, just ride a jeepney with "Gate 3" sign on its front. Ride the same jeepney from Guadalupe, this time with "Guadalupe Market Market" or "SM Aura" signboard on its front. The jeepney also has marking on its sides that read "Guadalupe Fort Bonifacio Gate 3. Ask driver to drop you off at SM Aura.
From Rockwell
Just ride a jeepney with "Guadalupe Tulay Ilalim" sign and follow direction given in "From Pedro Gil Taft" mentioned above.
From north & south of MM, e.g., Alabang, Baclaran, NAIA-1, Monumento, Malanday, Novaliches, Fairview, etc
Ride any bus with secondary sign that reads "Ayala Ibabaw" and alight at unloading zone near MRT Ayala Station. Go to the terminal of jeepneys bound for Market Market or the BGC Bus. Alight at Market Market and use the pedestrian lane to get to SM Aura Premier.

How To Commute To The Portal & Pavilion Square And The Hub in Greenfield District
Where are The Portal, The Hub and Pavilion Square located?
The Portal is a new dining destination in Greenfield District next to its central park that covered with manicured lawn. Greenfield District is located at the corner of EDSA and Shaw Blvd in Mandaluyong, opposite Shangri-La Plaza. Pavilion Square is a mall that serves as gateway to Greenfield District if you're going there by MRT-3 train which you can take from LRT-1 EDSA Station or LRT-2 Araneta Center Cubao Station. The Bub is a restaurant row along Mayflower St aka EDSA Central Ave, the second street paralleled to EDSA. Magflower St is also perpendicular to Shaw Blvd and crosses United Ave. Please refer to the map below this post.
Pavilion Square is connected to MRT Shaw Station. An elevated walkway connects Pavilion Mall to Greenfield Interactive Showroom, Soho Central and Twin Oaks Place. And if your destination is The Hub going there by train, take this pedestrian walkway up to Mayflower St where you take the stair and then cross the road. How to go to Pavilion Square from a MRT Train
Southbound Train (from North Station) - after getting off the train, walk toward the head end of the train (front) and use the escalator nearer to that part of the train. Upon exit from turnstile, go left and turn right from the glass door. Go downstairs and walk further ahead until you get to the third level entrance of Pavilion Square. There is also a second level entrance linked to MRT Station. Just use one more stair from the third level.
Northbound Train (from Taft Station) - after you alight, walk toward the tail end of the train. Use the escalators near to the back of MRT train instead of the ones near the head end. From the turnstile, go left then right and use the stairs to come down either to third level or second level which both lead to Pavilion Square.

How To Get To The Hub
It's faster to go to The Hub if you enter on the second level. So, from MRT Station concourse level, come down to the second level before heading to Pavilion Square. MRT concourse is fourth level.

Note: If you're riding a northbound train, you get to see Pavilion Square before Shaw Blvd. Alight before Shaw Blvd. Use United St, the road before Shaw and bordered Pavilion Hotel, to get to The Portal. Walk further along United past The Portal to get to The Hub.
