Comet E-Jeepney Routes and Faring System

Just today I have learned that Commet E-Jeepney is operational already in Quezon City. So I created this post so that commuters will be guided in riding Comet jeepneys.

What are the routes served by Comet E-Jeepney?

As the e-jeepney is relatively new, the only available route now is in Quezon City which is from SM City North EDSA to Katipunan LRT-2 Station and vice versa. As they open new routes in the future, I will update this post so that other commuters from different areas of Metro Manila will also experience riding this amazing public transport which was introduced to the public by no other than US President Barack Obama in July.

How to ride a comet e-jeepney?

Here's the faring system of the comet jeepney. Say goodbye to loose coins and the hassles of not receiving a full change from traditional jeepney drivers. To ride a comet jeepney, you must first buy a reloadable GET pass card. Tap the card on a marked portion of the passengers' door, then ride. For the locations of where to buy GET cards, you can ask drivers once they stop at loading areas.

Why would I ride a comet?

Environment friendly because they don'r emit fumes, fast as their speed is 60 km per hour, and fan for its free wifi and television on-board. And the best part is the e-jeepney has camera installed at other end of the jeepney aimed at the door. The cameras take photos of each passengers getting on board and then transmit all photos taken to the command center. Now that's a one step forward for passenger safety, right?

Operating hours of Comet E-Jeepneys

Commets served passengers from 5am to 9pm.

How Comet E-Jeepneys are managed to serve the riding public?

All comets are being monitored by the command center for any problem, be it technical or human related, that might occurred while on the road. The command center has GPS tracking device that ensures all units are monitored wherever they are on their respective routes.

Comet E-Jeepney Is The New King Of Philippine Roads

Move over PUJ jeepney, COMET E-Jeepney is here. Yes! And it's taking your place as king of the road in Metro Manila. Packed with hi-tech features for the riding public, the new electrically powered public transportation vehicle for the masses hits the road this March.

Beginning of a new era

The forthcoming start of operation of the City Optimized Managed Environmental Transport (COMET) E-Jeepneys marks the beginning of a modernized public transportation system in the Philippines similar to the ones already existed in our neighboring Southeast Asian countries for so many years now.

For starters, fare is charged and paid through card. No ticket booth lines, no fare collection on board. Next, there are designated loading and unloading areas at which boarding passengers should wait and alighting passengers should get off. Now that's civilized way of commuting. These coupled ways of commuting, card payment system and loading/unloading only in designated areas, has long been the rule enforced and observed in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok and Hong Kong. Among the contemporaries, the Philippines is the only country that is still primitive in the area of moving its people through reliable, efficient and fast public transportation.

Moving forward, the COMET E-Jeepney is environment friendly as it doesn't emit fumes which caused polution.

High-tech

Each unit of COMET E-Jeepneys has wifi connection, flat screen tv, built-in camera for passengers' security and above all it utilizes a technology called 'air suspension' which enables the vehicle to drop and load disabled persons fast, safe and conveniently by lowering the platform in the door area and automatically moving it back up again to floor level of the vehicle. Definitely a good news for persons with disabilities. Lastly, the hi-tech e-jeep is capable of passing through flooded areas. That's what I've heard. Just want to see as to what extent. Very interesting! Let's just see come rainy season.



More economical to the old PUJ jeepney

Compare to regular jeepney, comet e-jeepney is cost efficient as it only needs to be charged for 5 hours in 220 volts that would amount to Php 400 to 500. With the same distance both types of jeepney take, traditional PUJ consume diesel that costs drivers and operators money amount to the tune of Php 1,200. Even with the impending power hike, electric consumption needed to charge COMET jeepney is way too low.

Initial Route

The first batch of COMETS numbering to 30 units is scheduled to open officially this coming March. They will serve the riding public from North EDSA to EDSA Ortigas and vice versa. Existing jeepney fare rate applied and charged through the card.

Let's welcome the arrival of COMETs!

Wilson - Greenhills Jeepney Route

This multi-cab turned jeepney that plies the route of McDonald's Wilson - Unimart Greenhills Shopping Center and Vice versa has been a great help for me in going home via Resort World Manila free shuttle service which is exclusive for members of Resort World Manila by virtue of a membership card that you can avail from their concierge at Newport City. You see RWM shuttle vans have fixed schedule of departure from Newport to specific destinations.

I wanted to leave Resort World at past 4 pm. But the available shuttle van scheduled to leave at 4:30 pm was headed to McDonald's Wilson, an area I've been passing through on wheels but haven't set my foot into. Still I decided to board the air-conditioned van from Newport City. As soon as I alighted at Wilson I saw the terminal of these multi-cabs with their routes painted on the vehicles' side.

The public transport takes the whole stretch of Wilson all the way to Ortigas Ave where it makes left then turns right onto Club Filipino Ave and offloads passengers inside Greenhills Shopping Center Complex where passengers headed to McDonald's Wilson in turn will board the jeepney.

The unloading area is near to the terminal of another jeepney bound for EDSA MRT-3 Santolan Station in which I boarded the train bound for North. It was a breeze for me. The shuttle left Newport exactly at 4:30 pm and at 5:15 pm I was already in Greenhills.

I recommended this route to other members of Resort World Manila who might need to leave Newport City at 4:30 pm.

How To Get To Buildings Along & Near Ayala Avenue From MRT

Getting to different buildings along Ayala Avenue and those near to the so called Wall Street of the Philippines is sometimes confusing if not complicated during weekdays because of the strictly enforced ordinance in loading and unloading which prohibits passengers from getting off the buses, jeepneys, taxis and even private cars at areas not designated for them. If you're not familiar with unloading areas, you'll just find yourself walking from an unloading area which is way too far from your destination. For instance, your destination is Atrium Building Makati and you haven't alighted at unloading area opposite Glorietta because you're thinking of alighting after the jeep crosses Makati Avenue. But there's no unloading area between Makati Avenue and Paseo de Roxas. You will be fined Php 500 if you're caught getting off the jeep at the areas designated for loading only. So, you have no choice but to get off the jeep after it crosses Paseo de Roxas. The result is you walking from Paseo de Roxas unloading area to your destination of Makati Atrium passing through one pedestrian underpass, a loading area and crossing two main thoroughfares. Well, walking is definitely good for our body but not if we're running after time.

Here's the guide on where to get off from a bus or jeepney that plies the route of Ayala Avenue and how to get to a particular building in the vicinity of Ayala Avenue. Since this post is for those who commute via MRT, directions are designed for jeepney passengers. However, bus commuters can also refer to these guides as well. Just follow the directions mentioned here on how to get to your building destination from the same unloading areas.

The direction here will guide you how to get to the buildings listed below from MRT Ayala Station. Please take note that this post will be updated from time to time to include other buildings. Also, this article only covered some of the buildings in the list. So, don't get disappointed if your building is not yet listed here. The thing is I make sure that I've seen each building before I include them on the list for accuracy of this guide. And for easy browsing and quick search, I decided to publish this direction and route guide to buildings along Ayala Avenue in parts. So, in this post, we only cover the buildings that are nearer to the first unloading area from EDSA. If your destination building is along Ayala Avenue but not here, e.g. KPMG Center, Robinsons Summit, and PBCom Tower, RCBC Plaza, LKG Tower, GT Tower, etc., just go to the following posts:

How To Commute From EDSA To Buildings Inside Ortigas Center

The sign in front of jeepneys that ply the route from the corner of EDSA and Ortigas Avenue to different buildings inside Ortigas Center CBD is 'Robinson's Galleria-Ortigas Complex'. The exact location where you can ride this jeep is in front of Galleria Corporate Center, the tall building connected to Robinson's Galleria Mall. Wait for a jeep to pass by at the corner of Galleria Corporate Center. This jeepney passes through the one way service road around Robinson's Galleria Mall from Ortigas Complex to its Terminal along Ortigas Avenue. The terminal is a long walk so commuters ride at Galleria Corporate Center and then they transfer to another jeepney at the terminal in going to Ortigas Center Complex.

'Robinson's Galleria-Ortigas Complex' jeepney route is a loop within Ortigas Center CBD that serves passengers from EDSA-Ortigas bus loading and unloading zone. So if you're traveling by bus in EDSA from either north (e.g. Monumento, Cubao, Fairview, Novaliches, Malanday, Valenzuela) or south (e.g. Baclaran, NAIA 1-2-3, Pasay, Alabang, Sucat, Bicutan, Pacita, Muntinlupa, Magallanes, Makati) of Metro Manila, all you need to do is get off the bus at Robinson's Galleria (just make sure you're riding a bus with "Ortigas Ilalim" sign and not "Ortigas Ibabaw") , ride this jeep, transfer to another jeep at the terminal and get off at the area in Ortigas Center Complex near to the building of your destination.

Riding a jeep from Galleria Corporate Center in EDSA to its terminal is FREE. Just get off the jeep and get in another jeep located to the front of the terminal. Minimum fare applies.

This post is a second part of series of articles on how to get to buildings located inside Ortigas Center CBD. Our first post entitled Walking Directions From MRT Station To Ortigas Center Buildings shares to you fastest way to reach some buildings from MRT-3 Ortigas Station. You can also read the third part of this series which explains how to commute to the buildings located to the southern side of Ortigas Center from MRT Shaw, click HERE. Meanwhile, the fourth chapter will give you walking directions from MRT Shaw to some important institutions nearer to the train station, i.e. San Properties Centre, EDSA Shangri-la Hotel, St. Francis Twin Towers, St. Francis of Assisi Church, etc., click HERE

From top-right clockwise: Orient Square, Wynsum Corporate Plaza, Discovery Suites, and JMT Corporate Condominium stand next to each other in this photo of Ortigas Center. Jeepneys with "Robinson's Galleria Ortigas Center Complex" sign passes through their location.

Ortigas Station is a long walk from jeepney route going to Ortigas Complex. I presume the time it takes to walk from MRT Ortigas Station to loading area of the jeepney plus the waiting time while the jeepney is being filled up is longer than the time it takes to walk from MRT-3 Ortigas Station to some of the buildings in Ortigas Center Complex.

To find out the buildings that are walking distance from MRT-3 Ortigas Station, go to Walking Directions From MRT Station To Ortigas Center Buildings or click here.

Now, if you're riding a bus and you get off at Ortigas Avenue, riding a jeepney in going to the location of a building inside Ortigas Center CBD is not quixotic. This is also true if you're riding a bus or jeepney or even taxi from Quiapo, Greenhills, San Juan, SM City Santa Mesa, Legarda, Gilmore, Ronac Arts Center, Ever Gotesco Ortigas, Libis, Antipolo, Taytay, etc. All you need to do is alight at unloading area along Ortigas Avenue in Robinson's Galleria, then ride the jeep at its terminal nearby.

Even so, there's no need to ride a jeep if you're going to any building located outside the opposite end of Robinsons Galleria such as Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, Robinson's Equitable Tower, Mega Plaza, AIC Burgundy, AIC Grande Tower, Corinthian Executive Regency, AIC Gold Tower, Greenhills Christian Fellowship and East of Galleria. These buidlings are just short walk away from the second main entrance of Robinson's Galleria located at the opposite end of the mall which is in ADB Avenue. Just enter the mall at EDSA main entrance, walk towards the opposite end of the mall, exit the mall at ADB main entrance and go towards the building of your destination.

Here's the route and direction of 'Robinson's Galleria-Ortigas Complex' jeepney from its terminal to different areas in Ortigas Center Complex where you can get off to go to your building destination.

NAIA 1-2-3 Shuttle Bus: Easy Way To Get To & From NAIA Terminals

Going to three terminals of Ninoy Aquino International Airport or NAIA presents problems for most of the commuters especially if they don't know what route of jeepneys or buses to take. Good for the old terminal 1 that its location is along the route of Metro Manila buses. One can get off the bus exactly at the old airport. In NAIA-2, you need to walk a little bit far to get to its ground. NAIA-3 is the most hard to reach by commuting among the three terminals because of its location.

FLASH! City buses from north of Metro Manila now go direct to NAIA 3 and 4. Read the latest article on how to go to terminal 4 and 3 in one bus ride from your location, go to City Buses Route Direct to NAIA-3 & 4 from North of Metro Manila

Thanks to NAIA Shuttle Bus, going to and from two terminals of our premier airport, NAIA-2 and NAIA-3, has never been this convenient for commuters. You can get in and out of these terminals even if you're not an arriving passenger. In Terminal 1, only arriving passengers can ride the shuttle bus but commuters going to the old airport can still get there by riding the shuttle bus.

IMPORTANT UPDATE (Sep 12, 2015): NAIA Shuttle is now called Airport Loop. The bus in the photo below no longer exists. They are replaced by Airport Loop buses. Also the location of new Airport Loop inside Pasay Bus Terminal has moved. The unloading spot in Terminal 3 is moved, too. So, I have created a new article that will guide you in locating and identifying the Airport Loop buses. In the new article, added are complete list of unloading areas and their locations along the entire route of the loop. Two unloading areas are now designated inside Newport City. You have to read the new article as it is fresh. Nevertheless, directions in this article are still usable in general so my recommendation is to read this and the new published article. Here's the link: Airport Loop: Where to Ride & Alight to and from NAIA Terminals.

If you're going to a NAIA Terminal to catch your flight, make sure you have enough time allowance. In addition to 3 hours requirement for international flight and 2 hours for local flight for a flying passenger to be at the airport before the time of the flight, an added 2 hours allowance is needed if you're going to NAIA-1 via Shuttle Bus to make up for the waiting time both in Bus Station at Pasay Rotonda and NAIA-3.
