Here's how to get to the SM North EDSA Terminal of PASABAY bus.

The terminal is located at Waterfalls Area beneath SM Sky Garden.

If you're coming from MRT North Station, the fastest way to get to the terminal is to walk along EDSA towards SM North, use the pedestrian overpass connected to the SM Sky Garden. There's stair at the other end of the pedestrian just before it connects to the SM Sky Garden. Walk down the pedestrian overpass stair and head towards the waterfall area to get to the terminal. Alternatively, you can go straight to the SM Sky Garden, walk towards the second footbridge of Sky Garden that connects to main building of SM North. The first footbridge is connected to SM The Block building. Use the escalator or elevator near the second footbridge to get to the ground and head to the PASABAY Booth where the bus stands to load passengers.

If you're coming from Trinoma, just use the pedestrian overpass that links Trinoma to SM North. Once in SM Sky Garden, walk past the first bridge that connects to SM The Block until you get to the second bridge. Use escator or elevator to get to the ground where you will immediately see the PASABAY Booth and the bus if it's already arrived.

If you're riding a bus from Monumento, Novaliches, Bulacan or other areas in the northern Metro Manila, get off the bus near Eurotel. Use the pedestrian overpass located near Eurotel not the overpass located at West Avenue. Walk across EDSA via that pedestrian overpass, and at the other end of the overpass, use the stairs to get to the ground. Head towards the waterfalls area. There you see the PASABAY Booth and the bus.

If you're coming from covered parking area at the back of SM City North, this is the parking building that also houses furniture & interiors, use the last bridge which leads to cinema 9, 10, 11, 12 and IMAX Theater. The first bridge is the one that connects to SM The Block, the second is the middle bridge that leads to cinema 5, 6, 7 and 8. Use the elevator near IMAX Theater to get to the ground level. Walk towards Jollibee and use the entrance beside Jollibee to get out of the mall. Immediately, you will see the PASABAY Booth and the bus if it's already arrived, across the service road to your left.

If you're coming from the new SM City North Annex Building which houses Cyberzone, just get out of the building at the second floor and towards the Sky Garden. Walk along the walkway of the Sky Garden until you get to Marina Restaurant. There's an escalator near comfort rooms to the left just before you get to Marina Restaurant. Use that to get to the ground where you will immediately see the waterfalls area and near it is the PASABAY Booth and the bus if it's already arrived.
