End of Update

The new integrated bus terminal for all Batangas and Cavite bound buses will be known as "South West Integrated Provincial Transport Terminal." For commuters that will be affected by the transfer, here's the good news. MMDA has also put up its Coastal Mall Station for "Bus Management Dispatch System" that will handle northbound city buses. In other words, South West Integrated Terminal and MMDA Bus Management Dispatch System are located in the same location which is the Coastal Mall.

Huge Help for Affected Commuters in terms of Convenience

What does this new development means for everyone? Most affected commuters especially those who travel to work daily from provinces of Cavite and Batangas worry about the distance of loading area for their second ride from the integrated terminal. I for one had thought that you needed to cross Roxas Blvd to ride a city bus. I could just imagine the daunting daily routine of climbing those footbridges, and after passing through two that connected to each other, down in the road you would have to grapple with other passengers to ride a crowded bus. You would also need to run as it's chaotic there. Buses stop anywhere. They are all over the place. That's crazy. And yes the inconvenience brought about by riding a jam packed bus is also a major issue. Now that the terminal of city buses is adjacent to provincial buses, transfer is more convenient. Furthermore, since the city buses terminal is also a dispatch station, you are always assured of a vacant seat. If the first bus is full, you just need to take the next bus that will be dispatched.
