Metro Manila commuting, part 2

Sucat (Parañaque) to Makati: There are several ways of reaching Makati from Sucat:

* Head for the McDonald's at BF Homes-Sucat. Ride the shuttle to Makati. It goes through Skyway, so expect the ride to be very fast (and kinda expensive). The shuttle will pass by several known locations in Makati -- like Greenbelt, Landmark, PLDT, Enterprise Building and Ayala Avenue.

* Take a jeepney to the Sucat Interchange. Be careful 'coz several roads converge at this one point and many vehicles are just eager to run you over! Ride the open air bus to Ayala Ibabaw (not Ayala Ilalim!) until you reach the Ayala MRT station.

Ayala Station. The elevator and stairs lead to the MRT station,
while the lower floor leads to the bus station. Picture from Mithril Cloud of Wikipedia.


* Ride a Pasay Rotonda-bound jeepney along the Service Road until you reach an MRT station. Ride the MRT to Ayala.

Makati to [anywhere else]: Head for the shuttle station near the Ayala MRT station. Have fun exploring! Warning: The shuttle station is usually full of people in long lines. The fare is also more expensive. If you don't like waiting (like me) and don't like spending money on transportation (like me again), you can take other options to reach your destination.

Makati to Sucat (Parañaque): Ride the shuttle to Sucat. Or, go to the Ayala bus station (near the Ayala MRT station), then ride the bus to Sucat.

Makati to Alabang (Muntinlupa): Ride the shuttle to Alabang. Or, go to the Ayala bus station, then ride the bus to Alabang. You will alight at either the South Station (good!) or the Alabang Market (bad!) depending on the bus driver's state of mind.

But wait, there's more! Check out all my posts on commuting.
