there are other means to get to marketmarket, the expensivetaxi, this time consuming bus, the suffocating jeep, and for those who dare, the flying motorcycle.
For starters, routes are divided into two (3 during rush hour). West Route has the most riders and passes through McKinley Road, while the East Route buses are headed to Market! Market! and the BHS.
This is the cheapest and safest way to go around Global City. Buses are available 24 hours but always make sure you allot enough time (30 mins to an hour) bec there are long lines esp during rush hr
feel free to ask the conductors where your destination is. the lines "east", "upper west" and "lower west" can be a little confusing for those unfamiliar with the routes.
Check the routes vis-a-vis your destination prior so you know which queue you'll join in. http://www.bonifacioestate.com/index.php/faqs/bus-routes.html
Convenient way to get between the fort and makati but requires some foot work to get to. Close enough to all the malls though to be an option. 12 peso ride
Ealry morning trips have 30-minute intervals. If you're on a 5am shift, be here a couple of minutes before 4:30am (and perhaps hope that no bus drivers are sick/on leave).
Very convenient, but not when you are in a hurry. Take a cab instead. 12pesos of more than 15-20minutes of waiting + 15minutes travel time versus 60-80pesos of getting to your destination on time.
Always ask what route the driver would takeor go to. Most of the time they change where they drop off people. So if you do not know bgc. Be careful. You might end up lost.
