Good news for Metro Manila commuters&mdash;especially those traveling from Para&ntilde;aque to Antipolo. As of June 16, the Para&ntilde;aque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX) has officially launched a direct bus route to Antipolo, making it easier to get across the metro without hopping from one ride to another. This route connects the south and east through 32 stops, including major points like NAIA Terminal 3, Market! Market!, Arcovia, and SM East.
The bright orange buses from Baclaran Metrolink leave PITX daily between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., and can be found at Gate 9, Bay 9. Fares are affordable&mdash;starting at P15 and going up to P92 for the full trip to Robinsons Antipolo. Discounts are also available for students, senior citizens, and PWDs.
This new line is one of the longest routes coming out of PITX, passing through Pasay, Makati, Taguig, Pasig, and Rizal. It&rsquo;s a game-changer for daily commuters who&rsquo;ve grown used to making three or more transfers just to reach their destination. With this new option, the trip becomes more straightforward and less stressful.
Since the route is still in its early days, schedules might adjust based on demand and traffic flow. If you&rsquo;re planning to ride early in the morning or late in the evening, it&rsquo;s best to stay updated through official announcements. Still, this new ride already feels like a step in the right direction for Metro Manila commuters.
