Ayala-Ortigas Shuttle Terminal at Masinag, Antipolo City


Back in 2008, I used to work for a Japanese company located at BGC, Taguig. Bonifacio Global City is really a nice place for work, leisure and residence. I used to take a Cubao -> MRT-Ayala -> company shuttle route before, then I discovered that there's a "more relaxing" way to get to Ayala, that is to take a Masinag trip, then ride a shuttle going to Ayala.

I was thrilled at first because it's easier, plus I could get an hour of additional sleep. I became too comfortable with taking this route, from my usual arrival time of 6-6:15 am, I went up to 6:30-6:45am, then I discovered that arriving there at 6:30 will make you late. Because 6:30 is the time when people are starting to pile up while other shuttles are on their way to and from Ayala. The queue of people will start to mimimize at around 7-7:30am. During this time, a number of shuttles come back for their next trip.

I had few other jobs before working again in Taguig. Now, that I'm a Taguig-based employee again, I take the shuttle rides everytime I spend my Sunday evenings in our house at Antipolo and leave the next day.

This picture was taken as I'm typing this post. Snake-like queue, eh?

Right now, I'm struggling to arrive in this shuttle terminal at around 6-6:20 am. It's either I had troubles getting a ride to be here or I just woke up late. :P I'll have to wait between 30 minutes up to an hour for my turn. Too bad when I'm wearing high heels or (an elevated) wedge sandals.
