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.

  2. Hi. I'm so sorry for the very late response, I didn't get to check this for months. There is a shuttle terminal in a parking lot beside MRT Ayala station.

    1. Along Paseo de Roxas corner Ayala yung last stop nya, sa may Philam Life Tower. Pero dati tumatawid pa sila sa Dela Rosa St., di ko lang sure ngayon if meron pa sa kanila ang umaabot dun. Nung huli kong sakay ng Ayala na shuttle, magpapa tawid sana ako sa Dela Rosa, di na daw siya tumatawid dun. Ayun po.

    1. Hi Andhie, ride an Ayala-C5 route and then ask the driver to pull over sa may "tawiran" that's in front of the Villa Kalayaan subdivision gate. Then cross the street, and ride a Gate-3 jeep, tapos baba ka na lang kung saan malapit. Option 2, magpababa ka sa paanan ng Buendia/Kalayaan bridge, tawid ka sa ilalim ng bridge, and sa may JP morgan na ang labas mo nun, I think mas malapit yun at mas malapit din yun sa sakayan at babaan ng BGC bus :)
