How to Commute to Alabang from Greenhills

Start Point: Virramall
Go to Route Index
List of PUV Terminals

Route used: EDSA (MRT-3 / bus) > Magallanes Interchange > SLEX / Skyway

1. At the main exit of Virramall fronting Ortigas Avenue (where the buses and jeeps coming from EDSA drop passengers off to Virramall), use the pedestrian overpass nearby to cross the street.
2. Once on the other side, there is a jeepney terminal at the base of the overpass.
3. Tell the driver you will get down at EDSA. The jeep will usually stop beside the POEA building and from there it's a short walk to the corner of EDSA and Ortigas Avenue.
4. From this point, you have two options: take the bus all the way to Alabang, or use the MRT-3 to get to Ayala Avenue station so that you can skip most of the traffic in EDSA.

Via bus (only one ride to Alabang but ideal during days of light traffic on EDSA such as Sundays)

a. You can wait for a bus in front of the POEA building, but if there's an MMDA enforcer he will direct you to the bus stop about 30 more meters away, in front of a 24-hour convenience store.
b. Get on any bus with placards "Alabang-Metropolis / South Station" or "Pacita / Alabang-Starmall"

Caution: Don't get on any "Pacita Derecho" bus because it will bypass Alabang.

c. Pacita-bound buses will drop you off just after the tollgate beside the Alabang viaduct, while South Station-bound buses will drop you off inside Alabang South Station.

Via MRT-3 (more walking and more transfers but helps you skip most of the traffic in EDSA)

a. Get on any southbound (i.e. headed to Makati) bus and get off at the MRT-3 Ortigas Avenue station.

Note: If you want to save on bus fare you can just walk to the MRT-3 station but it's a long walk.

b. At the Ortigas Avenue station, get on the southbound train and get off at MRT-3 Ayala station.
c. Exit Ayala station on the same side as SM Makati to get to the bus waiting station underneath Ayala Avenue station.
d. Get on any bus with placards "Alabang-Metropolis / South Station" or "Pacita / Alabang-Starmall"

Caution: Don't get on any "Pacita Derecho" bus because it will bypass Alabang.

e. Pacita-bound buses will drop you off just after the tollgate beside the Alabang viaduct, while South Station-bound buses will drop you off inside Alabang South Station.
