How to Commute to Binondo from Alabang

Start Point: Alabang Town Center (ATC)
Go to Route Index

Route used: Alabang-Zapote Road > Coastal Road > Roxas Blvd. > Buendia Ave. > Taft Ave. > Padre Burgos Ave. > MacArthur Bridge > Bustos Street

If you are facing ATC from Alabang-Zapote Road, go to the parking lot at the leftmost portion of ATC. At the parking lot you can get on the bus with placards "Sta. Cruz Manila" or "Lawton."

Note: You may need to wait some time before the next bus arrives.

Bus headed to Sta. Cruz

This is just one ride for you. Simply state that you're headed for Sta. Cruz and get down at the plaza rotonda in front of Sta. Cruz church (the farthest extent of the bus route).

At one side of the plaza you will see the welcome arch to Chinatown, and that is already Ongpin Street. Get on that street in order to enter the heart of Binondo.

Bus headed to Lawton

For this route you need two rides.
  1. Once on the bus, tell the conductor you will get down along Taft Avenue. I suggest getting down at U.N. Avenue because there is a McDonalds and Jollibee store there where you can use the restroom before the next part of your commute.
  2. After getting down from the bus, get on any jeep that has a placard "Sta. Cruz" or "Sta. Cruz - Simbahan."
  3. Alight from the jeep after it crosses MacArthur Bridge. You will need to walk by Sta. Cruz church until you reach the plaza with the welcome arch to Chinatown.
