How to Commute to Binondo from Alabang

Start Point: Alabang South Station
Go to Route Index
List of PUV Terminals

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

1.  At Alabang South Station, make your way to the loading areas of the jeeps with placards going to:

a. Zapote
b. Las Pinas
c. SM Southmall
d. Baclaran

You can get on any of the above jeeps.
2.   Get down across SM Southmall.
      3.   Wait for the buses with placards "Sta. Cruz" or "Lawton."

Bus headed to Sta. Cruz

Tell the conductor 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

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 just 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.
