How to Commute to Bonifacio High Street from Cubao

Start Point: MRT-3 Araneta Center-Cubao station
Go to Route Index
List of PUV Terminals

Route used: EDSA (MRT-3) > McKinley Road > 5th Avenue > Rizal Drive > McKinley Parkway > Serendra premises / sidewalk

1. From MRT-3 Araneta Center-Cubao station, get on the southbound train (heading to Taft Avenue station).
2. Get off at MRT-3 Ayala Avenue station.
3. Upon exiting the turnstile, turn right and at the end of the corridor turn right again so that you exit the station at the Dasmarinas Village side.
4. Make your way to the Ayala Market Jeepney Terminal (once you get down from the MRT station you can take the side road located a few meters after the stairs; at some point you will cross McKinley Road to get to the jeepney terminal).
5. Get on the jeep with "Market-Market" placard. There are signs at the waiting shed so it's easy to see where to wait.

Note: You could also take The Fort bus, but the jeep has cheaper fare and also takes the more direct route.

6. Sometimes the jeep takes McKinley Parkway all the way, passing by SM Aura and then ending up at Market-Market. However, some jeeps turn left at 11th Avenue, turn right at 26th Avenue before turning left again into McKinley Parkway and Market-Market.

a. In case jeep passes by SM Aura:

i. Simply get off at Market-Market
ii. Cross the street into Serendra. There's a strip of shops and eateries at the center of Serendra that you can pass through. Once at the other end of Serendra, simply cross the street (11th Avenue) and you will find yourself at Bonifacio High Street.

Landmark: Fully Booked building marks the premises of Bonifacio High Street

b. In case jeep passes by 11th Avenue and 26th Avenue before getting on McKinley Parkway again:

i. You can get down at the corner of 11th Avenue and 26th Avenue, i.e. as the jeep makes its right turn.
ii. Cross the street. Serendra should now be on your right.
iii. Keep walking along the sidewalk of Serendra until you see the Fully Booked building. Find the pedestrian crossing and enter Bonifacio High Street.

Note: In case you're not sure at which intersection to get down, you can simply wait until the jeep reaches Market-Market and follow the directions in section "a" above.
