How to Commute to U.P. Town Center from Cubao

Start Point: Gateway Mall
Go to Route Index
List of PUV Terminals

Route used: Aurora Blvd. (LRT-2) > Aurora Blvd. sidewalk > underneath Katipunan Flyover > Katipunan Ave.

You have two options to get to Katipunan: the LRT-2 train or by jeep. The train is faster although the jeep will have slightly lower fare.

By LRT-2 train (recommended)

1. At Gateway Mall, take the exit at the 3rd floor that leads directly to the LRT station. Take the train going to Santolan station.
2. Get off at Katipunan Avenue station and take the exit located at the same side as St. Bridget School.
3. At the exit of Katipunan Avenue station, turn left and start walking towards Katipunan Avenue.
4. At the corner, cross the street so that you reach underneath the Katipunan flyover.
5. Underneath the flyover walk towards the jeepney terminal (you need to walk in the direction going towards U.P.-Diliman).
6. At the terminal, there are two types of jeepney waiting to be filled with passengers. One goes towards Tandang Sora, while the other one stops inside the U.P.-Diliman campus. You can take either one.

Tip: Jeeps will only depart once they are full. Choose the jeepney that's close to full so that your wait time is less.

7. Tell the driver to drop you off at U.P. Town Center (it will be to your right).

By jeep

1. At Gateway Mall, make your way towards the exit to Aurora Blvd. Flag down any of the jeeps going to Marikina, CalumpangParang, SSS Village, San Mateo, Cogeo.
2. Tell the driver to drop you off at Katipunan.
3. Most jeeps stop outside the LRT-2 Katipunan Avenue station but don't get down there. Instead, allow the jeep to go further until it stops underneath the Katipunan flyover.
4. Use the pedestrian overpass to cross to the other side.
5. Once at the other side, walk towards the jeepney terminal (you need to walk in the direction going towards U.P.-Diliman).
6. At the terminal, there are two types of jeepney waiting to be filled with passengers. One goes towards Tandang Sora, while the other one stops inside the U.P.-Diliman campus. You can take either one.
