1. If you're at SM Makati, use the MRT-3 Ayala Avenue station to cross EDSA.
2. Once you're on the other side of EDSA, 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). (See it on Google Maps)
3. 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.

4. 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.

If the jeep uses McKinley Parkway all the way, you can simply get down at SM Aura. However, if the jeep turns left on 11th Avenue, you can just get down at the corner of 26th Avenue and McKinley Parkway (before the jeep turns left into Market-Market).

If you get confused and end up at Market-Market, it's okay because SM Aura is only walking distance from Market-Market.
