Heads Up, Commuters: These E-Buses Now Connect Megamall and Fairview
It's always a YES for more public transport options.
Another transport alternative for those heading to northern parts of Metro Manila has surfaced in Ortigas. This time, it's sustainable, too.
Global Electric Transport (GET), which operates electric buses, already has a route from SM Megamall to SM City Fairview and vice versa. The route spans 27km and features more than a dozen stops.
Conveniently, GET's SM Electric Bus service trips are paid for via an app, too. So all you have to do is download the GETPass app on your smartphone and create an account. From there, join the 'SM Electric Bus' org. A QR code will then be generated for you to scan when getting on and off the service.
