LIST: Here Are the Routes at Valenzuela's Bus Terminal

(SPOT.ph) PSA: There’s a huge bus terminal in Valenzuela City. It might not be as known to the general public as the PITX, but it pays to know all the ways you can move around the Metro and beyond. 

The Valenzuela Gateway Complex (VGC) is an intermodal transit hub at Paso de Blas in Valenzuela City. It’s a welcome infrastructure for commuters who are looking for a convenient way to travel to and from Northern Luzon and Central Luzon.

Since 2019, the VGC Terminal has been servicing bus rides to Monumento, SM North EDSA. It has only recently began to provide a route to Cubao and the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX) following popular demand.

VGC is situated alongside East Service Road of the North Luzon Expressway at its junction with Paso de Blas Road and opposite Puregold.
