(SPOT.ph) If you live in the southern part of Metro Manila or its nearby provinces, commuting to the airport for your trips can feel like a whole arduous journey in itself. Sure, taking a Grab or a trusty ol' cab is an option—but with surging fares and compounding toll fees, that convenient ride can make your wallet cry.
Nowadays, you can also opt for P2P airport buses from select malls, and if you happen to be in Sta. Rosa, Laguna, or its neighboring cities, your P2P experience just got a huge upgrade. Introducing UBE Express' Passenger Lounge. Here's how this first-of-its-kind passenger amenity can help start your trip off on the right foot.

Check out the new UBE Express Airport P2P Passenger Lounge in Laguna:
Located in Robinsons Sta. Rosa, the UBE Express Airport P2P Passenger Lounge was built for passengers from Laguna and its surrounding areas who want a smoother, more relaxed way to get to NAIA Terminals 1, 2, and 3.
While this P2P bus route has long been an option for Southie commuters, it wasn't always ideal. Sure, riding the P2P is the more affordable option at just P300 per ride, but it also meant waiting for the bus out in the heat at Robinsons Sta. Rosa's parking lot. However, with the new free passenger lounge, travelers can wait for the bus inside a cool, air-conditioned space with seating for up to 40 people.
Open daily from 4 a.m. to 10 p.m., the lounge is a convenient spot to wait—whether you’re catching an early morning ride or heading out on a red-eye flight.
There is also free Wi-Fi and accessible phone charging stations if you must wait longer than usual for your ride.
It’s a welcome change of pace, especially for frequent travelers who want to get to the airport without spending too much to get there. And this is only the beginning—the Robinsons Sta. Rosa area is also being prepped as a future hub for more buses with routes to and from Lucena, Quezon and Lipa, Batangas. Fingers crossed, this becomes a reality sooner rather than later.
