(SPOT.ph) The Metro Manila commute is one of the struggles of every urban dweller. It gets worse during rush hour, and more so when you have the dreaded combo: Rainy Friday payday. But with the new routes that the point-to-point bus services keep adding, traveling to and from far-away cities is now more convenient. RRCG Transport, one of the biggest operators of point-to-point (P2P) buses in the Metro, just launched a new service from Alabang Town Center in Muntinlupa City to Century City Mall in Makati City. Trips, with a one-way fare of P100, are available from Monday to Friday.
The location of Century City Mall in Poblacion, Makati, makes it a good drop-off point for those coming from the south of the Metro. It's just a jeepney ride away from Santa Ana and Sta. Mesa in Manila, just a bridge (or banca) away from Mandaluyong, and just a few steps away from Makati's Central Business District. The P2P route also has a special drop-off point at Circuit Makati (formerly the Sta. Ana Race Track).
The service starts on November 5 with departure times at 6 a.m. for Alabang Town Center and 6 p.m. for Century City Mall.
UPDATE (November 5, 1:30 p.m.): Starting on November 6, the departure time is at 7 a.m. for Alang Town Center and 6 p.m. for Century City Mall. There are special drop-off points at Greenbelt 1 and Circuit Makati.
