Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange or PITX is the first-ever landport in the Philippines. Opened in 2018, this transport hub aims to make commuting between the city and the provinces more convenient.
It connects the nearby provinces south of Metro Manila like Cavite and Laguna to different cities in the metro with buses and jeepneys with various routes. Additionally, it also connects them to destinations up north like Baguio and even provinces in Visayas and Mindanao.
At the same time, PITX serves as a transport hub for other provincial destinations in the south like Batangas and Bicol.
Situated in AsiaWorld, Bay City, Parañaque, PITX sits near the north end of CAVITEX and a few blocks away from NAIA Road. From the airport, PITX is only around 20 minutes away. Because of its proximity, it’s a great option for travelers flying into Manila to go straight to PITX and catch a bus bound for other land-accessible destinations in the country.
This transport terminal has various shops and restaurants inside. It was honestly quite impressive to see how well-equipped the hub is to handle the droves of commuters that now rely on it.
This post is an extensive PITX guide, perfect for first-timers boarding from the hub. We’ll share with you the routes you can take from PITX, food spots you can grab a quick bite from, and other facilities available at this modern transportation facility.
WHAT'S IN THIS GUIDE?
How to Get to PITX
From Cubao
EDSA Carousel
EDSA Carousel’s Southbound buses make a final stop at PITX. There are two stations in Cubao: Nepa Q Mart and Main Avenue. The challenge is that EDSA Carousel stops are housed in stations that do not have a uniform format or layout. Some stops make passengers go through the adjacent MRT or LRT station just to get to the boarding area, while some merely require you to cross a footbridge. Just make sure to follow the signs that lead you to the SOUTHBOUND LANE. Look out for the sign-boards that read PITX.

Taxi or Ride-Hailing Apps
If you’re traveling with luggage, you can ride a taxi and ask the driver to drop you off at PITX. Fare is around P400-500. However, if you decide to take a taxi, know that some drivers may insist on a set price for the fare instead of using the meter. When you ride a taxi, make sure that the meter is running once your trip starts.
There are a few ride-hailing apps available in Metro Manila, such as Grab, InDrive, and JoyRide. You can book either a 4-seater or 6-seater car from their mobile app, available on Android and iOS. Fare is around P450-730 from Cubao to PITX. While it’s a bit pricier than taking a taxi, the advantage is that you’ll have access to your exact fare before booking and have the ability to track your trip.
From NAIA (Manila Airport)
P2P Bus
If you’re coming from NAIA, UBE Express operates a P2P bus to PITX. However, please note that according to their Facebook page, buses to PITX have no set departure schedule and the wait time for passengers is around 30 minutes to an hour. So if you’re in a rush, this might not be the option for you. You may check the UBE Express Official Facebook Page for the updated schedule. The fare costs P150.

Taxi or Ride Hailing Apps
Taking a taxi or booking a ride through a ride hailing app is the more convenient option if you don’t want to wait for the bus to leave or you have luggage with you. There are three types of taxis available in NAIA: Coupon Taxi (fixed rate), Yellow Metered Taxi, and Regular Metered Taxi. Fares may vary across options. Whichever type of taxi you decide to get, you will be handed a dispatch slip at the booth which contains details of the taxi and numbers you can call if you have an issue about your ride. Keep this dispatch slip with you until you reach your destination. You need not surrender this to your driver.
Another option is to book a ride using a ride-hailing app. The most commonly used apps here in the Philippines are Grab, InDrive, and JoyRide. You can either download the app to book a ride or look for the Grab booth where the booth attendant can book a ride for you. Fare is around P270 – P350.

From City of Manila
LRT-1 Line
LRT-1, or Light Rail Transit Line 1 currently links five major cities in Metro Manila — Quezon City, Caloocan, Manila, Pasay, and Parañaque. So, if you are coming from the City of Manila (or anywhere along this route), this is a great option too. This also offers a direct, convenient, and more affordable way to get to PITX.
LRT-1 recently added five new stops, and one of them is PITX Station, also known as Asia World Station. For passengers getting off at the southbound side of the station, simply follow the exit signs leading you directly to the third level of PITX building. Those alighting at the northbound side of the station can use the pedestrian bridge situated at the northern end of the platform to cross to the opposite side.
Keep in mind that all bags and luggage are subject to inspection at station entrances as part of security procedures.
Taxi or Ride Hailing Apps
If you choose to ride a taxi, make sure that the driver will use the meter. Otherwise, negotiate the fare first before hopping in. The fare is between P500 to P600.
If you have multiple luggage in tow and are more comfortable booking a car using a ride-hailing app, the usual choices are Grab, InDrive, or JoyRide. The fare range is from P550 to P650. Please note that the fares may vary based on the time of the day, travel distance, and vehicle type. It’s best to check all three apps beforehand to compare rates before booking a ride.
Tickets and Boarding Process
How to Get Tickets
Different types of transportation options are available at PITX and the process of getting tickets for them varies. City buses, Cavite buses, jeepneys, and provincial buses with different routes make a stop or terminate here. All routes and where you can find them in the terminal are listed in the next section, but first, here’s how you can get your tickets:
- For city buses, Cavite buses, and jeepneys. Proceed to the gate where the bus or jeepney you plan to take is assigned. There are usually drivers or conductors who will show you which one you should board. Then, pay your fare once you’re inside the vehicle.
- For provincial buses. There are multiple ticket booths for provincial buses and each booth caters to different routes. Depending on where your destination is, head to the assigned ticket booth and get your tickets. You will then know which gate you should head toward during boarding. Tickets can either be purchased for the earliest available trip or you can choose to buy a ticket for a later time or date.
Provincial Bus Tickets
For Provincial Bus ticket holders, here’s what it looks like. You will see the following details:
- QR code. This will be scanned at the gate when it’s time for you to board your bus.
- Bus Company. This shows the name of the bus company where you purchased your ticket.
- Departure Terminal. It tells you where you’re departing from, which in this case is PITX.
- Destination/Route. This one indicates the city or town you are heading to.
- Departure Date & Time. It shows the date and time your bus is scheduled to depart.
- Seat Assignment. This is the one to check for your assigned seat number.
- Gate and Bay. This directs you to your designated gate and bus bay for boarding.
How to Board Provincial Buses
Since passengers traveling to the provinces or taking long-distance buses need to secure tickets first, the boarding procedure usually requires additional steps. Here’s the process:
- After securing your ticket, proceed to your assigned departure gate.
- When it’s time to board, scan your ticket at the turnstile.
- Make your way to your designated bus bay, then board your bus.
REMEMBER! Be at the gate at least 30 minutes before your departure time and always pay attention to announcements, such as calls for boarding and trip changes.
