Flight chronicles of the backpacker Tutubi, with travelogues, pictures/photos/videos, travel guides, independent and honest reviews, affordable, recommended resorts and hotels (including inns, guesthouses, pension houses, lodges, hostels, condotels, bed and breakfast and other cheap accommodations), commuting guides, routes (sometimes street maps and GPS coordinates/waypoints) and driving directions to answer "how to get there" questions, information and tips on tourism, budget travel and living in Philippines, Exotic Asia and beyond!
Backpacking, independent travel, and flashpacking are cheaper than the "cheapest package tours" and promotional offers around but you can also use travel information for family vacations, even romantic honeymoon destinations.
More than the usual tourist spots and "places to see," this blog advocates heritage conservation, environmental protection, and history awareness for Filipinos, foreigners, and ex-pats wishing to explore Paradise Philippines and Exotic Asia!
MMDA Southwest Integrated Bus Terminal (Uniwide Coastal Mall) to Cavite/Batangas
The move of the MMDA to build integrated bus terminals to limit provincial buses outside the city is really needed, but (Tutubi said but), it's implementation is wanting where the impact to commuters was not properly thought of and commuters, who were the ones affected, were not consulted.
The most glaring omission by the MMDA was the absence of the transfer buses/jeepneys to Lawton and Taft Avenue where most of those affected are heading. There are buses to EDSA passing by Uniwide Coastal Mall, particularly those going to NAIA terminals 1 and 2 (signboard MIA) but very few to accommodate the deluge of commuters from Cavite and Batangas
Expect the same chaos when the South Integrated Bus Terminal opens in Alabang, Muntinlupa (by DOTC) and the North Integrated Bus Terminal in Quezon City (reportedly temporarily at Trinoma Mall to cause major traffic there. (DPWH, it should be somewhere near Balintawak Market and LRT Station)
Herewith is the list of destinations and bus companies operating at the Uniwide Coastal Mall (Southwest Integrated Bus Terminal).
The information will be updated once available. Tutubi passed by last weekend but wasn't able to take pictures as he was driving)
