PITX, the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange, is Metro Manila's main bus terminal for the south. Provincial buses to Batangas, Quezon, Laguna, Bicol and Mindoro leave here, along with Cavite and Tagaytay services, a few long-haul trips to the Visayas and Mindanao, and some buses to Baguio.[1] It is the first "landport" in the Philippines[2] and sits next to the LRT-1 PITX station.[3] For the north (Pangasinan, Ilocos, Cagayan), most buses leave from Cubao, Sampaloc or Pasay instead.

Location and how to get there

PITX is on Kennedy Road in Parañaque City,[4] at Diosdado Macapagal Boulevard and CAVITEX, which connect the south with Metro Manila.[5] The customer service phone numbers are 8396-3817 to 18.[6]

  • LRT-1: PITX station is on the LRT-1 Cavite Extension.[7] On 9 October 2026 the operator LRMC announced extra ticket counters, satellite booths, express lanes for stored value cards and a reworked gate layout to ease peak-hour queues, with the full upgrade planned for the fourth quarter.[3]
  • EDSA Carousel: buses run to PITX from Cubao, Megamall, Ayala (MRT), Pasay Rotonda, MOA and MCU. Buses to the EDSA Busway board at Gate 10 on the ground floor.[1]
  • City buses and jeepneys: Quezon Avenue, Lawton and NLET buses, Divisoria and Blumentritt jeepneys, Vito Cruz via MOA modern jeepneys, Alabang buses and a BGC bus all run to PITX.[8]
  • Car: parking is open 24 hours, and the third floor is for private vehicles.[1]

Some northern operators run a few trips from here too. Partas has a PITX counter (ground floor, Ticket Booth 6, Counter 8) with trips to Bangued and Laoag City (Manila to Laoag).[4] GV Florida runs an evening bus from PITX to Tuguegarao via Ilagan (Manila to Tuguegarao).[9] Genesis runs P2P buses between PITX and Clark and Balanga (Bataan), and its sister line Saulog Transit serves Naic and Ternate in Cavite (Manila to Pampanga).[10]

Tickets and facilities

PITX uses a centralized boarding pass system and online booking, and the terminal houses restaurants, shops and services.[5] Buy at the booth for your route, or book online with the operator, then go to the gate shown on the live schedule. Bicol tickets are split between Ticket Booth 1 (aircon) and the Travel Hub on the 2nd floor (non-aircon and ordinary).[1]

Tips

  • Use the live schedule. The terminal's live bus board shows your bus's gate and bay. Gates are assigned by route, not by company.[1]
  • Allow time at the LRT-1 station. If you arrive by train at peak times, expect a queue for tickets and gates while the upgrade is under way.[3]
  • Pick the right terminal for the north. PITX has Baguio buses, which started in August 2019,[2] but Pangasinan, Ilocos and Cagayan are served mainly from Cubao and Sampaloc. See Baguio to Manila for the return trip.
  • Expect Holy Week and holiday crowds. PITX and government agencies mobilise ahead of Holy Week for a passenger surge, so buy early when you can.[5]
