A CONVENIENT ROUTE TO MAKATI CITY

Location: Pasig River, Brgy. Hulo, Mandaluyong City and Poblacion, Makati City

Nightscape at this Pasig River Boat Crossing


This may not be a tourist spot but I was amazed to know that there is a short cut routes from Mandaluyong to Makati City without passing through the traffic jammed Edsa. Aside from minimizing the fare cost, it also helps to save time for those commuting from Mandaluyong to Makati City.

I do reside in Mandaluyong City and the jeep travel with a route of Hulo which passes through our residence near Jose Rizal University (JRU) Shaw Boulevard Campus is so accessible to me and this public utility jeep drops me right there in the boat terminal Hulo-Mandaluyong side. It is so convenient and I only pay P7 for the jeepney for one way.

The motor service boat


The boat has barely five minutes interval as it only accommodates around 28 passengers for P4.00 one way and the trip is barely a minute to cross to the other end of the river bank.

    1. Ito un. From paseo ay lalabas ka to makati ave. Tapos sa dulo ng tulay ay sasakay ka jeep going to guadalupe pero bababa ka doon sa pier. Hindi kalayuan iyan.
