Lag alag

When we say Greenhills, we refer to Greenhills Shopping Center, a 16 hectare commercial
complex in San Juan City, Metro Manila. Located here are different malls, cinemas and a concert
venue such as Annapolis Carpark Square, The Jewellery, Connecticut Carpark, Bridgeway
Shops, The Shops, Lifestyle Center, Beauty Central, McKinley Arcade, The Strip, Theater Mall,
Promenade, Music Museum, Shoppesville Arcade and V Mall.

Greenhills is accessible by public transportation such as jeepneys and buses through Ortigas
Avenue, a popular road that also intersects EDSA, the only main highway of Metro Manila
where major buses ply the route from north to south and vice versa. This makes commuting to
Greenhills simple for Metro Manilans. Either from north or south by bus, they just alight at the
intersection of Ortigas Avenue and EDSA, then ride a jeepney or bus to go to Greenhills.

The nearest train station to Greenhills is MRT-3 Santolan-Annapolis Station. Going to Greenhills
by MRT is faster. Just get off the train at Santolan-Annapolis Station, walk a little bit along
southbound lane of EDSA up to Annapolis Street, then ride a jeepney that plies the route of
EDSA Annapolis-Greenhills Shopping Center San Juan and vice versa.

Here's how to get to Greenhills by public transport system from different parts of Metro Manila
including nearby provinces.

Route #1

Roxas Boulevard and near gate of Redemptorist Church, there's bus terminal. You can ride a bus
here or along Roxas Boulevard. Ride a bus with any of these signs: "Monumento Ortigas Ilalim",
"Malanday Ortigas Ilalim" or "Fairview Ortigas Ilalim". Don't ride a bus if it's not passing
through Ortigas Ilalim. Otherwise you will walk too far. Make sure the sign contains Ortigas
Ilalim. If you're in doubt ask the conductor if it will pass through Ortigas Ilalim. Alight at Ortigas
Ilalim where Robinson's Galleria and EDSA Shrine is located.
Use the pedestrian overpass and walk towards opposite side of Ortigas Avenue and ride a
jeepney with "San Juan Unimart Greenhills" sign or bus with "Quiapo San Juan Greenhills" sign.
Any bus or jeepney bound to San Juan or Quiapo passing through Ortigas Avenue will stop by

Option 2. By train. From Baclaran, alight at Pasay Taft Rotonda and ride an MRT-3 train bound

@ mylzie. May mga jeepney po na dumadaan mismo sa kahabaan ng Wilson St from Greenhills
Shopping Center. Punta po kyo sa road sa gilid ng Greenhills Shopping Center kung saan
nagbaba at nagsasakay ang mga shuttle na may nakasulat na "Wilson St" sa gilid. Kung di nyo
mkita, pkitanong sa mga guard. Pagsakay nyo, pkisabi sa driver na ibaba kyo sa destinasyon nyo.
Sana po ay makatulong.

ppntang ortigas area (tycoon center near tektite) san po ako pwd bumaba? Or my ibng route po b
mas madali ppnta sa tektite area coming from tayuman? Thanks po in advance!

Lag alag said...

10 December 2013 at 02:21
@ gryz. Ah Tektite area. Agahan mo na lang po ang alis mo ng Tayuman, then kung RRCG or G
Liner, baba po ikaw ng Robinson's Galleria at sakay po ng jeepney na "Ortigas ComplexRobinson's Galleria" ang nakalagay sa mga gilid. Nung ginawa ko ang post na yun ay may
teminal sila sa gilid ng Galleria along Ortigas Ave. Kung wala k po mkita ay pki-ask sa mga
officers kung saan ang bagong terminal ng mga jeepney na pumapasok sa Ortigas Center. Pag
nakasakay k na po ay saibhin sa driver na ibaba ka sa babaan na mas malapit sa Tektite. Tatawid
ka po nyan at tutumbukin mo ang Tektite. Malaking dalawang building ang Tektite kaya di ka po
maliligaw at kilalang kilala ang building na yun ng mga driver. Sana po ay makatulong ang sagot
ko na to.
