The Philippines' first integrated terminal is now open to service routes between Metro Manila and nearby provinces.
Offering a “safer, state-of-the-art, and convenient terminal experience,” through a public-private partnership, the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange or PITX would also connect people and places closer together. Well, the passengers from Cavite to inner Metro Manila, at least, with the initial project.

The multimodal transport selection (e.g. jeepney, bus, taxi, UV Express, point-to-point, and soon, light rail transit) could also definitely broaden one’s commute options and put money back in the wallet—opening wider travel opportunities for the masses.

ABOUT PITX
The Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITx), formerly called Southwest Integrated Transport System (SWITS), is a public transport terminal in Parañaque, Metro Manila, Philippines.
 |
| PITX Building Exterior |
PITx is built and operated by Megawide Construction Corporation and the Department of Transportation (DOTr) under the Philippine government's Public-Private Partnership program.
It replaced the older Southwest Integrated Transport Terminal (SITT) initially located at the derelict Uniwide Coastal Mall, which was transferred to HK Plaza in Bay City, Pasay as the Southwest Interim Provincial Terminal (SWIPTS).
HOW TO GET TO PITX
As its name implies, the PITX is located in Parañaque City. The terminal is accessible via the Diosdado Macapagal Boulevard or the Coastal Road. |

Commuting to the terminal, however, has been made more convenient by the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board, through Memorandum Circular 2018-20 dated Sept. 13, 2018, which explicitly orders all city buses, UV express service and jeepneys, whose endpoints are Baclaran and the Mall of Asia, to extend and facilitate the transfer of passengers to PITX.
Similarly, the board said that, “All provincial public utility buses, UV Express service and public utility jeepneys originating from provinces southwest of Metro Manila entering via Coastal Road and Manila Cavite Expressway shall end their routes at the Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX) in Coastal Road Parañaque from the date PITX is fully operational.”
