Thankfully, transportation hubs across the country not only move commuters with ease but also offer comfort, convenience, and a touch of leisure along the way. Here are some of the nation’s most prominent transport hubs.

One Ayala

Makati City

Described as a “dynamic retail experience set in a world-class transit hub,” One Ayala acts not only as a convenient gateway to cities in Metro Manila and beyond but also as a hub for rest and recreation.

Offering a multitude of transport options from public utility vehicles (PUVs) to point-to-point (P2P) buses, this PWD-friendly hub connects Makati to locations like Fairview, Antipolo, Biñan, and Las Piñas. With trips running from early morning until late at night, commuters can count on flexible schedules to plan their journeys with ease.

At the same time, One Ayala also gives passengers plenty of ways to pass the time. You can grab a quick bite at the food stalls, enjoy some coffee, tick off errands at Robinsons Supermarket or Lawson, or simply step into the mall just a few steps away.

Arcovia City Transport Hub

Pasig City

Since opening in 2022, the Arcovia City Transport Hub has served commuters and passengers from the eastern side of the Greater Manila area, providing a convenient, accessible, and safe facility for PUVs and alternative active transport modes.

Located within Megaworld’s mixed-use development, this relatively new terminal hub doesn’t skimp on transport options. It hosts a wide range of provincial buses, with routes stretching from Arcovia City to the Bicol Region, including Albay, Masbate, Catanduanes, and Sorsogon. Modern PUVs also serve routes to Robinsons Ortigas via Doña Vargas.

While waiting, passengers can rest comfortably in the terminal’s sheds, equipped with wide seating, and enjoy some snacks from the food kiosks or the restaurants nearby.

Nuvali Transport Terminal

Laguna

Straddling the cities of Sta. Rosa, Cabuyao, and Calamba in Laguna, Ayala Land’s Nuvali estate is a 2,500-ha mixed use development that houses a wide variety of residential communities, business spaces, and commercial centers. But more than being the country’s first and largest eco-city development, it is also home to the Nuvali Transport Terminal.

Operating Mondays through Fridays, P2P buses run from early morning until late at night, serving both northbound and southbound routes. On Saturdays, trips are also available to the Makati central business district and One Ayala Terminal.

Like other major hubs, the terminal features covered waiting areas that shield passengers from the sun and keep them dry during sudden rainshowers.

Robinsons Pavia Terminal

Pavia, Iloilo

The Robinsons brand has long been a household name for malls across the country. In Pavia, Iloilo, it goes a step further, offering not just the usual leisure amenities and comfortable spaces, but also a transport hub.

Conveniently located within the Robinsons complex, the Pavia Transport Terminal offers seamless access to Central Iloilo and beyond. Its prime spot along Vice President Fernando Lopez Avenue in Barangay Ungka makes it a key gateway for travel across the province.

The terminal serves a wide range of commuters with transport options that include regular and mini buses, jeepneys, vans, and taxis. It connects not only to Iloilo City and Central Panay, but also to out-of-town destinations like Maasin, Lambunao, and Calinog.

Travelers don’t have to wait on an empty stomach either. Food kiosks in the terminal offer affordable snacks for commuters and drivers on pause, while Robinsons Pavia Mall is just a few steps away.

Davao City Overland Transport Terminal

Davao City

Mindanao’s “King City of the South” is considered as a major transport hub in itself, serving as a gateway to Davao Region and other parts of the island. But Davao City also has its own major transport terminal: Davao City Overland Transport Terminal (DCOTT).

This hub serves as a vital gateway, linking Davao City to destinations across Mindanao and beyond. It accommodates an average of 700 to 800 bus trips daily under normal conditions, based on staff reports as of April 2025. To uphold passenger safety, it enforces stringent security protocols, including the use of two advanced baggage X-ray machines.
