Ninoy Aquino International Airport to Manila

UBE Express – Makati Route

Point-to-point airport bus from all NAIA terminals to Makati (Century City Mall/Ayala Center area), serving central business district hotels and malls. Services operate a few times per day with fixed departures; check latest schedule as buses do not run every hour, especially on weekends.

NAIA Airport Loop / Nichols–MRT Taft jeepney-bus corridor

Local jeepneys and buses from outside NAIA Terminal 3 via Andrews Avenue connect to Pasay Rotonda / EDSA-Taft, where you can transfer to MRT-3 northbound for Makati (Ayala, Buendia). Services are frequent but can be crowded and do not have dedicated luggage space.

MRT-3 (Taft Avenue – Ayala)

From Taft Avenue MRT station (near Pasay Rotonda and NAIA bus/jeepney stops), trains run frequently along EDSA to Ayala and other Makati CBD stations. Expect heavy crowding at peak hours and occasional service disruptions.

City Buses NAIA–EDSA Corridor (LTFRB franchised)

Several regular city bus routes operate between NAIA/Andrews Avenue and EDSA Taft–Makati corridor under LTFRB franchises. These are cheap but mainly designed for commuters; board only marked city buses and confirm destination (EDSA/Makati) with staff.

Airport Metered Taxi / Coupon Taxi

Official metered and coupon taxis are available at all terminals for direct travel to Makati CBD in 20–60 minutes depending on traffic. Use only authorized airport taxi ranks and expect higher fares during congestion.
