"MRT and LRT" Makati Transportation Tip by JaneCajuguiran

Makati Transportation: 24 reviews and 33 photos

Makati can be reached through different routes and via different transportation. However, I find that the fastest and probably the cheapest way to get there is via the two trains - the MRT and LRT. MRT plies the EDSA (Quezon city, Ortigas, Pasay, Pasig) and you can get down at either the buendia or ayala stations. However if you are going to the Makati Business district, it may be more convenient for you to get off at the Ayala Station instead.

If you are coming from Quiapo, Lawton, Taft, United Nations, Ermita, or Pasay, you can take the LRT. you can get down at the Gil Puyat/Buendia Station. This train however is the oldest among the three trains that Manila has and therefore is not so nice anymore. Plus there are a lot of people taking this train. If you are a woman or if you are with a child, you should stay at the first section since this is reserved for women and children and the elderly.

Fare is less than 20 pesos from any point.
