The free shuttle buses for commuters going to Makati City to report for work got even better as the city will be purchasing four more buses to accommodate more.

The shuttle services, which started last March 27, make non-stop trips daily from the boarding area near MRT North Avenue Station in Quezon City to the Makati Stock Exchange Building on Ayala Avenue between 6 a.m. to 9 a.m.
Mayor Jejomar Erwin Binay said:
“Our present fleet of vehicles could only accommodate up to 250 passengers per trip, and the overwhelming response of the public to our program in its initial run has prompted our decision to add more buses, so that more citizens would benefit,” he said.
“We intend to continue offering free shuttle services to Makati workers, especially since traffic along EDSA is expected to get worse because of simultaneous major road infrastructure projects.”
Makati City holds thousands of offices and establishments which employs over four million workers coming from other localities in Metro Manila and adjoining provinces, including Bulacan, Rizal and Cavite.
