The Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX, Tagalog pronunciation: [ˈpitɛks]) is a public transport terminal in Parañaque, Metro Manila, Philippines.[5] PITX is built and operated by Megawide Construction Corporation and the Department of Transportation (DOTr) under the Philippine government's Public-Private Partnership program.[6][7]
It replaced the older Southwest Integrated Transport Terminal (SITT) initially located at the derelict Uniwide Coastal Mall, also in Parañaque,[8] which was transferred to HK Sun Plaza in Pasay as the Southwest Interim Provincial Terminal (SWIPT).[9] It is located on a reclaimed sea area of Manila Bay between Manila–Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX) and Macapagal Boulevard, thus on a reclaimed highway lot.
Opened on November 5, 2018,[10] PITX serves as a hub for buses, jeepneys,[11][12][13] and other public utility vehicles[14] headed for areas north of Metro Manila and areas south of Metro Manila (including Southern Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao), and vice versa. It is projected to accommodate around 200,000 passengers.[15] The terminal is also connected to its namesake station of LRT Line 1.[12]
History
[edit]On February 21, 2011, President Benigno Aquino III signed Executive Order No. 67, which sought for the establishment of integrated transport terminals in the north and south of Metro Manila.[16] This led to the inception of the present-day Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange, which was initially known as the Southwest Integrated Terminal Exchange (SWITEX) during the Aquino administration. It was a public–private partnership (PPP) project that was bid out in 2014, ending up with 15 local bidders.[5] In 2015, the Philippine government signed a 35-year build–operate–transfer (BOT) contract with MWM Terminals Inc., a consortium of Megawide Construction Corporation and WM Properties Inc.[17] Originally scheduled to open in June 2018, its launch was delayed for unknown reasons,[18] finally inaugurating on November 5, 2018, with a ceremony led by President Rodrigo Duterte.[10]
Location
[edit]The Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange is located on a 4.5-hectare (11-acre) site in AsiaWorld, a subdistrict of Bay City in Parañaque,[19] where 2.7-hectare (6.7-acre) is currently used for transport services, commercial spaces, and four office buildings,[20] while the remaining 1.8-hectare (4.4-acre) will serve as part of a ₱5 billion expansion project of the terminal and will be allocated for additional bus services.[4] [21] It is situated near the north end of the Manila–Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX) just off Macapagal Boulevard and a couple of blocks south of NAIA Road adjacent to the former Uniwide Sales Coastal Mall. Nearby landmarks include the Marina Bay Town and the integrated resorts of Entertainment City, including Okada Manila, City of Dreams Manila and Solaire Resort & Casino.
Platforms
[edit]The bus ticketing counters (named Ticket Booth 1 to 6) and boarding gates (named Gates 1 to 8) are located at the terminal's ground and second floor levels, while the arrival bays are only at the second and third gates of the second-floor level.[19]
The modern jeepney ticketing counter, boarding gate, and the arrival bays are all located on the second-floor level. PITX food stalls can be found in both the ground and second levels. For this reason, buses from Ninoy Aquino International Airport arrive at what are called "French Baked" gates. For traditional jeepneys, the loading bays are found on the north side of the terminal and the unloading bays are on the south. The UV Express departure and arrival platforms are all located on the third-floor level. The taxi lane area can be found on the ground floor near the main entrance.[19]
