The Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX, Tagalog pronunciation: [ˈpitɛks]), formerly called Southwest Integrated Transport System (SWITS), is a public transport terminal in Parañaque, Metro Manila, Philippines.[3] PITX is built and operated by Megawide Construction Corporation and the Department of Transportation (DOTr) under the Philippine government's Public-Private Partnership program.[4][5]
It replaced the older Southwest Integrated Transport Terminal (SITT) initially located at the derelict Uniwide Coastal Mall,[6] which was transferred to HK Sun Plaza in Bay City, Pasay as the Southwest Interim Provincial Terminal (SWIPTS).[7]
Opened on November 5, 2018,[8][9] PITX serves as a hub for buses, jeepneys,[10][11][12] and other public utility vehicles[13] headed for areas south of Metro Manila, including the provinces of Cavite and Batangas, and vice versa. It is projected to accommodate around 200,000 passengers.[14] The terminal is also planned to connect with the Asia World station of the proposed Line 1 Cavite extension.[11]
Location
The Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange is located on a 4.5-hectare (11-acre) site in AsiaWorld, a subdistrict of Bay City in Tambo, Parañaque.[15] 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
The bus ticketing counters and boarding gates are located at the terminal's ground floor and second-floor levels, while the arrival bays are only at the second and third gate of the second-floor level.[15] The modern jeepney ticketing counter, boarding gate, and the arrival bays are all located on the second-floor level. 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.[15]
