    Quezon City is easy to travel to once you get to Metro Manila. It's a bustling city, with many people commuting to go here. Some even wake up early in the morning to avoid the unexpected traffic that happens around noon.

    Having a Quezon City map is helpful when commuting in the city. Regardless of your reason for coming, here are some of the public transportation options for you.

    There are two major international airports that service airplanes that land in Metro Manila from abroad. First is Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), which is in the south of Quezon City. Next is Clark International Airport in Pampanga, north of Quezon City.

    From NAIA in Pasay, it takes approximately 45 minutes to 3 hours to go to Quezon City, depending on the traffic. Here are three ways to go to Quezon City:

    By P2P (Point to Point) Bus

    You can take the premium bus that will bring you to the Araneta Center in Quezon City. It's the most convenient way to go to Quezon City, and most P2P buses accept beep cards, the card used for MRT/LRT stations.

    By Taxi

    You can hail a cab from the airport going to Quezon City. Take note that it still depends on traffic conditions, destination, and type of taxi. A quick tip: insist on flagging the meter to get the correct fare. Some taxi drivers often negotiate a fixed price for the ride, which is often more expensive than normal.

    Car Booking Apps

    Use this ride-sharing app called Grab by downloading it on your smartphone. There is also a Grab booth or station at the arrival gate to help you book a ride.

    From Clark, P2P buses come from the Clark airport going to the Trinoma mall in Quezon City.

    From the mall, you can take a taxi or get a Grab car from the Grab station at the mall entrance if you don’t have the ride-sharing app on your smartphone. Clark is about 2-3 hours away from Quezon City.

    From Other Parts of Luzon

    If you’re coming from nearby towns within the Luzon region, there are a lot of options for you to take. Make sure to download or bring a Quezon City map with you just to get confused with the routes.

    By Bus

    You can take any of the provincial buses that travel to Cubao or Quezon Avenue. Fares are cheap, but it still depends on where you’re coming from.

    By Private Car

    If you're looking for convenience, you may opt to rent a private car. There are car rentals available. You can also hire a driver so you can focus on creating the perfect itinerary in Quezon City.

    Getting Around Quezon City

    You will not run out of options when it comes to going around Quezon City. It all depends on how much you’re willing to pay, how far you’re going, and how comfortable you want to be while traveling.

    It can get very humid, especially during the summer months of March-May, so consider that when choosing how you’ll explore the many exciting things to find in QC.

    By MRT (Metro Rail Train)

    The MRT connects to two railway stations within Metro Manila, MRT-2 and MRT-3. It’s more cheap and convenient and is one of your best options to avoid road traffic. But note that these trains can get very crowded, especially during rush hours.

    By Public Bus

    These are available along Quezon Ave and EDSA. You can either take a non-airconditioned bus or an air-conditioned bus. It still depends on the route you’ll be undertaking, and some coaches might not have enough seats to accommodate you and your group.

    By Jeepney​

    You’ll find colorful jeepneys on most main roads; they’re not called “king of the road” for nothing! Make sure to pay the exact fare or a smaller bill so that the driver won’t get inconvenient in finding change for your money, especially during mornings.

    By Tricycle

    You’ll find these in nearby villages or residential areas. It’s perfect for traveling short distances only or within the same area. It's the mode of transportation you have to take when you’re eager to explore inner neighborhoods and towns in Quezon City.

    By Taxi

    These are at various metro points, and many are lined up at the nearby mall entrances. The fare depends on your destination, but it’s usually cheaper than the rates in car-booking apps.
