Getting Around Imus
Jeepneys are the cheapest option but not for luggage – use a tricycle instead from the market to the hotel. Route is 'Imus-Pala-pala', tell the driver 'baba sa SM Imus' then walk 5 minutes.
From NAIA T3, take the free shuttle to PITX, then hop on a jeepney or bus marked 'Baclaran-Imus' or 'PITX-Imus', but check the sign – many buses skip Imus. Get off at the public market, then a short trike ride to Bingoy Abode.
Book through Grab app before leaving the airport – avoid street taxis. Price can surge during peak hours (6-9 AM, 5-8 PM), so book 10 minutes early if you're in a rush.
Use the official airport taxi coupon booth to avoid haggling. If you've got luggage, avoid trikes from the airport – stick to this one ride.
