Fastest Route from BGC to Greenhills

[_Cathy_]

My friend says EDSA is faster but another friend thinks otherwise. We'll be taking different routes and our group would like to arrive first (competitive lol)

The route that I normally take going to Greenhills is Makati Mandaluyong Bridge then Shaw. If we go by my route, coming from BGC we would have to take: Buendia Flyover - Jupiter - P Burgos - Makati Ave - Makati Mandaluyong Bridge - Shaw. We have no idea on how Northbound traffic is around 7 pm.

Gate 1 > JP Rizal > EDSA
Gate 1 > JP Rizal > Estrella Bridge or Makati/Mandaluyong Bridge

EDSA all the way is less stressful as long as you stick to the leftmost lane.

Where is gate 1?

[lowslowbenz]

Avoid P Burgos at all costs. Grabe ang traffic dyan, 100% sure. And the surrounding areas too, JP Rizal, side streets, etc. There's a street reblocking and drainage repair at the corner of JP Rizal and Makati ave, bottleneck scenario.

Meron ka Waze di ba? Check mo, sigurado pula lahat ang area ng P Burgos.

You'd be much safer taking EDSA all the way.

oh it looks like my friend was right all along re EDSA as the better route. So how do I go to Wilson from EDSA? sa LSGH flyover na or should I take Pioneer?

[lowslowbenz]

LSGH flyover ka na. Pioneer area marami one way ek-ek dyan, mapapalayo ka pa.

Where is gate 1?

The road going to Makati City Jail behind Home Depot. They're planning to put a bridge from there to Kapitolyo.

7pm? Edsa? goodluck.. parang parking lot yan..

I suggest you take Rockwell, then the new bridge to Barangka Mandaluyong.. then cross Boni, turn right at Nueve to Mental.. then labas ka shaw blvd and take Mabini (before Shell) to Wilson then Greenhills..

I thoughr Makati City Jail is beside city hall?

I like that plan. Medyo malayo atang bridge yan? Hehe

Nope. It's just outside the walls of BGC. Choke points dyan are Lawton cor Kalayaan and Guadalupe due to the jeeps. Pero it's faster than exiting to EDSA under the Buendia flyover especially after 5pm.

How do I get to EDSA northbound then coming from 5th ave?

diretso ka lang ng 5th ave until nasa left mo na st. lukes and right ang S&R. tapos right ka sa pinakadulo. then left ka after Lexus. dirediretso na yan sa lawton (crossing kalayaan). tapos left ka sa JP Rizal. dirediretso lang then left ka na paakyat ng EDSA (clover leaf ng Guadalupe).

Since my daily route is Makati to Shaw, I try both the Makati/Mandaluyong Bridge and EDSA routes alternately.

My take is, kung may kausap ka naman, just take EDSA. Less stressful as you're just gonna go on a straight line until Ortigas flyover. It takes roughly the same time as squeezing through the side roads. At 7pm kasi, pareho nang puno so no benefit to take side streets na.

+1 on this

at 7pm every road is a parking lot, EDSA ka na lang baon ka na lang ng extrang pasensiya.

Akala ko kasi clear yung Makati Mandaluyong route around that time.

So we can't make it to Greenhills in 30 mins?

No.

Unless its some unholy hour on a weekend.
