Ok sana sa starmal, kasi dun na din yung sakayang ng bus/van but I am not so sure if its safe there.

Thanks for the input guys.

Safe naman sa starmall dun ka lang mag park malapit sa guard.

Cuz since malls are own by private companies Wala sila pakialam Basta magbayad kayo ng parking fee Kung magcommute kayo or anong gawin niyo Wala sila pakialam am, but if LGU will have a program na low rate parking for residents Sa mga malls office hours Lang ha then mas marami mat commute siguro...anyway most malls naman eh Meron ng structures for terminal or something

With the advent of many malls, one thing expected is that a lot stores don't get to pay their rent on time. Instead of evicting them, malls will go for extended/delayed payment terms as less stalls would equate to less people traffic. What then is the cash cow of the mall operator? Parking.

That's the lack of long term planning. We keep pushing for mass transport infrastructure (i.e. MRT/LRT) but there's no parking designated in a lot of these places save for the mall. Metro Manila and Greater Manila is one web of roads so people will still want to take their cars to get to the transport point if possible so as to avoid the tricycle and jeepney ride.

*TS, try also checking out places like SM Las Pinas i guess. If you park at a place, pili ka nalang ng pwesto na malapit sa sekyu or CCTV if there's any. Yung officemate namin sa Carmona, nag kontra nga ng trike to take them daily at a specified time to the sakayan and pick-up pag tinext nila yung driver. They also have a car but due to the toll fees, they only bring it to work when needed. Isipin mo, P 300 daily for toll fees. To think on NLEX, we spend around P133 from Manila to San Simon exit which is significantly further.

One of our friends park his car on weekdays in Metropolis, Alabang (umaga and then, babalikan sa hapon/gabi)...

Wala naman siyang kuwento na nangyari sa sasakyan niya....

My sentiments exactly. Alam ko nga mas mura toll sa nlex, we notice when we visit our folks in Bulacan (we are originally from Bulacan). I can live with 70 pesos before the increase, but 154 is just too much, the price difference translates to ~4100 pesos in a month, 49000 in a year (whew!).

Salamat sa lahat ng suggestions, the sm bicutan route is what I will try first. But please, if you know any more alternative please suggest. One less car sa metro manila if this works

*Bin Diesel, try ko din minsan sa starmall. I've been there not more than 3 times and I find the place a bit scary
