Free Shuttle to Entertainment District Circuit Makati Offered to the Pub

Circuit Makati offers a more convenient way of discovering the city’s newest entertainment district via its free shuttle service. Covered in graphic novel-like designs, the coasters will be hard to miss as it travels along its set route.



The shuttle takes riders to Circuit Makati from several pick-up points within the Ayala Center and Makati CBD. The service runs Mondays to Fridays from 4 to 8 pm. and starts its journey from the main station at the Hotel Intercon open car park (near the Ayala MRT station). Going to Circuit Makati, the shuttle also fetches passengers from the loading areas near Ayala Triangle Gardens, Smart Tower, and Zuellig Loop, Circuit Makati’s transport terminal, and Circuit Lane. Conversely, from Circuit Makati passengers are dropped-off near Glorietta and the BPI Head Office, before heading back to the main station.

“This is one of the ways we are linking passengers to new developments in the city, and it is part of our objective to provide convenience to those who want to explore the different offerings of Circuit Makati,” said Manny Blas, Ayala Land Inc. Vice President and Project Development Head for Makati. Circuit Makati, one of the six nodes included in the 125-billion over-all plan for the city’s revitalization, showcases some of the most exciting entertainment venues, such as Globe Circuit Events Ground –home to various music festivals all year round—and several outdoor facilities such as the Gatorade Chelsea Blue Pitch, the Mountain Dew Skate Park and City Kart Racing.

Recently, the two-storey Circuit Lane opened featuring new initial offerings such as dining outlets Torch, Backyard, and Steveston Pizza, as well as a Power Mac Center and Nike store. Slated to open this October are Miracle Art, Palm Corned Beef Corner and Seafood Island. The retail strip is likewise home to Power Mac Center Spotlight, a 300-seater black box theater that is currently showing #NoFilter 2.0 by Sandbox Collective and will be showcasing Maria Isabella by Bit by Bit Productions in December.

The free shuttle ride aims to provide the public easier access to the trendiest shows and the hippest entertainment places that Circuit Makati has to offer. For more information, visit www.makeitmakati.com/circuit-makati.
