Need to fly via Clark International Airport (CRK) from the southern part of Metro Manila? There’s now a direct bus linking Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX) and CRK.
On March 17, 2026, Genesis Transportation Service (GTSI) began operating daily deluxe bus trips between PITX and Clark, passing NAIA Terminal 3 and SM City Clark, and offering passengers a seamless ground transport solution.
The route was officially launched with an inaugural trip from PITX on March 16. Transport officials gathered at PITX for a ribbon-cutting ceremony before embarking on the maiden voyage to Central Luzon.
The move is seen as a practical, convenient, and economical move for locals and tourists headed to Central Luzon. The new bus service comes as CRK continues to expand its domestic and international network, with passenger traffic expected to increase by 15% compared to last year.
Various turboprop operations and flights to island destinations like El Nido, Coron (Busuanga), Siargao, Naga, and other regional destinations are being transferred from Manila to Clark as a way to ease Manila congestion.
“This new service is a testament to our promised accessibility, convenience, and seamless travel for our passengers,” said Noel Manankil, president and CEO of Luzon International Premiere Airport Development (LIPAD), which manages CRK operations. “By bridging the distance between Southern Metro Manila and Clark, Genesis Transport is helping us bring the airport closer to the people, ensuring that every journey begins and ends with ease and comfort.
“This initiative is another step towards making Clark International Airport not only a hub for flights but also a hub for innovation, collaboration, and progress.”
Here’s what passengers need to know about the PITX-CRK P2P bus route, including frequency of trips, schedules, fares, and more.
