If you live anywhere in Laguna, you probably understand how difficult it can be to commute to the airport. Before the advent of ride-hailing services south of the metro, getting to any of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) terminals would require hiring a car and/or a driver.
If you reside near Nuvali, however, here’s some good news: UBE Express buses going from Nuvali to NAIA and back are now available.
Three trips bound for NAIA and another three bound for Nuvali are available daily. Nuvali to NAIA trips are scheduled at 6am, 10am, and 4pm, while NAIA to Nuvali trips are at 4am, 8am, and 2pm. Standard fare is P300. Students and senior citizens get a 20% discount (P60).

Each bus has a 22-passenger seating capacity and will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Seat reservations via a QR code (see below) are available. The trips are limited for now, perhaps to determine the actual demand for this new route.
Previously, these airport buses in Laguna were only available at Robinsons Santa Rosa. For residents of Nuvali and nearby areas, that side of the city is difficult to get to via public transport. This is why the new UBE Express routes from Nuvali will come in very handy despite the limited number of trips per day. Ask me how I know.
