The way we live, work, and move around Metro Manila is changing, and at the center of this shift is the need for better accessibility. Great communities thrive on seamless mobility, where well-planned infrastructure enhances convenience, drives economic growth, and improves the overall quality of life.
The Taguig City Integrated Terminal Exchange (TCITX) is set to reshape mobility in Metro Manila, bringing the city closer to a more connected future. Its groundbreaking marks the beginning of a major transit hub in Arca South Estate. This five-hectare transport hub will link passengers to key transit systems, including the North-South Commuter Railway (NSCR), and the Metro Manila Subway Project (MMSP), making it a vital component of the region’s urban network. The estate’s connectivity to the Southeast Metro Manila Expressway (SEMME) or Skyway Stage 4 further cements its role as a major transport hub, seamlessly integrating subway, railway, bus, and jeepney AUV terminals.
The integration of TCITX and SEMME into Arca South Estate is a collaborative effort between Ayala Land and key government agencies, including the Department of Transportation (DOTr), the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), the Department of National Defense (DND), the Veterans Federation of the Philippines (VFP), the Toll Regulatory Board (TRB), and San Miguel Corporation. As part of the government’s "Build Better More" initiative, these projects, led by DOTr Secretary Jaime J. Bautista, aim to transform the country’s transportation landscape through strong public-private partnerships.
“Today, we go back to its roots as a gateway connecting Metro Manila to the provinces, but this time, not just for food—but for people, commerce, and ideas. Together, we are building more than just infrastructure—we are creating opportunities, enhancing lives, and making everyday experiences better. We are building a better future for Filipinos,” said Ayala Land President and CEO Meean B. Dy, during the TCITX groundbreaking ceremony in Arca South, Taguig City.
The TCITX is expected to be fully operational by 2028, with the capacity to accommodate 160,000 passengers and 5,200 vehicles daily, ensuring a smooth and efficient commuting experience.
