The Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange, the country’s first landport, said it expanded its operations with the opening of a private car parking facility to encourage private car owners to park their cars and take public transportation from the area.
Operated by the Professional Parking Group, the parking facility at the 3rd level of PITX has 669 parking slots for private cars, motorcycles and UV Express vehicles.
“With the availability of a parking garage at PITX that charges a reasonable parking rate, we hope to encourage those who drive their own vehicles to just leave their car and take the bus or other modes of public transport from PITX to their destination,” said PITX corporate affairs head Jason Salvador.
“This way, we’re not only helping alleviate the traffic situation on Metro Manila, we also lessen our carbon footprint to the benefit of the environment,” he said.
The parking facility targets those who drive to work from the adjacent Cavite and Laguna provinces to business districts in Makati, Taguig, Mandaluyong and Quezon City.
