Getting to Tandang Sora from Quirino Ave Quickly

Trike queue along Road 20 near McDonald's and Short Horn.
It takes only 2 tricycle rides to get to Tandang Sora from Quirino Avenue. Then, from Tandang Sora, it's easy traveling to UP Diliman, Fairview, or C5 to the south. Imagine bypassing traffic along EDSA in Balintawak and Munoz! And that's only for P50 for the two trips. If you have a car, it's only about 10 to 15 minutes. While trekking through EDSA past Balintawak and Munoz may take you almost 2 hours getting to UP Diliman or Fairview. Even worse if you commute. See why I love Project 8?

Moreover, you suffer less air pollution, noise, and unruly crowds. Trike drivers are mostly friendly and townsfolk in Project 8 are mostly helpful, if you ever get lost. Then there are alternative routes for emergencies. If you should get stuck for hours at Short Horn corner Road 20 [which is unlikely], you can always take a jeep to Munoz. Or else, take a jeep to General Avenue and get off at Tandang Sora, the last public jeep destination anyway. Better yet, just get off and walk to cross Short Horn and just take a trike ride to Tandang Sora or Mindanao Avenue.

I usually took a bus along EDSA going to Camachile to reach Baesa, and that took me about 30 minutes or more plus traffic and the discomfort of having to wait for a bus and probably stand up in it when all seats are taken. But when I discovered the route via Road 20, it was a big wonder. From our street corner, all I needed to do was take one trike ride to Quirino Avenue and end up in Baesa at once. How long did that take? About 3 to 4 minutes of sitting comfortably in the trike--no standing room--and no waiting for a long period for a bus.

That's why I love Project 8.

    hi Justin. From Balon-bato area, sakay ka ng jeep papuntang Novaliches pero bumaba ka sa Mercury Drug sa Mendez. Take a trike from there going to Road 20. Thanks!

      Suggestion ko, mag trike ka from Mercury Drug Mendez Road to Shorthorn Project8, tapos from Shorthorn to Mindanao Avenue. Sa Mindanao ride an FX to SM North, tapos sa SM sakay ka ng SM Fairview. Dadaan ng Agham yun, less traffic. Medyo magastos nga lang. Pero mga isang oras nalang biyahe mo dyan, more or less.

      Pwede din sa Mindanao tapos Sauyo Road. Labas ka ng Do Julio Gregorio, Republic Avenue, Chestnut Road, tapos Dahlia Avenue tapos FEU na yun to Regalado, Fairview. Kaya lang pwede lang yan pag me kotse ka.
