The Makati City is one of the places that every professional, especially the yuppies, are dreaming to have their work in. Do you look forward into seeing yourself wearing a corporate attire and entering one of the towering buildings in Makati CBD? Before that happens, make sure that you know certain things about the city. This way, when the time comes that you will be venturing into the corporate world of this Makati, you won’t look like a country mouse lost in the city. Just so you have an idea, here are some of the tips that you shouldn’t forget:

There are designated PUV and PUJ stops along Ayala Avenue – If you are traveling via these utility vehicles, make sure that you take note of the stops in the long avenue of Ayala. The stops are alternating. Once the vehicle passed on the loading station, the unloading station would surely be on the next street. Let this be a reminder to you, Makati CBD is not like any other cities where you can slip through the rules. If you have to get off the bus along a loading stop, there is NO way that you can get off that vehicle so might as well be aware of where the vehicle is passing.

Underpasses are provided on every stop or street – This is one of the best things that you will surely like about Makati CBD. You can always cross the road without feeling worried of getting hit by passing vehicles. However, if you’re the type of person who got accustomed of “swimming against the current” like when you cross the roads in Cubao, be prepared to get a ticket from a traffic personnel. Whether you’re a woman dressed in nice business getup or a guy looking decent in your suit, there won’t be any mercy once you’re caught jaywalking.

Malls are interlinked – If you think that people working in Makati all belong in the upscale society, you’re wrong. Like you, a lot of people here are working for the money. If you will notice in rush hours, more people prefer walking to either the MRT station or bus stops because every peso counts. If you prefer saving your few pesos, don’t worry because there are easy routes that you can access. The malls in Makati CBD are interlinked so all you have to do is pass on footbridges along Dela Rosa Street and you can get to Greenbelt, Landmark, Glorietta and SM Makati easily.

Reading this will make you equipped with your Makati adventure. But do you know that secret in getting used in a city? It’s confidence. You just have to believe in yourself and forget about your inhibitions.
