Here's an updated and complete guide for BGC Bus.
Bonifacio Global City (BGC), a prominent financial and lifestyle hub within Metro Manila, boasts its own well-structured public transportation network, offering commuters a convenient and systematic means of traversing the district.
This system, while not as extensive as the bus networks in cities like Singapore and Hong Kong, stands in stark contrast to the disorderly bus operations along EDSA.
About BGC Bus
Bonifacio Transport Corp., frequently recognized as BGC Bus and previously referred to as The Fort Bus, functions as an intercity bus enterprise within Metro Manila, Philippines. It operates under the umbrella of the Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation (FBDC), an affiliated entity of Ayala Corporation. Ayala Corporation, a colossal conglomerate, holds its origins in the Spanish era and ranks among the most extensive business entities.
Where to Find BGC Bus Terminal
The BGC Bus Terminal is actually divided into two separate locations:
The first BGC Bus Terminal, referred to as the EDSA Ayala Station Terminal, is positioned at the intersection of EDSA and McKinley Road within Makati City. This terminal is conveniently reachable via the MRT-3 system, with the Ayala Station situated just a brief stroll away.

Situated on the ground level outside the McKinley Exchange Corporate Center (the edifice housing Telus), this terminal is adjacent to Forbes Park. Notably, a Shell gas station and the stairway leading to the northbound exit of the MRT Ayala Station are also in close proximity.
The other terminal is situated at the rear of Ayala Malls Market! Market!, oriented toward the C-5 road.

Upon boarding the bus, a simple action is required: just tap your card on the reader located near the driver. This eliminates the need to rummage for loose change in your wallet.
Where to Get a Beep Card
To obtain a Beep card or add credit to your existing one, you have a variety of options. These encompass the BGC Bus Terminals situated at EDSA Ayala and Market! Market!, as well as a multitude of locations like MRT and LRT stations, Bayad Center outlets, SM Department Store, Hypermarket, Savemore, and more.
EDSA Ayala Terminal Beep Booth
As you approach from EDSA, the payment booth is situated on the left-hand side.
Upon acquiring your ticket, proceed to the entrance featuring the Beep card scanner. An attendant will be on hand to gather your ticket.

Market! Market! Beep Booth
When facing the C-5 road, you'll discover the booth to your right. It's conveniently located across from an Uncle John’s convenience store.
