If you're coming from Landmark, this is where things get tricky. If you can find a Makati Loop jeepney, then you're in luck. Since the Makati Loop jeepney is rare depending on the time of day, you'll have to improvise if you want to traverse Makati Avenue (northbound -- from Landmark to Buendia) via jeepney.

Jeepney Route: Ayala (south) - Pateros (north)

Don't be afraid of the Pateros sign. The Ayala-Pateros jeep traverses the length of Makati Avenue from Paseo de Roxas and Pasay Road (near Landmark).

Luckily, the length of Makati Avenue from Paseo de Roxas to Buendia is only around 400 - 500 meters so you can easily walk to your destination.

• Between Ayala Avenue and Makati Avenue, near the Ayala Triangle Park (approx: 500 meters).
• Between Ayala Avenue and Pasay Road, southbound from Ayala to Pasay Road (approx: 1 kilometer).
• Between Ayala Avenue and Pasay Road, northbound when there is no Ayala Loop jeepney (approx: 1 kilometer).

The Makati Green Route (MGR)

Before, the only way to reach Salcedo and Legaspi Village was to walk. Luckily, in 2007 the Makati Government has deployed a new breed of jeepneys to cater to this problem. This was the birth of of the Makati Green Route.

You can check out the route of the Legaspi e-jeepand the Salcedo E-Jeep to see which places the e-jeepney passes through.
