Launched in March 2015, the Premium Point-to-Point (P2P) Bus Service, formerly known as Express Connect, is an express bus service connecting the suburbs to the central business districts and the international gateways. It initially operated between Quezon City and Ayala Center in Makati, with a third route to SM Mall of Asia along EDSA, Metro Manila's main thoroughfare.[1] By December 2015, a total of twenty buses from Froehlich Tours and HM Transport serviced the routes linking Trinoma and SM City North Edsa in Quezon City with SM Megamall in Mandaluyong and Makati, with only one or two stops in between.[2]
A third P2P service was introduced in April 2016 connecting Glorietta in Makati and Alabang Town Center in Muntinlupa operated by RRCG Transport.[3] As of March 2019, the Department of Transportation's premium P2P bus service runs 31 routes across 52 stops in Metro Manila and nearby suburbs in the Greater Manila Area.[4]
