How to get to SM Ecoland when you are from Mintal



1. Get to the National Highway (Davao-Bukidnon Road). These means that if you are staying in a minor road, you have to walk/ ride a habal-habal/sidecar (motorcycle with a side extension) to get to the main highway.
2. You can choose the following PUVs in getting to SM Ecoland:

a. Jeep- these vehicles are common in these areas. But one thing I observed in riding such vehicle is that young drivers tend to make the accomodate the super maximum seating capacity and rush like an airplane to SM. On the other hand, oldies goodies drivers take a slowly but surely driving to the mall. When you're in a hurry, choose jeepney drivers wisely. The fare would cost you 18php and 17php for students.

b. L300- these vehicles are the fast PUVs in the area. It is wise if you catch these vehicles because all L300s are air-conditioned. It won't hassle your beauty in getting to the mall. The fare would be  20php for all passengers. However, due to its demand in the society, it takes patience to wait for this. Do not ride the L300 with a "Hop-on, Hop-off" title because it does not go to SM Ecoland.

c. Annil Bus- this bus is based in Calinan and they have a terminal in Bankerohan. This vehicle is also air-conditioned and they offer a number of seats for commuters.

d. Rural Tours Bus- this bus comes from Cagayan and passes through Bukidnon to Calinan etc. Rural Tours Bus (Non-air) can also take you to SM Ecoland.

SM Ecoland Davao Commute

SM Ecoland is one of the landmarks here in Davao City. Architecturally speaking, you will know a mall because of its landscape and facade. So do not worry dear reader, take the guts to ask questions and follow directions. I would be happy to help you out through this blog! (By the way, you can always choose to ride a taxi when you're in a hurry) From Mintal: Just a jeep away! Ride a jeep with SM Ecoland and you're ready to go. The trip usually takes 40- 50mins (traffic jam included). From Toril: The jeep with Roxas route can pass through SM Ecoland but it would really take time. However, if you're in a hurry, drop to Matina Centerpoint Mall and ride a jeep that has SM Ecoland- by doing this you'll cut off your time by at least 30mins. From Uyanguren: There are jeeps available with SM Ecoland especially in front of NCCC Uyanguren.
