Recently, I’ve been having some problems on how would I be able to reach Katipunan Ave in Quezon City. I accepted a video-editing job in Ateneo and it will take me few days of going to and from that place. But the only way I know to get there is by cab, and doing that almost everyday will give me a big slash on my budget (not advisable). That is why I need some alternatives.
Living in North EDSA, Quezon City, I know there’s some other ways to access Katipunan. (Check out the Ways to go to Katipunan Avenue).
One time, on my search of finding the best way to go to Katipunan avenue, I discovered this new vehicle ride called COMET (standing for City Optimized Managed Electric Transport). (sorry for the low quality photos)
Produced by Global Electric Transport (GET) COMET is manufactured in Carmona.
COMET, your best way ride to Ateneo/Katipunan Avenue
COMET is a better and cleaner alternative to Jeepneys, it is fully electric vehicle powered by a lithium-ion battery that can run up to 60kph. Aside from paying cash to your driver, COMET uses TITO (Tap-In, Tap-Out) system, a cashless fare system that uses the GET Pass to ensure accurate and secure fare collection. The GET Pass is available at the terminal or from GET Pass agents.
The reloadable GET Pass will cost you an initial 20 pesos to buy, plus an amount of 20 pesos or more for the initial fare. The GET Pass can also be registered in your name to protect the balance in case the card gets lost or stolen.
Theres a TV inside by the way. It shows different ads, next stop as well as the number of people inside the COMET
You can catch the COMET at the SM North EDSA Terminal across The Block. Heres the route on south bound:
Road 3, Congressional Avenue corner Mindanao Avenue, Northbridge Plaza, Congressional Avenue corner Visayas, Congressional Avenue corner Tandang Sora Avenue, UP Professors Subdivision, Tierra Pura, Talipapa, Capitol Hills Drive, Magsaysay Avenue / U.P. GT-Toyota Gate, Quirino Avenue / U.P. Narra Gate, J.Escaler Street / Elizabeth Hall Building, Loyola Heights Brgy. Hall / Regis Building, Ateneo Gate 2 Overpass and the final stop at LRT Katipunan / Katipunan Terminal.
In the north bound direction:
LRT Katipunan / Katipunan Terminal and then goes via stops at Ateneo Gate 2 Overpass, Miriam College, UP Town Center, Balara Jeepney Station / LWUA, MWSS (Maynilad Water), Capitol Hills Drive, Talipapa, Mira Nilla Subdivision, Tierra Verde, Congressional Avenue corner Visayas, Circle C/Cherry Fooderama, Puregold Mindanao Avenue / BJMP and Road 16, before arriving back at SM North EDSA Terminal.
