What Wikivoyage says about moving around
  • Get inThe terminals themselves are only used for southbound buses, and northbound, buses stop at the Flying V gas station across the highway from the JAM bus terminal If getting down directly at the city proper, around the Calamba Crossing: From Manila, there are both traditional and modern jeepneys from Alabang in Muntinlupa, most taking the South Luzon Expressway but others take the older National Hwy.
  • Get inThe jeepneys taking the National Hwy may not necessarily travel up to Calamba requiring you to change jeepneys and the journey is rather slow, so ride the modern jeepney or a bus that takes the expressway to Calamba.
  • Get inThere are also jeepneys from Lipa, San Pedro, Santa Rosa, Santa Cruz and San Pablo.
  • Get aroundJeepneys serve most areas along the Maharlika Hwy and National Hwy, including Crossing and Pansol.
  • Get aroundThere are also jeepneys to Canlubang, but are impractical for travel to Nuvali.
