It replaced the older Southwest Integrated Transport Terminal (SITT) initially located at the derelict Uniwide Coastal Mall,[8] which was transferred to HK Sun Plaza in Bay City, Pasay as the Southwest Interim Provincial Terminal (SWIPTS).[9] It is located on a reclaimed sea area of Manila Bay between Roxas Boulevard and Macapagal Boulevard (reclaimed lot highway).
Opened on November 5, 2018,[10] PITX serves as a hub for buses, jeepneys,[11][12][13] and other public utility vehicles[14] headed for areas north of Metro Manila and areas south of Metro Manila (including Southern Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao), and vice versa. It is projected to accommodate around 200,000 passengers.[15] The terminal is also planned to connect with the Asia World station of the proposed Line 1 Cavite extension.[12]
