Even if there's a priority lane in MRT, I still find it hard to commute via train with my nephew because of a lot of people. Can you suggest a better means of transportation from Makati going to Cubao?

You can download the app Grab in I-Tunes for Iphone or Play store for Android. The price is already in a fixed rate no matter how traffic it can be. Just make sure to be considerate to the driver especially if they are nice to you. A small amount of tip can go a long way for them. Good luck & Stay safe! :)
