Developed through a partnership among Robinsons Malls, the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), and the City of Sta. Rosa, the lounge offers a secure and relaxing environment for passengers en route to Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminals 1, 2, and 3.
Strategically located at the mall’s carpark, the facility provides seamless access to shopping, dining, and other pre-travel essentials. The lounge is designed especially for Laguna’s workforce and Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), providing them a hassle-free pre-flight stop.
This modern lounge—the first of its kind in the country—caters to the increasing number of passengers from Laguna and nearby provinces. Plans are also underway to expand routes from Robinsons Sta. Rosa to Lucena, Quezon and Lipa, Batangas.
The fully air-conditioned lounge accommodates up to 40 passengers and operates daily from 4 a.m. to 10 p.m. Amenities include free Wi-Fi, charging stations, and comfortable seating.
UBE Express runs 16 daily trips from Robinsons Sta. Rosa to NAIA starting at 5 a.m., and 16 return trips from NAIA Terminal 3 beginning at 3:30 a.m., offering 32 trips daily. Each ride is ₱300, with a 20-percent discount for seniors, PWDs, and students.
Travelers ride in 12-meter low-floor buses with spacious seating for 35 and generous legroom, making the about 75-minute trip both accessible and relaxing. — Ed: Corrie S. Narisma
