Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange

The Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX, ) is a public transport terminal in Parañaque, Metro Manila, Philippines. PITX is built and operated by Megawide Construction Corporation and the Department of Transportation (DOTr) under the Philippine government's Public-Private Partnership program.

It replaced the older Southwest Integrated Transport Terminal (SITT) initially located at the derelict Uniwide Coastal Mall, which was transferred to HK Sun Plaza in Bay City, Pasay as the Southwest Interim Provincial Terminal (SWIPTS). 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, PITX serves as a hub for buses, jeepneys, and other public utility vehicles headed for areas north of Metro Manila and areas south of Metro manila (Visayas and Mindanao) including the provinces of Cavite and Batangas, and vice versa. It is projected to accommodate around 200,000 passengers. The terminal is also planned to connect with the Asia World station of the proposed Line 1 Cavite extension.

Location 
The Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange is located on a  site in AsiaWorld, a subdistrict of Bay City in Parañaque, where  is currently used for transport services, commercial spaces, and office buildings, while the remaining  will serve as part of a ₱5 billon expansion project of the terminal and will be allocated for additional bus services.  It is situated near the north end of the Manila–Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX) just off Macapagal Boulevard and a couple of blocks south of NAIA Road adjacent to the former Uniwide Sales Coastal Mall.
