Araneta Center–Cubao station, also called Araneta–Cubao station or simply Cubao station, is a station on the Manila Metro Rail Transit System Line 3. Araneta Center–Cubao station is one of the many elevated stations that can be found on the line.

The most recognizable landmark that the station is located at is Araneta City, which hosts shopping malls such as Gateway Mall, Ali Mall, and Farmers Plaza. The Araneta City complex is also host an indoor arena, the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Also there is a Nice Hotel on the opposite side of the Farmers Plaza.

Transportation links[]

Due to its location at Araneta City, the station is located in a major transportation hub. Prior to the establishment of the EDSA Carousel, provincial buses stopped at the Araneta Center Bus Terminal within the complex. Currently, the EDSA Carousel does not stop at Cubao and as such, is served by other bus routes. Jeepneys for various destinations all over Metro Manila and Rizal province, taxis and tricycles are available upon request. Traffic regulations, however, prohibit tricycles on EDSA and Aurora Boulevard.

The station is also the transfer point for commuters riding the Manila Light Rail Transit System Line 2, or Line 2. It is connected to its namesake station on the Line 2 via a walkway that goes through the New Farmers Plaza, past the Smart Araneta Coliseum and to the station's entrance just outside the Gateway Mall.
