      Hi. Sorry but I do not remember where was the drop-off point in Villagio Mall. As for the timetable, all I remember was they have trips 3x a day, on a first come-first served basis. I suggest you email them directly for the latest timings and for the pick-up/drop-off points. Thanks for watching!
