Seriously only 29 trains???!!! there are 40 trains in service to of which there are 19 4-car trains and 26 3-car trains and the rest are just reserved but start this like this first close dow the lrt line 1 and mrt-3 to give it a massive over haul and install osme new features like PSD Aiconditioning to the stations and 2 level stations and use Automatic Fare Gates instead of turnstiles and to give this lengthen the lrt line 1's platforms and order extra train cars from hyundai and kinki sharyo to make the configuration 5 cars.

The new management should buy spare parts first.

OT: latest AC Nielsen report 86% of Filipinos belong to Class D and E, 13% Class C and 1% Class A and B. Nakakalungkot.

But ADB reports differently: Percentage of the total population: 25% to 30% poor or below the poverty line, 60% to 70%, middle class, 10% to 15%, rich.

So, kailangan siguro baguhin ang mindset, ipakita natin na maayos magdamit ang mga tao, mura lang naman ang basic shoes esp. sa babae. ...I witnessed a sad but true experience. Dinner time sa Ortigas, we were eating: may pumasok na 2 tao, ang isa naka tsinelas, he was not allowed to go inside. Ang sabi: Bawal ang naka tsinelas. So, may bias talaga .

I will mention the name of the restaurant if asked. :)

Was the train running when you took the picture? Parang tao nga.

:yes: From Munoz station heading for Balintawak.

ot:

in fashion kasi tsinelas. some flip flops are more expensive than some brands of shoes kaya ibig sabihin kahit kayang bumili ng sapatos ay nagtsitsinelas pa din kasi nga uso. ok naman ang tsinelas basta malinis lang ang kuko at paa at di nanlilimahid. :lol:

MRT needs billions of taxpayer subsidies to keep afloat.

Passenger comfort is non-existent.

the stations are ugly and kludgy.

Majority of the tickets are sold manually.

Pila


just a few things why MRT is a FAIL


No subsidy from government, no line for tickets because there are no tickets, stations are not ugly because there are no physical structure to speak off tho conveniently located right at your doorstep, we call the jeepney system a failure too.

I did not include comfort because it is a relative.

Hey Guys is the LRT Roosevelt Station already open?????? About the new mrt trains who do you think should Biuld it Bombardier Transportation, Alstom, Kinki Sharyo, Siemens?????

:yes: From Munoz station heading for Balintawak.

Sir is the Roosevelt Station already open please share some pics

In fashion? only in the Philippines! PUnta ka sa karatig bansa dito sa Asya....di ganun. naka shoes mga tao - mapoporma pa.

Ang flip flops na mahal? Yung Havaianas? They are for the masses in Brazil. Price there is $2 to $4.

reply to OT: it doesn't matter whether the item is expensive or not. What matters is that it is appropriate for the right setting. Now with restaurants, depending on the policy of management, wearing slippers can be seen as a sign of disrespect to other patrons who are probably dressed appropriately for the occasion, say a wedding, etc. (unless the whole place were rented for the occasion like an informal/casual party). Same thing goes with caps and hats, they are appropriate outdoors but are seen as disrespectful indoors, especially in places of worship. In some countries all footwear is to be removed before entering a temple or mosque.

Back to LRT thread...it's really the risk of the passengers if they decide to wear slippers or not during their commute. If they do so in a crowded train, then they shouldn't blame the person who stepped on their newly pedicured feet and the like:nuts:

I think Roosevelt is not yet open though the escalators are being installed.

That's right....I was wondering why those flip flops are patronized by Filipinos....mahal man o mura, tsinelas pa rin yan....i believe only very few PInoy ay di kayang bumili ng sapatos/sandal

That's right....I was wondering why those flip flops are patronized by Filipinos....mahal man o mura, tsinelas pa rin yan....i believe only very few PInoy ay di kayang bumili ng sapatos/sandal

Because they're imported (colonial mentality) if they're Havaianas or some other Made in Brazil brand:lol:

I also have a theory that if not for comfort, it's because they (the wearers) are lazy to put on socks and tie their shoes.

Slippers are primarily resort wear (they are de rigueur for beaches and bathing) or home wear (since mostly informal visits are made to homes). But even then, the hosts/hostesses also dress up when greeting visitors at home, and in many cases, they wear nice shoes/sandals, not slippers.

LRTA operation back on normal schedule

The Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) will be implementing its new operating hours for Lines 1 and 2 systems effective September 15, 2010, to give way for a much-needed maintenance time for both revenue lines.

LRTA Administrator Rafael S. Rodriguez announced that the last commercial trip schedule will be cut by an hour (1) and an hour and a half (1 1/2) for the Yellow Line (Line 1) and Purple Line (Line 2), respectively.

During weekdays, the last trip for Line 1 will leave the Baclaran station en route to Balintawak at 9:30 P.M. while the last train will depart the Balintawak station en route to Baclaran at 10:00 P.M.

On weekends and declared holidays, Line 1 last commercial train going to Balintawak Station will leave at 9:00PM while the last trip going to Baclaran is 9:30PM.

On the other hand, LRT-2 shall have the same schedule on weekdays, weekends and holidays. The last commercial train will depart from Santolan station at 9:30 P.M. while the last trip from Recto station will depart at 10:00 P.M.

Rodriguez said the implementation on reduction of operating hours is for the maintenance works which will cover the rolling stocks, catenaries, stations, carriageways, signaling system and other physical facilities.

He added that the additional hour will give enough time for our maintenance and engineering people to finish all its routine preventive check-ups for the rolling stocks, including the sanitation works for all stations and inside the trains.

"We need a longer maintenance time to make sure that the trains are in optimal working conditions and that the stations are cleaned and sanitized to ensure the safety and convenience of the riding public," he added.

On March 4, 2010, the Authority extended its operation due to the demand of passengers mostly employed in malls. However, Line 1 has only a monthly average ridership of 31, 847 while line 2 has only an average of 26, 501.

Maybe you should ask when will the LRTA buy Refurbished Trains on what they have said they will accumulate 28 second hand refurbished coaches.

There is a Picture here showing roosevelt station open with a 3g train that had left the station

I think it's a test run. I had to get off at Balintawak Station.

But there is a pic that has a picture of a rail fan beside the train if so it could be opened next week or any day of this week

^^I do hope so, too. They must really open the Roosevelt then finally connect it to MRT's North Avenue station even without the GCT.

Well They Could Make North Avenue as a Temporary GCT

Yup, anytime soon. When I passed by Roosevelt Station the day I took that pic, there were improvised barriers at the stairs.

The comment above answers your own original post.

MRT in itself is an utter failure, regardless of how the jeepney system operates.

If your mind set is "pwede na" then it might not be a failure to you.

Hay naku yung Roosevelt Station, alisin lang nila yung manipis na MMDA steel railing sa staircase, open na ito as in Ready to use na eh, mas malala pa nga yung Balintawak nung ni-open pero eto ok na sa labas apparently, ewan ko kung bakit pinapatagal.

LRT1 to undergo facelift, add trains

STATE-RUN Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) is giving Southeast Asia’s first mass rail system a facelift to make it more comfortable and safe for the riding public. Rafael Rodriguez, LRTA administrator, said the “beautification” program for the LRT Line 1 facilities would be completed in two years.

The facelift of the LRT 1 includes repainting the 18 stations, installation of closed-circuit television (CCTV) surveillance cameras and a new fare collection system, the purchase of additional light rail vehicles (LRVs) and rehabilitation of railway tracks.

Rodriguez said the system has been in existence for more than 25 years and so needs to be renovated to ensure the safety of the riding public.

”Besides physical improvements, we will enhance the security measures,” he said, adding that LRTA has yet to estimate the total cost of the redevelopment.

The official said that LRTA will be adding seven refurbished air-conditioned four-car trains between October and March next year.

”By end next month, we expected to add one train that will improve the waiting time of the passengers,” he said.

At present, the interval of the train is between five and six minutes, slower than the ideal headway of three minutes.

The installation of air-conditioning units, rehabilitation of railway tracks and upgrading of equipment is part of the 1-billion yen capacity expansion project of LRT 1.

The line consists of a 15-kilometer elevated railway system servicing the Taft Avenue - Rizal Avenue route between Baclaran, Pasay City and the Bonifacio Monument in the Caloocan City.

Rodriguez said LRT 1 has 29 air-conditioned four-car trains that service about 430,000 passengers a day.

In the first eight months of the year, the system’s passenger traffic reached 102.71 million for a total revenue of P1.46 billion.

Last year, total passenger traffic stood at 149.44 million, while gross revenue amounted to P2.11 billion.

LRTA is also planning to link the LRT 1 to the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3. The agency will also construct the LRT 1 South Extension Project.

bdtrip to kagabi... kung kelan naman mag papasko na tska naman sila nagshift ng maaga mag close

Grabe tlga sa mrt3 sobrang tulakan, urgent na tlga ang mga new trains or kahit second hand. Kasi pag naipon mga tao sa platform kahit disiplinado na tao magiging loko din dahil sa mga nagtutulakang hndi disiplinado na masa. Everyday yan nangyayari, kawawa nga ung mga bagong salta at mga first time sumakay eh.

^^yan ang tinatawag na "Kulturang Pinoy" at "Only in the Pinas lang". :)

MRT3 urgently needs new/refurbished set trains (4 cars config)

^^Dapat talaga yan ang unahing ayusin ng gobyerno dahil sigurado malaking tulong na yan sa mga pasahero ng MRT3.

^^ remeber nung 2008 magkakaroon ng 74 new additional coaches MRT na proposal at darating ng 2010..... at mukhang di ito natuloy:ohno::ohno::ohno:

Ito ba yung 2nd hand trains galing Vienna. Malamang nga back to zero ulit ang proposal ukol dyan.:bash:

^^

nope brand new supposedly yun

^^bigla na lang atang nawala ang balitang yun simula nang gawin ang NEP dahil magkakaroon daw ng interchange ang LRT at MRT trains. Yun nga lang mahalaga pa ring bumili ng bagong tren ang MRT.

at nung bigla rin bumaba ang price ng krudo

Anu na ba ang balita sa Munoz station?

^^Ayun, Muñoz pa rin. Mukhang tapos na pero puro test run pa rin ang ginagawa nila dun. Sana sa next week mabuksan na talaga ito.

i agree. sobrah na talaga ang siksikan. kung hindi ka makikipagtulakan, either ikaw din ang tutulakin ng tao sa likod o hindi ka makakasakay. i wonder what kind of admin lrt/mrt have. matagal na yun problema na ito yet they haven't done anything. tapos nagboboast sa news, malaking ginhawa daw ang lrt/mrt. ginhawa saan?

^^^ ewan ko nga ba...nasa kultura na din ata natin na salubungin ang mga bumababa...hayzz.. ONLY IN DA PILIPINS

i don't think kultura yan. kulang talaga ang tren. kung maluwag, i don't think may sasalubong pa sa mga pababa di ba?

i remember may isang buntis na babae (parang kabuwanan na yata) sumigaw na halos mangiyak-ngiyak dahil hindi siya nakababa sa station dahil wala ng madaanan pababa. hindi rin makabigay ng daan ang mga tao sa pinto kung hindi muna sila bababa. given nagtutulakan naman yung mga papasok kung hindi, hindi sila makakasakay. ganito ang scenario ng lrt/mrt everyday.

i guess wala naman pakialam yun mga admin ng lrt/mrt since for sure may mga kotse yun at if ever they need to ride lrt/mrt, may special coaches naman intended sa kanila and even sa mga employees.

^^^ yeah, and that is why some of us shouts "May Buntis!! May Buntis" para lang makababa ..LOL!

^^

sa MRT marami yan diba? minsan may artistang dadaan.....(isang SSCer rin ang nagsasabi nun):lol::lol:

2001 ganyan na ang sistema sa mrt, ilang taon na nakalipas, ganyan pa rin, sa haba ng panahon, nakatatak na sa ating ugali yan, kaya matatawag ng kultura.

I heard the Vienna coaches cannot fit into the platform, pluf type daw kasi yung "donated" u-bahn trains which will hit the platform edge when opening. Siguro cancelled na ang pag padala dito.

Since 2001 LRT 1 lang ang may capacity expansion (kahit kulang) kesa naman sa MRT3 na since opening yun at yun padin ang gamit na coaches. pano pag nasira dalawa, edi mas lalong lalala ang siksikan?

^^^ ewan ko nga ba...nasa kultura na din ata natin na salubungin ang mga bumababa...hayzz.. ONLY IN DA PILIPINS

actually hindi lang sa Pilipinas yang ganyan

Mindset is a set of assumptions. You are over assuming too much (may I state it clearly: mind reading). Guess everyone here will know who the above is.

a lot of people agreed with me that MRT is a failure. You still have to explain why you dont think so.

can anyone na may kakakilala sa media to broadcast to PENOY:nuts: na "hindi natin kelangan ang price increase ngayon, ang kelangan capacity increase(more trains) tska kayo mag price increase" simple planning lang naman un.

Where do we get the funds for the capacity increase?

^^Wala nang nambabatao ng ta3 sa tren ngayon. Inalis na yung mga squatters sa gilig ng riles.

Pag inter connected na ang LRT at MRT. Puwede na bang magpahinga ang mga LRT trains sa underground depot ng MRT?

New rail link planned to NAIA3

The Philippine government has announced plans to construct a mass rail system that will link to the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 (NAIA 3). Rafael Rodriguez, Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) administrator, said the NAIA 3 rail link project involves the construction of a 6.2km spur line from the Baclaran station of the existing LRT Line 1. The project is still under a conceptual design and pre-feasibility study stage.

The NAIA 3 rail link system has four stations. The project would have an estimated capacity of 2,800 passengers per hour per direction or 40,000 passengers a day. Rodriguez said, “We are at the final stage of completing the mode of implementation for these projects. We hope we can start the PPP scheme by next year.”

22 September 2010

kasama ba dyan yung nakasupot na t@e na binabato ng mga taga-riles sa PNR trains?

dapat bago ka manghusga sa mga pinagsasabi mo, e subukan mo muna. ang laki nang pinagbago since 2009! At kung natatakot ka sa pag sakay dito, e sasamahan ka pa namin para lang masubukan mo:) (peace dapat tyo dito magkakasundo)

Why don't they extend the railway of LRT-1 not only to the municipality of Imus, but to the municipality of Silang as well. Should this happen, they'll be hitting and servicing the populous spine of the province of Cavite wherein development is latent and transport infrastructure incentives are much needed. The light rail system can be integrated into a multi-modal transportation terminal and will be continued by a commuter rail to accommodate more users.

tanong ko lang kung abot na hanggang alabang yung sa pnr (bagong train). ano schedule nya? thanks.

...Or even up to Tagaytay though this can be very costly for the extension project.One project at a time. Costly kasi yan so the market will demand if it is feasible or not.

cost is only a part of it, it's the viability which is of prime importance. a very
costly project can be very attractive and desirable if the viability is seen as
very promising and less risky. when viability fails, subsidies come in, sometimes
warranted, oftentimes not. since the present set-up are subsidized, that means
their feasibilities failed. now, to add an extension to line like this will make the
viability of the system worse and increase the subsidies.

mass transport always cling to the dense part of the city where ridership is
extremely high. the farther you are away to the urban center, the less rider-
ship you have and the less viable you become. it will come to a point that
revenues from the ridership in the dense areas will subsidize the ridership in
areas at the ends of the line. so if you over-extend the lines, it will become
greatly unviable as a whole, increase subsidies again and causes the pressure
to increase fare rates. in the end, those who are paying a lot in the city
center will pay a lot more because he/she is subsidizing the passengers in
the less dense and unviable areas. it's your choice ...

Dadami lang ang pasahero ng Balintawak kapag naikonekta na ang LRT1 sa MRT North Avenue, kahit wala pang GCT. Sigurado yan, maraming taga-QC ang gusto pumunta ng Maynila at pabalik ng Quezon City.

what's the projected ridership? of course, passenger volume will increase. but
to what levels? and will it reach a revenue level to justify the costs? that's
how projects are decided, not on whether there will be an increase or not.
wherever you introduce a new transport capacity, there will always be genera-
ted and diverted trips. it's the extent these generated/diverted trips which
determines a go-no go project decision.

dapat bago ka manghusga sa mga pinagsasabi mo, e subukan mo muna. ang laki nang pinagbago since 2009! At kung natatakot ka sa pag sakay dito, e sasamahan ka pa namin para lang masubukan mo:) (peace dapat tyo dito magkakasundo)
in fairness, maganda na talaga yung trains ng pnr, at malinis, pero siyempre dahil every hour lang ang biyahe, di gaano dinudumog ng tao, pero palagi pa ring puno eh...dapat gawin nila para-mamaximize na rin, every 10 mins sat kailangan ng improvements ng mga statiaons...sigurado walang kalugi-lugi yan, sa dami pa naman ng tao sa metro manila.

OT:

The PNR does not make its money from passenger operations. It makes its money from cargo. The commuter operations in Manila and the Bicol Region, while making some money, are less profitable than PNR cargo operations, if and when the cargo service will be restored.

Also, ten-minute headway on PNR trains would have significant repurcussions for traffic along major crossings, like Buendia.

^^
I agree with. I think they should elevate the line once construction of the NLEX-SLEX link begins and turn it into a Metro Line instead. Provincial trains should stop at FTI (when it gets developed) and Caloocan instead.

A good plan too. Unfortunately FTI property is now up for private development...Seems the NG did not realize the importance of that site and turn it into a transpo hub.

Maybe they can still include a transport hub in FTI's development plan. A multi-modal station would be great. All of the bus stations in Pasay must be relocated there along with PNR Southern Inter-City Terminal.

Agree. NG should maximize its properties by tapping transport sector to help commuters to and from provinces travel into Metro Manila and CBD's.

is this LRT East Line (LRT 8)? a Railway in Laguna?
This is the first time i read about this... interesting...

^^Where is the link? I'm interested on this rail line for sure thousands of commuter living in the East will be benefited from this project.:)

RDC tackles harmonization of Laguna Lake development projects

Calamba City (22 September) -- The possible overlapping of projects and other major issues concerning Laguna de Bay prompted the Regional Development Council (RDC) Calabarzon to hold a joint meeting for the Economic and Infrastructure Development committees to harmonize major development initiatives in the Laguna Lake Basin both for implementation by national and local stakeholders.

Both the Sectoral Committee on Economic Development (SCED) and Sectoral Committee on Infrastructure Development (SCID) concurred to the joint meeting held recently at TESDA's Women Center in order to draw a unified recommendations and agreements to ensure consistency with the regional and local development plans.

In the meeting, the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) presented the current situation in the Laguna Lake basin, major issues and development gaps like proliferation of informal settlers in high risk areas, flooding and siltation.

An overview of key interventions by LLDA and agency stakeholders, such as bamboo reforestation in watershed areas, community assistance in eco-tourism, waste water treatment, flood control and solid waste management, among others was also discussed.

Also discussed are the ongoing major and proposed projects: the Laguna Rizal Ecological Transport System (LABART) an integrated road and railway system from Metro Manila to all towns and cities along the shoreline of Laguna de Bay; Flood Mitigation Project; Ayala De Santa Rosa Waterfront Development Project; lakeshore ring road dike including pumping stations, floodgates and drainage facilities in Laguna.

Based on the presentation of on-going major and lined up projects for implementation both committees affirmed the need for a clear coordinating mechanism or structure to oversee the various investment requirements, implementation and monitoring of programs and projects in the lake area.

^^I think this is a circumferential railway which is included in DOTC's 'Paglalakbay Book' which I have a copy. I will post it here when I found the soft copy.

akala ko naligaw ako ng thread. :lol:

around 500,000 sir......

new ridership? are you sure? MRT 3 is averaging 500k maxing out at 650k
while LRT 1 i think is still less than 500k. so you mean there will be an additional
500k? that's quite a lot. well, if that's the numbers ... but really, seems too
high for an incremental ridership ...

Hindi pa bukas yan.

Kung yun ngang Roosevelt Station hindi pa at mukhang wala pa tayong idea kung kailan talaga ang pagbubukas nito.

Meron po ba dito sa Thread na ito ang nakaka-alam ng complete info or advise kung kailan magbubukas ang Roosevelt?

Ano pa ba ang hinihintay para buksan ito?

Meron pa bang finishing touches dito?

Thanks and Happy Sunday to all :)

Yes Yes Yes oo nga hindi pa sya bukas pero ayos nananaman exterior and interior nya eh according to one of my youtube buddies albertsmoi(He works in the LRT NEP) they are conductiong the Test Runs from Balintawak Station Till Roosevelt Station Using the Third Generation Trains up till now they still have no idea when will it open.

MRT 3

^ wow that's really narrow.

and that is suppose to be a mass transit. how do they expect to increase ridership with a narrow platform? tapos yung train frequency ang tagal.

from the entrance, pahirapan na ang pagakyat sa stairs. pag dating sa taas, haba ng pila sa ticketing booth. aabutin ka ng siyam siyam para makabili lang ng ticket. pag pasok mo sa turnstile, sobrang saksakan ng daming pasahero kanina pa nagaantay ng train. tapos sobrang kitid pa ng platform na halos konti na lang hindi na makadaan ang mga tao para makapila. pag dating ng train, hindi mo alam kung paano ka makakasakay. parang hindi na mahulugan ng karayom sa siksik ng tao. more often, i see people force their way makasampa lang sa train even most part of their bodies are outside the train. they just wait till the door closes to push them further inside. mast of the waiting passenger are left to wait for the next train. if you are not aggressive or push your way, you might miss 2-3 trains before you can ride.

that's the typical everyday life of a lrt/mrt commuter during rush hour. tapos lakas ng loob comparing yung fare natin with other countries? sobrang layo naman ng mrt/lrt natin sa kanila. another 5 years, baka mag doble ang mga passengers. i wonder what it would be like.

^ wow that's really narrow.

Because that platform is served by a TRAM. I cannot explain any longer.:ohno:

^^ really? the rest of the of the track, or outside the stations is built like a rapid transit system.

^^You may ask @Wanch about that, or you may back read several threads about his comments on MRT3. Or, you may observe closely that it's a three car configuration and narrower than some LRT1 trains.

^^ really? the rest of the of the track, or outside the stations is built like a rapid transit system.

Look at the railcars used. Those are trams.

In other words, Line 3 is a big mess and whoever planned that must be held liable.

In other words, Line 3 is a big mess and whoever planned that must be held liable.

So, in effect: Trams in a supposedly Rapid Transit? Well, it is called Mass Rapid Transit (MRT)....I think the best way is to have the trains in Line 1 to be used in MRT 3...

Thank you Uchiha11198 for the info.

God bless :cheers1:

The "MRT" in MRT-3 actually means "Metro Rail Transit"

As for Line 1, the 1000 series are actually trams as well. However, the line eventually grew and they got better rail cars. Even so, they're still not as efficient as true metro rail cars like what they use for MRT-2.

Well None is to Be Blamed We Should have used EMU's(Electric Multiple Units) from the Start in our LRT/MRT Systems just like in Singapore to of which they are coupled into 6 cars and the System is Not All Elevated and Some are Underground and Have Platform Screen Doors(for safety) If the Happened we will have the First Station with Platform Screen Doors in the Whole World even Toppling Toa Payoh MRT Station.. I Should suggest that MRT-3/LRT-1 Should close for a Massive Overhaul Retiring there Old LRV(Light Rail Vehicles) that are suitable into making Manila's Modern Tram System and Order Bombardier Movia's/Alstom Metropolis Type EMU's that can carry loads of passengers and let LRT-1/MRT-3 use the same rolling stock and Have CROSS TRAIN TRANSFERS and Demolish Tri Noma and Build the MRTC General Headquarters there and have the MRT-3 Depot Expanded and Have Stations that have Aircondition.

The Train Configurations that we should have
LRT-1 5-car Wide Bodied EMU's
MRT-2 6-car Wide Bodied EMU's(When the Line 2 extension is Completed)
MRT-3 8-car Wide Bodied EMU's that can hold up to 1,500-2,000
MRT-7 6-car Wide Bodied EMU'S

Demolish TriNoma? Haha! TriNoma OWNS 49% of the Depot's stake, there's no way in this lifetime that that mall will be torn out for any other purpose whatsoever, unless it's time for a redevelopement, it is sold or a ww3! My favorite mall has nothing to do with the shortcomings of our train systems, period.

Ah okay...there is nothing with MRT cars. They look like the ones in other countries, i.e. KL Kelana Jaya line. Not all stations are bad, though.

^^ The Kelana Jaya and Ampang Line cars in KL are wider than MRT-3 trains.

^^ If it's wider, I don't think the difference is big...looked like the same lang kasi, the interior, etc. compared to Line 2 lines, the difference is noticeable.

DZMM Teleradyo reports that MRT-3 suffered a technical problem for an hour leaving many passengers stranded.

LRT 2 is purple color line.
Yes of course the new LRT 1 station like in Balintawak were as spacious as the LRT 2 Stations.

Why Demolish Tri Noma? to make way for the Operations Control Center of the MRT-3 so if it is the DUMBEST thing you have heared what would you choose an OCC for the MRT-3 or a mall?

I think I would look for options rather than allow hundreds of people to go jobless for a OCC.
Went to Tri Noma this year for the first time. Very nice mall - great AYCE buffet to :)

it actually looks like Betty Go-Belmonte or Gilmore station

^^
I agree with. I think they should elevate the line once construction of the NLEX-SLEX link begins and turn it into a Metro Line instead. Provincial trains should stop at FTI (when it gets developed) and Caloocan instead.

What if the heavy freight trains that would need to get further into the city?
They two would still require rail access and may not be easily utilized in an overhead metro type system. Though not impossible.

kaian start ang construction ng malvar station? mag 2011 na ah. any news?

I noticed that all the LG LCDs along all the stations of MRT ay hindi ginagamit,sayang at naeexpose lang ang mga ito sa weather, sino kaya ang engeng na nag procure ng mga lcd. It might be better to have a matrix billboard just like in lrt1&2. Mahirap kasi ma-read pag lcd or tv display kapag malayo.

^^ Mas maganda na Pinoy-made LCDs na lang na protektado.

With this thread quickly coming to a close have any details emerged about the proposed spur line from Baclaran to NAIA? Routing? Stops? Other than the few details that were released I can update the reference map (see the first page) with some very vague details.

The Train Configurations that we should have
LRT-1 5-car Wide Bodied EMU's
MRT-2 6-car Wide Bodied EMU's(When the Line 2 extension is Completed)
MRT-3 8-car Wide Bodied EMU's that can hold up to 1,500-2,000
MRT-7 6-car Wide Bodied EMU'S
PNR Filtrack(Orange Line) 7-car Wide Bodied DMU's
PNR Northrail 7-8-car Wide Bodied EMU'sand redesign/expand/extend ALL the stations?Well, that will happen anyway. It's inevitable.

OMG! they're really going to do that? that's going to be huge demolitions of
existing buildings and structures besides ALL the stations in the line! and how
much would this cost? we'll see a doubling of the subsidies, ... and the fares
again. when is this going to be done?

In my opinion, 4 and 8 car config are the most viable, being 8 car config the best for MRT3. I just hope they do this after the recoup the cost of building it in the first place. which will be in 15 years (hopefully).

share ko lang dito ang reference na ito.

Iyong part ng Line 4(from North Avenue to Mindanao Avenue) ba ay ito na yung dadaanan ng MRT7 ngayon?
Maganda pala sana ito at maseserbisyuhan ang mga taga Bagong Silang?

http://i45.tinypic.com/b7hx54.jpg

There really hasn't been any definitive news/updates since I last posted this map, so there aren't any changes from Thread 19.

With this thread quickly coming to a close have any details emerged about the proposed spur line from Baclaran to NAIA? Routing? Stops? Other than the few details that were released I can update the reference map (see the first page) with some very vague details.

Gil, I suggest you update the map with the loop and LRT extensions.

http://i45.tinypic.com/b7hx54.jpg

I notice on the map that 2 and 7 are joined.
Will this be a real physical connection and allowing interoperability between them?

Thanks
Brad

panahon ni Pres. Marcos
eto ang tamang rail network

dapat MRT3 ang mag.extend ng stations roosevelt-balintawak-monumento diba?
hindi LRT.. kaya nga LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT dadaan sa masikip na daan

nung panahon ni Gloria binago nya ang MRT 4 at addition line ang MRT 7

Actually king masikip yung daan mas OK monorail. The better term is for low passenger volume ang Light Rail. although the problem with that is 600,000 passengers a day is not the definition of LOW.

ang monorail.. makati-bonifacio global city ang linya

^^may planong monorail sa UP diba

^^
ang kaso loyalist ang taga UP sa jeep.

Rail expansion tops list of private-public projects


By Ma. Elisa Osorio (The Philippine Star) Updated September 20, 2010


MANILA, Philippines - The government has released the list of the top 10 Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects with a combined worth of more than P127.78 billion.


The list of PPP projects ready for investment in 2011 was presented to businessmen during a meeting in Malacañang last week. Of the 10 projects, three did not have project costs yet.


The infrastructure projects focused mainly on the improvement of the rail system, roads and airports.


At least two business groups – the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) and the Management Association of the Philippines (MAP) – have expressed interest in investing in the projects.


The biggest project is for the expansion of the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) and the Light Rail Transit (LRT), which has a projected cost of P70 billion.


This is followed by the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) and the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) Link, which has a projected cost of P21 billion.


The MRT Line 2 has an estimated cost of P11.3 billion while the CALA Expressway has an estimated cost of P10.5 billion.


The other projects listed in the PPP include the improvement of Panglao airport worth P7.5 billion, the Puerto Princesa airport worth P4.36 billion and the Daraga international airport at P3 billion.




The projects that were listed but have no costs yet include the development of a city terminal for the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA), the privatization of the Laguindingan Airport Operation and Maintenance and the supply of treated bulk water for Metro Manila.


The biggest project – the MRT-LRT expansion – aims to integrate and expand the capacity of existing MRT 3 and LRTA railway lines.


It involves the extension of the existing 15-kilometer LRTA Line 1 system to Bacoor, Cavite by an additional 11.7 km. This also includes eight passenger stations with provision for two additional stations.


The MRT Line 2 involves the construction of a four-kilometer eastern extension of MRT Line 2 from Santolan in Pasig to Masinag Junction in Antipolo.


The project aims to expand the existing LRTA rail transport services of MRT Line 2 for the benefit of passengers coming from Marikina, Cainta and Antipolo, Rizal.


The Panglao airport, on the other hand, involves the construction of a new airport to conform to international standards.


The Puerto Princesa airport will also be rehabilitated in order to meet the standards of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). This will be done through the construction of a passenger terminal building, control tower, cargo terminal and other landside facilities.


The third airport project is the privatization of Laguindingan airport.


The PPP also lists the development of a city terminal in order to service another airport the DMIA in order to reduce cargo loading time.


The NLEX-SLEX Link will close the gap and complete the North-South Luzon industrial beltway transport axis by connecting the two expressways. This will help decongest Metro Manila traffic, particularly EDSA. The project will start in Caloocan City and end in Makati City.


The CALA Expressway, meanwhile, will provide vital access between various economic zones in Cavite and the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Metro Manila ports and the Batangas port. This is the extension of the on-going Manila-Cavite Coastal Expressway Extension. It will end in Silang, Cavite.


Lastly, the supply of treated bulk water will supplement the long-term water supply requirements in Metro Manila.

Post away folks!

Malacañang Backs MRT Fare Hike
October 1, 2010, 6:21pm

MANILA, Philippines – Just grin and bear it because it will do you good in the long run, Malacañang told commuters Friday over the impending fare hike of the Epifanio Delos Santos Avenue-based Metro Rail Transit line 3 (MRT3).

In a press briefing, Presidential Spokeman Edwin Lacierda said the proceeds of the fare hike reportedly to be implemented this month will be used to improve the MRT3 system to better serve its more than half a million daily users.

"It will help the MRT buy new coaches and new trains as well as improve its services," Lacierda said when asked in a press briefing if the Palace would intervene in the issue.

Various protests by militant groups had met the impending fare hike but Lacierda said this is understandable.

He related the experience of the North Luzon Expressway’s operator (Manila North Tollways Corp.) when it raised toll rates at the toll road by as much as 800 percent in 2005.

"Many complained about the high rates at the NLEX but they appreciated the good service in the long run. If there would be an increase, it would be for the betterment of the public. But, nonetheless, let me say, that we still don’t know, there is going to be a public consultation on that matter for now," Lacierda said speaking in Filipino.

With regard to the reported toll rate increase being sought by the NLEX operator for next year, Lacierda said they would let the Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) to decide on the matter.

The Department of Transportation and Communication (DOTC) earlier said transport fares for the MRT3 will not exceed P30, refuting reports that the fare increase may go up by as much as P44.

Wow. Meron na pala information display sa Balintawak Station... LED yan or Dot Matrix lang?

^^ digital clock lang yan

hindi kaya pwedeng humingi ang mrt3 ng donations from japan gaya ng sa pnr?

With Japan primarily using standard gauge, that's unlikely. One good reason why the PNR can get donations is that Japan is phasing out their narrow gauge stocks.

don't they have old EMUs ..hahaha ..i just want MRT3 to get new trains either old or new ..it doesn't matter as long as they procure new trains

^^ Japanese EMUs are of the MRT-2 kind, not the MRT-3 kind.

don't they have old EMUs ..hahaha ..i just want MRT3 to get new trains either old or new ..it doesn't matter as long as they procure new trains

me too. i want new trains/ or refurbished trains, basta kasya sa whole line ng mrt3. imagine mo ang mrt ng every 1 minute may train na dadating tpos 4 car train configuration na. Pnoy pls pls, add more trains. tska nyo i-increase fare... so that its fair for us..:banana:

@915bungohunter from previous thread

Imagine Indonesia naunahan pa tayo me monorail na sila sa Jakarta.. Nakakainis ang isipan ng iba. RAILWAY PROJECTS. Kahit abutin pa daw ng 200 years wala magbabalak hanggang Norte to sur nyan. Mas gusgustuhin pa nila BUS.

umm, meron din ako hinala na may ibang bansa na ayaw tayong umunlad..
for example para sa kanila, bakit kelangan bumili ng train kung pwde naman nila ibenta sa atin mga basurang second hand cars/buses/vans/trucks nila (and also their spareparts)..
dba mas pabor sa kanila yuon dahil mababawasan mga basura sa bansa nila?

second, syempre mas gusto nila bentahan tayo ng automobiles kesa train, para mas marami kita nila, mas marami masisira, mas marami sila mabenta spareparts.

third,bakit sila lagi gusto donate road infra projects. tapos expand roads dahil kitid daanan dahil dami na cars. Para pag expand roads, bili ka cars sa kanila dahil lumaki na kalsada.. ^^

Mind games noh?..

parang kawawa na masyado ang pinas, puro ukay-ukay na lang, pati tren.

@kenjikuno: di gumagana yung link mo sa previous thread.

@kalthas: diba ganun naman ginagawa ng japan. Dinodonate sa atin ang mga lumang trains nila. Pero sna naman ay wag na tayong umasa ng umasa sa mga basura nila. Kaya ms nagiging polluted ang pilipinas dahil sa mga surplus.

well pwede naman ding kumuha ng new trains eh kaso lrv's hindi emu's kung emu's ang ginamit sa simula pwede taung kumuha gn donated emu's sa japan

pwede yan sana..

salamat sir kenji pwede naman yan kaso puro lrt lang sinusuportahan ng japan kahit ang pinaka busy sa lahat ng tren sa maynila ang MRT-3

oo nga sir happs asa na lang tayo ng asa sa mga basura ng jpana kasi mas mura kaysa sa bumili ng bago or ang gawain nila irefurbish na lang nila lahat ung mga bulok na coaches ng northraill na hindi ginamit...

^^Pero bakit ang LRTA nakakapag acquire ng mga brand new LRVs? Bakit ang MRTC hindi?

@Happs:

LRT took how many years again before new generation trains were added to the line? Siguro take that many years and maybe that's the time MRTC will get new trains.

The problem is, they haven't even broke-even their investment and they try to acquire new trains already. (that's why the old? company of MRT3 did not bother acquiring new train sets).

dahil hindi ito kumikita, hinahayaan na lang nila ..dapat talaga gawin na ang merger ng LRTA at MRTC para ma absorb ng LRTA ang problema sa line 3 dahil marami naman tren ang line 1

Ok Time Table for the Rolling Stock

1985 - 1st LRV's Running in Manila
1998 A - LRTA Buy's 2nd Generation LRV's
1998 B - LRV's Start Running in EDSA
2003 - 1st EMU's Start Running in Manila
2006 - 3rd Generation Trains were grafted trough a loan
2006 - MRTC Planned to Buy new coaches but it bast back stabbed by NEDA
LRT Line 1 Train Intervals(Years before the Next Were Bought)

2nd Generation - 14 Years
3rd Generation 8 Years

duda ko na mas marami lang talagang kurakot sa MRT3 ..o di kaya naman, dahil hindi ito kumikita, hinahayaan na lang nila ..dapat talaga gawin na ang merger ng LRTA at MRTC para ma absorb ng LRTA ang problema sa line 3 dahil marami naman tren ang line 1

@ Kel Hindi naman ganun:bash: ang appropriate dyan gumawa sila ng INDEPENDENT AGENCY from the DOTC na mag-mamanage sa LRT/MRT or Transportation sa Lupa Which is to be calls The LAND TRANSPORT AUTHORITY na sila na ung mamahala Thus MERGING LRTA,PPA,MRTC,Bus Lines Then Divide it into 2 that will operate the Rail Lines Through a Bidding Process and a CONTRACT Parang sa Singapore SMRT&SBS Transit that operates Rail,Bus Taxis operations which is suitable to us and Interchange Stations! atsaka Bus Interchanges

Kel Maraming Tren NA HINDI GINAGAMIT AT NAG-SASAYANG LANG NG PERA!

2006 - MRTC Planned to Buy new coaches but it bast back stabbed by NEDA

Backstabbed by the NEDA? How exactly?

Kel Maraming Tren NA HINDI GINAGAMIT AT NAG-SASAYANG LANG NG PERA!

kaya nga they should work for the merger of LRTA and MRTC so that there will be transfer of rolling stock para ma solve ang problema ng line 3 if ever hindi ulit sila pansinin ng NEDA sa proposal nila for new rolling stock

salamat sir kenji pwede naman yan kaso puro lrt lang sinusuportahan ng japan kahit ang pinaka busy sa lahat ng tren sa maynila ang MRT-3

as if japan is santa claus. japan's financing is through ODA, a loan to the
philippine government, though concessional in terms. LRTA is a government
agency and QUALIFIED to absorb ODA. MRT is privately owned and operated
and thus, not qualified for ODA financing ... though it may acquire financing
from japans eximbank, at commercial rates, ... if it wants to. to imply that
japan only wants to support the LRT is wrong and tantamount to misrepre-
sentation, ... please don't do that ...

Ok Time Table for the Rolling Stock

1985 - 1st LRV's Running in Manila
1998 A - LRTA Buy's 2nd Generation LRV's

2nd Generation - 14 Years
3rd Generation 8 YearsBackstabbed by the NEDA? How exactly?

again, wrong and misrepresentation. NEDA did not approve the proposal
because it still required national guarantee and the terms are detrimental to
the philippine government and to the filipino people. what back-stabbing are
you talking about? please read the project documents and the evaluation
reports so that you will know what really happened. NEDA is one of the better
agencies in government, and always look after the overall benefit to the
country ... to imply that it "back-stabs" agencies is unfair to the people who
work there and who gives their best so that all of us will have a better
future.

^^ Sir Paul, I was asking for an interpretation as to how the NEDA's actions constituted backstabbing. But thanks for proving that the notion of a government agency "backstabbing" the Filipino people is patently false. :lol:

Students protest fare hike in light railway systems (http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/metro/view/20100930-295244/Students-protest-fare-hike-in-light-railway-systems)

By Karen Boncocan
INQUIRER.net
First Posted 18:37:00 09/30/2010

MANILA, Philippines - Students from colleges and universities along Taft Avenue in Manila held a noise barrage on Thursday to ask President Benigno Aquino III to stop the Light Rail Transit (LRT) and Metro Rail Transit (MRT) fare hike.

The student rallyists headed by the National Union of Students of the Philippines (NUSP) trooped to the LRT1 Central Station to protest the fare hike of LRT.

"We oppose any moves to increase the rates...students and their parents would be severely burdened by the rate increases," Joanna Armenta, a representative of St. Scholastica's College Student Council.

Ceasarie Santos, Chairperson of the University of the Philippines-Manila Student Council said that students' daily allowance would be insufficient for them to ride the train everyday, given the price hike.

NUSP further explained that the fare hike would add to the "mounting cost of education in the country, aside from yearly tuition and other fee increases, expensive textbooks and board and lodging."

The rallyists were made up of students from the University of the Philippines-Manila, Philippine Normal University, St. Scholasticas College, De La Salle University, College of St. Benilde, Sta. Isabel College, Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, and Unibersidad de Manila.

Students have also created the Derail the Hike Alliance (Youth Movement against the rising tranport costs), in their campaign to intensify their opposition to the fare hikes.

Secretary-General of the NUSP and one of the convenor of the Derail the Hike alliance, Vanessa Bolibol, said that mass transit should remain accessible to all since it "is a public service offered by the government."

^^ students should just deal with it -.- Even singapore's MRT fees are more expensive than the philippine version.

Students and Elderly should at least enjoy the old fare. Or give a little discount ala HK MTR.

@zidlakan Before The MRTC had a Meeting with the Government to help them to BUY THE NEW COACHES BUT THE PLAN WAS TURNED DOWN SO THE PLAN WAS FOR THE MRTC TO BUY THE COACHES THEMSELVES..

sobra na yang mga students na yan ah. Bakit di sila mag working student para maka afford sila . Katatamad ng mga yan. E ang gaganda nga ng mga celfon ng mga yan. May mga netbook at laptop pa. May pang load, at pang DOTA, pero walang pamasahe sa tren?

Students protest fare hike in light railway systems (http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/metro/view/20100930-295244/Students-protest-fare-hike-in-light-railway-systems)

MANILA, Philippines - Students from colleges and universities along Taft Avenue in Manila held a noise barrage on Thursday to ask President Benigno Aquino III to stop the Light Rail Transit (LRT) and Metro Rail Transit (MRT) fare hike.

The student rallyists headed by the National Union of Students of the Philippines (NUSP) trooped to the LRT1 Central Station to protest the fare hike of LRT.

"We oppose any moves to increase the rates...students and their parents would be severely burdened by the rate increases," Joanna Armenta, a representative of St. Scholastica's College Student Council.

Ceasarie Santos, Chairperson of the University of the Philippines-Manila Student Council said that students' daily allowance would be insufficient for them to ride the train everyday, given the price hike.

NUSP further explained that the fare hike would add to the "mounting cost of education in the country, aside from yearly tuition and other fee increases, expensive textbooks and board and lodging."

The rallyists were made up of students from the University of the Philippines-Manila, Philippine Normal University, St. Scholasticas College, De La Salle University, College of St. Benilde, Sta. Isabel College, Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, and Unibersidad de Manila.

Students have also created the Derail the Hike Alliance (Youth Movement against the rising tranport costs), in their campaign to intensify their opposition to the fare hikes.

Secretary-General of the NUSP and one of the convenor of the Derail the Hike alliance, Vanessa Bolibol, said that mass transit should remain accessible to all since it "is a public service offered by the government."

ayaw nila ng siksikan pero ayaw rin nila magbayad ng mataas ..ano kaya yun

When will the LRT2 get a fare hike again?

sobra na yang mga students na yan ah. Bakit di sila mag working student para maka afford sila . Katatamad ng mga yan. E ang gaganda nga ng mga celfon ng mga yan. May mga netbook at laptop pa. May pang load, at pang DOTA, pero walang pamasahe sa tren?

:rofl: sinabi mo pa...

@zidlakan Before The MRTC had a Meeting with the Government to help them to BUY THE NEW COACHES BUT THE PLAN WAS TURNED DOWN SO THE PLAN WAS FOR THE MRTC TO BUY THE COACHES THEMSELVES..

precisely. as i explained. the MRT 3 project is a BOT project - private firms
proposed, built, operated, and managed the facility, as opposed to the LRT lines
which are government-owned. of course, they proposed that government help
them with ODA sources. but it will not get beyond NEDA-ICC review. may natio-
nal guarantee pa, tapos gagamitin pa ODA -- which can not be used for private
interests -- it's inconsistent with the fact that it's BOT, inconsistent with the
very nature of ODA, which is a government to government transfer, and not in
consonance with efficient use of public funds. so it was denied.

the question lang naman siguro is - why do you call it back-stabbing? a lot
of projects get approved at agency levels but ultimately denied by NEDA (who
is headed by the President by the way) after all aspects are considered. ano
ba gusto nyo, lahat ng projects that's submitted to NEDA are approved with-
out thinking? are we implying that the President back-stabbed the proposal
since he/she is the Chairman of NEDA?

Footbridges to be Removed to Make Way for MRT-7

By ANNA LIZA VILLAS
October 3, 2010, 4:13pm

MANILA, Philippines – Several footbridges of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) in cities of Quezon City and Caloocan City might be removed to make way for the planned Metro Rail Transit Line 7 (MRT 7).

During the agency’s radio program, Chairman Francis Tolentino said they are looking at key areas in Metro Manila to put several footbridges that would be dismantled once the new MRT line starts.

He said the agency does not want to waste the fund that has been used to build the footbridges constructed during the time of former MMDA chairman Bayani Fernando.

“They will have to be removed because they are directly on the route of the planned MRT 7. We are planning to relocate them in areas that they are needed,” Tolentino said.

He said that the Sectoral Committee on Infrastructure Development of the Regional Development Council for the National Capital Region (RDC-NCR) has approved the endorsement of the Metro Rail Transit Line 7 (MRT 7) to the RDC-NCR proper.

“It is now on its final plans and designs,” said Tolentino, adding that line will run in a northeast direction, traversing Quezon City and part of Kalookan City in Metro Manila before ending at the City of San Jose del Monte in Bulacan province.

During the last organizational meet, the RDC-NCR has ironed out issues on the proposed MRT 7 to the committee.

The US $1.2 billion MRT 7 proposal is a combined 45-kilometer road and rail transportation project from Bocaue exit of the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) to MRT3 at North Avenue-EDSA.

The 22-kilometer, six-lane asphalt road will connect the NLEX to the major transportation hub development in Tala, San Jose del Monte. The 23-kilometer mostly elevated MRT starts from Tala and ends at the integrated MRT 3/MRT 7 station at EDSA.

MRT 7 may be the fourth rail rapid transit line to be built in Metro Manila. When completed, the line will be 22 kilometers long with 14 stations, and will be operated by the Universal LRT Corporation (ULC) under a Built-Gradual Transfer-Operate- and-Maintain scheme.

Passengers will be able to transfer to the Yellow Line and Blue Line through the Metro Manila Integrated Rail Terminal that will link the three lines at North Avenue in Quezon City.

The project will traverse the center island to avoid displacement of settlers. The construction period is expected to last 3-1/2 years. A traffic management plan will also be approved by the MMDA to ensure smooth flow of traffic during construction.

kaian start ang construction ng malvar station? mag 2011 na ah. any news?

Nasa NEDA-ICC for approval na siya... once it gets approved... ibi-bid din siya kagaya ng sa Common station. Hopefully umabot before the start of bids for Common station para maisama sa bidding process. If nothing would go wrong, sabay silang itatayo, by 2011. In fact, NEDA has already given attention to Malvar station by giving it a budget allocation...

No fare increase in three elevated railway systems

FARES WILL not be raised in three elevated railway systems pending public consultations on new rates, a Transport official said.

Dante M. Velasco, undersecretary at the Department of Transportation and Communications (DoTC), told BusinessWorld in a telephone interview on Saturday that the proposed new rates will still be submitted by a study group to a board composed of DoTC and affiliate agencies Light Rail Transit Authority and Metro Rail Transit 3 with Metropolitan Manila Development Authority.

"The study group is soon due to submit its recommendations to the board composed... We will make announcements after the board has acted on the recommendations."

The board will then recommend the proposal to economic managers within two weeks.

"We still have to finalize the new rates. We will make the announcement once we have talked with the economic managers," Mr. Velasco said, while public consultations will be held in the third week of October.

"The fare hike at Metro Rail Transit (MRT-3) and Light Rail Transit (LRT) Line 1 and Line 2 could not be pushed through this month as the [board] headed by [Transportation] Secretary Jose P. de Jesus will still have to meet with the economic managers and approve the new rates before conducting public consultations targeted on the third week of this month," he said. Mr. Velasco himself had announced the October fare hike during a media briefing last August.

Meanwhile, Mr. Velasco said that new fare for all railway systems will range from P20 to P30. LRT and MRT-3 tickets cost P10 to P15 apiece.

Another proposal, he said, is to provide student discounts. "The discount for students is one of the items studied and will be considered."

Light Rail Transit Authority has supervision over the 15-kilometer LRT Line 1 from Caloocan to Pasay cities via Rizal and Taft avenues, and the 13.8-kilometer LRT Line 2 from Barangay Santolan in Pasig City to Recto Ave. in Manila.

Close to half-a-million passengers patronize Line 1 on a daily basis, while Line 2 services an average of 250,000 passengers.

MRT-3, stretching 16.95 kilometers, is from North Ave. in Quezon City to Pasay City.

The train can accommodate 350,000 passengers daily, with the volume rising to about half-a-million on weekends.

Budget Secretary Florencio B. Abad has said in previous reports that the MRT subsidy this year of P5.12 billion, or P45 per person, may rise to P7.3 billion in 2011, or P47 per commuter. -- A. M. P. Dagcutan

^^ WTF... Kung ayaw nila ngayon, kelan pa? Siguro pasko, kasi maraming aguinaldo.

Basta may student discount it should stop the clamoring of those students.

nice shot with LRT trains :cheers:

yeah, dapat hwag silang pansinin...dapat mga scools in metro manila must be limited in population dahil subrang laki ng overhead para mamuhay dito...mas practical kung ang mga estudyante ay sa province na lang mag-aral kase with the presence of the internet, information and knowldege can be available anywhere you are. marami ring pogi and ganda sa province at pollution free and standard of living is very low

Nasa NEDA-ICC for approval na siya... once it gets approved... ibi-bid din siya kagaya ng sa Common station. Hopefully umabot before the start of bids for Common station para maisama sa bidding process. If nothing would go wrong, sabay silang itatayo, by 2011.
