They're all technically light rail trains. No there are no grade crossings, except in the maintenance yards. Perhaps the reason why overhead wire was chosen is that Manila is prone to flooding, so therefore overhead wire is a safer option.

LRT-1 and MRT are considered as light rail trains but LRT-2 is more heavy rail.

Also these are elevated trains. Would flooding still be a problem in this level?

HK's metro system also uses overhead wires. These includes the MTR and KCR

I don't like the 3G trains. They only look good on the front and the rear. The sides are soo plain.

But I like what MMDA did under the LRT. Really gwapo.

BTW, are there any plans of removing of the overhead wires?

Cytochrome · October 15th, 2008, 04:13 PM

couldn't agree more..

Manila's only underground station as of this moment, Katipunan. (MRT-7 will have three underground stations under a planned central business district.)
