Following the Department of Transportation's (DOTr) approval to implement adjusted fares for both Light Rail Transit Lines 1 and 2 (LRT-1 and LRT-2), train commuters would need to shell out a few more coins starting August 2, 2023.
The new fare matrix for the LRT-1 and LRT-2 have been released by operators Light Rail Manila Corporation (LRMC) and Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) in order to give time for us commuters to plan ahead.
Check out the new fares below:
