System. The line contains eleven stations and runs over 13.8 kilometres of mostly elevated

track, with the exception ofKatipunan station, which is underground. As the name implies,

the line is colored purple on all LRT maps.

The line runs in a general east-west direction, linking the cities of Manila, San Juan,

Quezon City, Marikina and Pasig. Passengers can transfer to the Yellow Line at Recto station,

while passengers can transfer to the Blue Line at Araneta Center-Cubao station.

Before the launch of the Strong Republic Transit System, the Purple Line was known

as MRT Line 2, shortened to LRT-2, or the Megatren. The former names are still used

colloquially. However, the purple color of the line dates back to its opening in 2003.

Unlike the LRT Line 1 and the MRT Line 3, this line uses heavy rail metro vehicles.

The LRT-2 network

The line serves 11 stations on 13.8 kilometers (8.6 mi) of line. It is mostly elevated,

with some sections underground. The line commences at Recto Avenue (Recto on the map)

and ends at Santolan Road (Santolan on the map), serving the cities that Radial Road 6

(Marcos Highway, Aurora Boulevard, Ramon Magsaysay Boulevard, Legarda Avenue and

C.M. Recto Avenue) passes through: Manila, San Juan, Quezon City, and Marikina City.

Araneta Center-Cubao is an interchange with the MRT network, with Araneta

Center-Cubao connected to its namesake station on the Blue Line while Recto is aninterchange with the LRT-1 network, with Recto connected to Doroteo Jose on the Yellow

Line. The line's interchanges have been designated as transport hubs, where commuters can

change to and from take other forms of public transport.

The LRT-2 is open from 5:00 a.m. PST (UTC+8) until 10:00 p.m during weekdays while

5:00 a.m. PST (UTC+8) until 9:30 p.m during weekends and holidays. LRTA extended its

operation hours. The extended hours were primarily aimed at serving call center agents and

other workers in the business process outsourcing sector. However, the extended operation

hours were called off when Rafael Rodrguez took over as LRTA undersecretary. Special

schedules are announced via the PA system in every station and also in newspapers andother mass media. It is open every day of the year except when announced, and during Holy

Week, when it is closed for annual maintenance, owing to fewer commuters and lower

levels of traffic congestion on EDSA. Normal operation resumes after Black Saturday or

Easter Sunday.

History

The Megatren system was built at a cost of P31 billion in soft loans mainly from the

Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC). This was a very concessional loan, with 2

percent interest for three packages, and payable for 30 years with a 10-year grace period.

The Asia Europe MRT Consortium, led by the Marubeni Corporation, has delivered

18 new four - car trains. Each train is 92.6 meters long and consists of four motorized cars.

One train can seat 232 passengers. It can accommodate 1,396 more standing passengers

along its spacious coaches. Compared with the previous light rail projects, LRT-2 was more

difficult to build because of highly technical problems. Several international companies

participated in the project, which consists of four contract packages. Package 1 is the depot

in Santolan, Pasig where the 18 trains are stabled, and where the employees quarters, and

offices are based. Package 2 consists of the substructures, mainly the railways foundations

including the columns and pilings that support the guideways. Package 3 forms the

superstructure composed of the girders, or beams that support the train rails, the viaduct,

and the train stations. Package 4 includes the electro-mechanical systems, the rolling stocks,

the track works, including the network of cables and poles that transmit power to the trains.

The pre-casting segmental method (PSM), was used in building the viaduct or the

long stretch of suspension bridges resting on the concrete towers. The Megatren Line 2

project pioneered the use of the PSM technology or the pre-casting of the girders intosmaller segments so that each span connected between two columns weigh not more than

58 tons.

On April 5, 2003, the initial section, from Santolan to Araneta Center-Cubao opened,

followed on exactly after one year which is April 5, 2004, from Araneta Center-Cubao to

Legarda and finally on October 29, 2004 the final segment from Legarda to Recto opened.

Station layout and accessibility

Stations have a standard layout, with a concourse level and a platform level. Theconcourse is usually above the platform, with stairs, escalators and elevators leading down

to the platform level. The levels are separated by fare gates.

The concourse contains ticket booths. Some stations, such as Araneta Center-Cubao,

are connected at concourse level to nearby buildings, such as shopping malls, for easier

accessibility.

Almost all Stations have side platforms with the exception ofSantolan which has an

island platform. Part of the platform at the front of the train is cordoned off for the use of

women, children, elderly and disabled passengers. At side-platform stations passengersneed not to enter the concourse area to enter the other platform or go through bridges

atop some stations for it has a small center island in which they can transfer trains if there is

a train in the other side of the platform via the left door which is called the Seamless

transfer system which can only be found in this line, while passengers can easily switch sides

at the station with island platform. Stations have toilets at the concourse level.

All stations are barrier-free inside and outside the station, and trains have spaces for

wheelchair-bound passengers.

Shops and services

Inside the concourse of all stations is at least one stall or stand where people can buy

food or drinks. Stalls vary by station, and some have fast food stalls. The number of stalls

also varies by station, and stations tend to have a wide variety, especially in stations such as

Recto and V.Mapa.

Stations such as Araneta Center-Cubao and V. Mapa are connected to or are near shopping

malls, hotels and/or other large shopping areas, where commuters are offered more

services they need.

Safety

The LRT-2 has always presented itself as a safe system to travel in. So far, this has

been affirmed by the LRTA, the government owned and controlled corporation running LRT-

1 and LRT-2, has since been able to live up to that reputation. Safety notices in both English

and Tagalog are also a common sight at LRT-2 stations and inside LRT-2 trains.

Incidents and accidents

Date Location Results

January

10, 2005Recto

Two robbers dressed as janitors ran off with PHP 700,000 in station earnings

from Recto station, killing one policeman, Arcadio Borja from the Lockheed

Security Agency, in the process. The robbers were wearing the uniforms of

Excellent General Services, the agency which provides janitorial services on the

entire Purple Line.[1]

It is presumed that the robbers entered the station through

the fire exit, the hallway lights of which were turned off to make them invisible

to security cameras. Four janitors, eight security guards and cashier Leo

Inocentes, from which the money was robbed from, were subjected to a

polygraph test after testing negative for gunshot residue.

January

30, 2006Santolan

A man, later identified as Zaldy Morato Muna, was arrested after guards

conducting a routine bag search discovered bomb-making materials inside

Muna's bag, with the suspect claiming that the materials were for a fishpond

project in Antipolo City and that he believed that he had given the materials to a

friend of his. While the suspect has been relieved of any allegations of being a

member of a terrorist group, charges of illegal possession of explosives will still

be levied against him, according to police

Santolan to

Katipunan

At about 6:15am PST, LRT-2 operations were halted for about three hours due to

a power glitch that occurred between the two stations. LRTA engineers

discovered a piece oftin that broke one of the catenary wires, causing delays for

passengers who had to be transferred via coach to Anonas station, the closest

open station of the network for passengers boarding from Santolan and

Katipunan. Full line operations resumed by 9:30 am after the wire was repaired.

January

4, 2011V. Mapa

Operations of the LRT-2 were temporarily halted due to obstructions along the

tracks in the Sta. Mesa district in Manila during rush hour early Tuesday. The

object was reported past 7 a.m. PST, forcing them to stop operations until the

tracks were cleared.

March

24, 2011Katipunan

A glitch interrupted the operations of the LRT-2, this time involving a defectivedoor on one of its coaches. The technical problem occurred at 6:47 a.m. PST,

involving a train bound for the Recto Station when a train at the Katipunan

Station had the said glitch. The operations resumed at 6:55 a.m. PST, and

insisted LRT-2 technicians quickly fixed the problem.

June 11,

2011

Araneta

Center

The operation of Purple line was delayed when a man was suddenly jump on the

railroad tracks during an incoming train on Saturday morning.

Rules

Passengers at LRT-2 stations are advised to not stay too close to the edge of theplatforms to avoid falling onto the tracks. Passengers are prohibited from eating, drinking or

smoking inside the platform area of all LRT-2 stations and inside the trains. Bags are also

inspected for prohibited goods, such as chemicals and knives. Passengers are also inspected

by guards using a handheld metal detector.

For safety and security reasons, persons who are visibly intoxicated, insane and/or

under the influence ofcontrolled substances, persons carrying flammable materials and/or

explosives, persons carrying bulky objects or items over 1.5 metres (5 ft) tall and/or wide,

and persons bringing pets and/or other animals are prohibited from entering the LRT-2.

Passengers are also prohibited from entering the LRT-2 if bringing products in tin cans, citingthe possibility of home-made bombs being concealed inside the cans.

Security

In response to the Rizal Day bombings and the September 11th attacks, security has

been stepped up onboard the LRT-2. The Philippine National Police has a special LRT-2

police force, and security police provided by the LRTA management can be found in all LRT-2

stations. All LRT-2 stations have a head guard. Some stations may also have a deployed K9

bomb-sniffing dog.

The LRT-2 also employs the use of closed-circuit television inside all stations to

monitor suspicious activities and to assure safety and security aboard the line.

Passengers are also advised to look out for thieves, who can take advantage of the

crowding aboard LRT-2 trains. Wanted posters are posted at all LRT-2 stations to help

commuters identify known thieves.

Fares and ticketing

The LRT-2, like the LRT-1 and MRT-3, uses a distance-based fare structure, with fares

ranging from twelve to fifteen pesos (28 to 35 U.S. cents), depending on the destination.

Fare structure

The LRT-2 only uses one fare structure for both single-journey and stored-value

ticket holders. Commuters who ride the LRT-2 are charged 12 pesos for the first three

stations, 13 pesos for 46 stations, 14 pesos for 7-9 stations, and 15 pesos for 10 stations or

the entire line. Children below 1.02 metres (3 ft 4.4 in) (the height of a fare gate) may ridefor free on the LRT-2.

Types of tickets

Four types of LRT-2 tickets exist: a single-journey (one-way) ticket whose cost is

dependent on the destination, a stored-value (multiple-use) ticket for 100 pesos, a

discounted stored value ticket (multiple-use) which can only be availed by senior citizens

and disabled persons for 96 pesos, and a single journey ticket for employees (one-way)

which is exclusive for LRTA employees only. The single-journey ticket and the single journey

ticket for employees is valid only on the date of purchase. Meanwhile, the stored-valueticket and the discounted stored-value ticket is valid for six months from date of purchase

when unused and for one month from date it was first used.

LRT-2 tickets come in two incarnations: one bearing the portrait of Gloria

Macapagal-Arroyo, which have since been phased out, although some tickets have been

recycled due to ticket shortages, and one with the LRT-MRT closing the loop project design

with Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo again in the picture. In the past, the MRT-3 borrowed tickets

from LRT-2 and LRT-1 rather than recycling the old "Erap tickets", due to the same ticket

shortages.

Unlike MRT-3, LRT-2 now has sufficient number of tickets with the arrival of the new

tickets and the unified ticketing system between LRT-1 and LRT-2 among stored value users

which result to a shorter line in booths compared to its MRT-3 counterparts.

Rolling stock

The LRT-2 runs on heavy rail vehicles made in South Korea by Hyundai Rotem in a

four-car configuration. The trains came in together with the fourth package during the

system's construction. Trains have a capacity of 1,628 passengers, which is more than the

normal capacity of LRT-1 and MRT-3 rolling stocks.

LRT-2 trains, like their MRT-3 and second generation LRT-1 counterparts, are

particularly known for their use of wrap advertising. A wide variety of advertisements can

be seen on LRT-2 trains, of which some include Nike, Converse and Samsung products.

Trains bearing wrap advertising are now very common aboard the LRT-2, although trains

that use LRT-2's house colors are also in service in the network. The revenues generated

from the advertising on LRT-2 trains are used to pay off debts incurred by the LRTA during

The LRT-2 maintains an at-grade depot in Marikina City, near Santolan station. It

serves as the headquarters for light and heavy maintenance of the LRT-2, as well as the

operations of the system in general which includes the operation of the driverless trains. It

is connected to the main LRT-2 network by a spur line.

FUTURE PLANS

Purple Line Eastern Extension

A 4-kilometer eastern extension of the Purple Line to Masinag in Antipolo, Rizal, was

proposed. It was approved in principle by the National Economic and Development

Authority (NEDA), but the actual proposal is pending before the NEDA secretariat. In the

future, the line could be extended as far west as Manila North Harbor and as far east as

Cogeo in Antipolo.

Purple Line Western Extension

An 8-kilometer western extension of the Purple Line to Tondo, Manila was proposed.

It was approved in principle by the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA),

but the actual proposal is pending before the NEDA secretariat. The construction of this said

extension will create one station which will serve people in the Tutuban /Divisoria area.

History

December 1, 1984: Baclaran to Central Terminal May 12, 1985: Central Terminal to Monumento March 22, 2010: Monumento to Balintawak October 22, 2010: Balintawak to Roosevelt

Main Line of Yellow Line

The Yellow Line is predominantly aligned to the path of Taft Avenue (Radial Road 2),

which was chosen largely due to its straight length. Later on, as Taft Avenue ends, it shifts to

Rizal Avenue and Rizal Avenue Extension (Radial Road 9) then turning right at EDSA or

Circumferencial Road 4 (C-4 Road) before ending at the corner of North and West Avenues

and EDSA. The trip continues as it traverses the Blue Line until it reaches again Pasay City

near Taft Avenue.

South Extension

In the future it will take Quirino Avenue (Road from Paranaque to Bacoor) then at the side

of Seaside Drive then to the Coastal Road then it will take the side of the street of

Kabihasnan to Quirino Avenue (again) to its extension, General Emilio Aguinaldo Avenue

from Las Pinas-Bacoor Boundary of Zapote Bridge to Niog.

FUTURE PLANS

Yellow Line Southern Extension

A southern extension of the Yellow Line, also known as the Cavite Extension Project,

is proposed, although President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo already left the project. The

extension has 10 stations over some 11.7 kilometres and will be the second line extending

outside the Metro Manila area (after MRT-7) with the line ending in Bacoor in Cavite. An

unsolicted bid to conduct this work from Canada's SNC-Lavalin was rejected by the

Philippine government in 2005. In 2006, the government is working with advisers

(International Finance Corporation, White & Case, Halcrow and others) to conduct an open-

market invitation to tender for the extension and a 30-year concession to run the extended

LRT-1 line.

The following stations compose the Southern Extension:

Redemptorist - Paranaque City Manila International Airport - Paranaque City Asia World - Paranaque City Ninoy Aquino - Paranaque City Dr. Santos - Paranaque City Manuyo Uno - Las Pinas City Las Pias - Las Pinas City Zapote - Bacoor, Cavite Talaba - Bacoor, Cavite Niog - Bacoor, Cavite

The line would be extended from Paraaque City southwards, connecting Las Pias City and

the municipality ofBacoor in Cavite to the LRT network.

Incidents and accidents

Date Station Event

December 30,

2000Blumentritt

On Rizal Day, a Yellow Line car exploded near Blumentritt station as part ofa series of explosions in a terrorist attack known as the Rizal Day bombings.

The attack on the LRT killed some 22 people and injured hundreds. Eight

members of both Jemaah Islamiyah and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front

(MILF), which include Hambali, Asia's most wanted man, and the late Fathur

Rahman al-Ghozi, were charged with plotting and masterminding the

attacks in 2003, some three years after the attacks. Three suspects were put

on trial,with al-Ghozi receiving 17 years in prison due to the illegal

possession of explosives. However, al-Ghozi would die in a firefight after

attempting to escape from prison.
