LRT 1 STATIONS – You can check this complete guide for the train terminals belonging to the Light Rail Transit 1
It is widely known among the Filipinos that when you are in the National Capital Region, a heavy traffic is a common sight most especially during the peak hours. That is why the authorities have to implement different strategies to decongest the number of vehicles on the road.
A delay due to traffic in Manila and its neighboring cities can result to being late for several minutes up to hours. To ease the number of vehicles on the road, a number coding in Metro Manila is implemented by the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority, popularly called MMDA.
Aside from the coding system, those who want a faster travel may also take the train rides. There are the Light Rail Transit 1 (LRT 1), the Light Rail Transit 2 (LRT 2), and the Metro Rail Transit (MRT 3) traversing the different areas in the capital region.
With regards to the Light Rail Transit 1, also called the Green Line, it traverses Manila, Pasay, Quezon City, and Caloocan. It is under the operation of the Light Rail Manila Corporation (LRMC). Here are the LRT 1 stations where you can take a train ride:

The southernmost station of the LRT 1 is the Baclaran Station. It is followed by the EDSA station that is situated perpendicular to the Metro Rail Transit or MRT 3. Currently, there are 21 train terminals in LRT 1 but there is a huge possibility that it will increase next year.
With the LRT-1 Cavite Extension Project which the national government eyed, the extension will have aroud eight (8) more terminals to add to the existing LRT 1 stations.
