MANILA — Quezon City First District Representative Arjo Atayde on Friday (08 Nov 2024) expressed optimism that the LRT-1 Cavite Extension Phase 1 will help alleviate the traffic in Metro Manila.
Atayde, the vice chairperson of the Metro Manila Development Committee, made the statement after Transport Secretary Jaime Bautista announced that the new railway would begin its partial operations this November.
“This new LRT line will not only help commuters to have more accessible and convenient public transportation but also help ease the traffic in Metro Manila,” the lawmaker said.
Moreover, Atayde furthered that it would ease the experience of commuters traveling from Quezon City to Parañaque, especially this holiday season.
According to the Department of Transportation (DOTr), the stations would be Aseana Station, MIA Road Station, PITX Station, Ninoy Aquino Avenue Station, and Dr. Santos Station.
The agency also said that it is expected to reduce the travel time by an hour or less. It is also projected to serve an additional 80,000 passengers daily.
Meanwhile, the legislator-actor lauded the Marcos administration for the new project that would benefit thousands of Filipinos.
