The Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) recognized the key personnel behind the successful completion of the LRT Line 1 South Extension Project – Phase 1 in a special ceremony.
LRTA Administrator Hernando T. Cabrera presented certificates of appreciation to officials and staff during a flag-raising ceremony, highlighting the project’s significance in providing efficient and accessible transportation
In his speech, Cabrera underscored the importance of this accomplishment: “The completion of the South Extension Project demonstrates our ability to conceptualize, develop, and operate major initiatives that provide convenient, accessible, safe, secure, and affordable transportation for our passengers.”
The LRT-1 Cavite Extension project features five new stations: Redemptorist-ASEANA, Manila International Airport Road, Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX), Ninoy Aquino Avenue, and Dr. Santos (formerly known as Sucat).
This extension project significantly reduces travel time between Baclaran in Pasay City and Bacoor in Cavite, decreasing it from 1 hour and 10 minutes to just 25 minutes, and is expected to accommodate an additional 80,000 passengers daily.
