Central Terminal LRT Station, sometimes called Central, Manila City Hall, or Arroceros LRT Station, is a station on the Manila LRT Yellow Line (LRT-1). Like all other LRT-1 stations, Central Terminal is above-ground. The station is located in Ermita in Manila. The station is so-called because it lies at the center of the line. However, a popular name for the station is Arroceros, having been given its name because the station lies in Arroceros Street.
Central Terminal is one of the four stations and terminals in the whole LRT-1 system that allows commuters to catch a train going in the opposite direction without paying a new fare, due to the terminal's layout; the other three stops are Carriedo, Balintawak and Roosevelt.
Central Terminal is the last station of LRT-1 south of the Pasig River and serves as the ninth station for trains headed to North Avenue and the fourteenth station for trains headed to Baclaran.

Famous quotes containing the words central, terminal and/or station:
“When life has been well spent, age is a loss of what it can well spare,—muscular strength, organic instincts, gross bulk, and works that belong to these. But the central wisdom, which was old in infancy, is young in fourscore years, and dropping off obstructions, leaves in happy subjects the mind purified and wise.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“All sin tends to be addictive, and the terminal point of addiction is what is called damnation.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
“How soon country people forget. When they fall in love with a city it is forever, and it is like forever. As though there never was a time when they didn’t love it. The minute they arrive at the train station or get off the ferry and glimpse the wide streets and the wasteful lamps lighting them, they know they are born for it. There, in a city, they are not so much new as themselves: their stronger, riskier selves.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
