Rail Services
As of 2008, there are two different rapid transit systems in Metro Manila: the Manila Light Rail Transit System, or the LRT, and the Manila Metro Rail Transit System, or the MRT. The Yellow Line (LRT-1) and the Purple Line (MRT-2) form the LRT network, while the Blue Line (MRT-3) forms the MRT network, with 29 stations on the LRT and 13 stations on the MRT . Four more lines are proposed and would connect Metro Manila to the provinces of Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna and Rizal upon their completion.
The various lines are being coordinated in the Strong Republic Transit System under the following line names:
| Current line name | New line name |
|---|---|
| LRT Line 1 (LRT-1) | Yellow Line |
| MRT Line 2 (MRT-2) | Purple Line |
| MRT Line 3 (MRT-3) | Blue Line |
| PNR Northrail | Green Line |
| PNR Southrail | Orange Line |

Famous quotes containing the words rail and/or services:
“Old man, it’s four flights up and for what?
Your room is hardly any bigger than your bed.
Puffing as you climb, you are a brown woodcut
stooped over the thin rail and the wornout tread.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
