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 |
