WHY DOESN’T MANILA HAVE A MIDNIGHT TRAIN? 🚃
A post by a social media user about the schedules of trains in Metro Manila ignited a discussion online.
“You know what really doesn’t make sense here in Metro Manila? How the last rides of trains are between 8:30 to 10:30 PM,” X (formerly Twitter) user Karen Sison wrote.
Sison added that Metro Manila, which she said is a “city with so many call centers and night shift jobs,” has a range of last train schedules that “is way too early.”
One X user quipped: “Feeling ko talaga, totoo ito kaya hindi 24 hours ang operation ng MRT/LRT,” referring to a cult-favorite ‘Shake Rattle & Roll’ episode about trains.
“By comparison, other Asian systems like Bangkok's, Hong Kong's, Jakarta's, Kuala Lumpur's, or Singapore's close at either just a little before midnight or later daily,” another user commented.
According to the Light Rail Manila Corporation, which runs LRT-1, its weekday operations start at 4:30 a.m. at both Baclaran and Roosevelt stations. Meanwhile, the last train leaves the Baclaran Station at 10 p.m. and Roosevelt Station at 10:15 p.m.
Meanwhile, the weekday operating hours of LRT-2, according to the Light Rail Transit Authority, start at 5 a.m. at both Antipolo and Recto stations. Meanwhile, the last train leaves at the Antipolo Station at 9 p.m. and Recto Station at 9:30 pm.
For MRT-3, the first train leaves North Avenue Station at 4:36 am and its last trip is 9:30 p.m. On the other hand, the first train leaves Taft Avenue Station at 5:18 a.m. and the last trip is at 10:11 p.m.
Social media users seemed to agree that train schedules in Metro Manila should be adjusted to align with the Filipino way of life. | via https://t.co/WPGSeTgU4D Marwin Elao
Well, if Leni Robredo were President, UP's budget would not be cut, nor would there be 10 billion in confidential funds, nor would flying around the world be more important than fixing corruption. That's my guess. Young Filipinos should advocate for more intelligent voting.
