Also, did you notice any bike racks in the stations? How about accessibility ramps? Were you able to look at the bathrooms to see if they are accessible for persons with disabilities? I see tactile flooring in your photos!

Remember the Manila Central Post Office that burned down over a year ago? We got a chance to step inside the building. Here’s an exclusive inside look @here https://www.rappler.com/philippines/metro-manila/video-exclusive-look-inside-manila-central-office-after-fire-2024/

@Pia Ranada the MIA station is close to NAIA! I'm hoping that they would offer/announce a shuttle service to the airport to help commuters get to the airport without a fuss!

No bike racks yet (for Dr. Santos Station at least, since that's where we were toured lang) There are accessibility ramps, as well as lactation rooms. I didn't notice if there were elevators, but the station does have an escalator

Also: the Light Rail Manila Corporation has released a fare matrix including the 5 new southbound stations!

The demand has always been there, and the trains will hopefully lessen the burden around those areas. (Probably parts of Cavite too since Phase 2 is currently under construction up to Niog).

In Case You Missed It: Did you know that Cavite's first premium point-to-point bus service, launched on November 18, connects commuters directly to all terminals of Ninoy Aquino International Airport with special rates for overseas Filipino workers?
