DOTr defends LRT-1 fare hike amid calls to overturn it
Manila Bulletin
|April 2, 2025
The Department of Transportation (DOTr) has defended the fare increase for Light Rail Transit Line 1 (LRT-1), scheduled on Wednesday, April 2, despite calls to overturn it due to its impact on commuters.
In a statement on Tuesday, the DOTr emphasized that the fare adjustment was necessary to ensure the operational viability of the rail line.
It added that this was vital to sustain necessary upgrades for the “benefit of the commuting public.”
LRT-1 private operator Light Rail Manila Corp. (LRMC) announced in February that the DOTr’s Rail Regulatory Unit has approved its new fare formula.
Starting Wednesday, the minimum fare for single journey tickets will jump from P15 to P20.
Passengers taking the end-to-end journey, from Fernando Poe Jr. station in Quezon City to Dr. Santos station in Paranaque City, will now be paying P55 for a single journey ticket instead of P45.
Meanwhile, those using stored value cards will pay P52, up from the previous P43.
