The approved fare scheme is cheaper than the Light Rail Manila Corporation's proposal

MANILA, Philippines – Fares for commuters taking the Light Rail Transit (LRT) Line 1 will be more expensive starting April 2.

This comes over a month after the Department of Transportation held a public hearing on the petition of the Light Rail Manila Corporation (LRMC) — the private company operating LRT1 — to implement fare increases.

The approved fare scheme is lower than the LRMC’s proposal:
