MRT and LRT: The Best Transporations to Beat Metro Manila Traffic

One of the best ways to beat the traffic is to take the MRT and the LRT.  With these, you can accurately calculate your time travel.  No more making excuses for cause of delay or tardiness at work!



To efficiently and effectively use these modes of transportation, the following tips work best:

1.       If you frequently use these modes of transportation, it is best to buy a pre-paid card.  It only costs PhP100.  Aside from saving time from falling in line to get the ticket, you also save money with the “Bonus Last Ride”.

2.       The coolest areas are those in between the trains, the accordion like areas.  This is where the air-conditioners are located. It is always the most spacious area because people hardly squeeze themselves in.

3.       If you are a senior citizen, handicapped or a female, it is best to use the first train.

4.  When I am from Ayala or Buendia and I am heading North, I usually make a roundtrip so I can have a seat.  I take the train bound for Taft.  When it reaches this station, I do not get off.  Instead I take the time to choose the best seat and then wait until the train heads north.
