Manila Light Rail Transit Line 1 (LRT1) with their Landmarks

Fares and Tickets

Since the beginning LRT 1 initially started using token amounting of Php 10.00 for you to access the LRT facility. I remember the days that when buying token was easy and convenient. Many establishments are selling tokens within the vicinity of each LRT stations.

LRT Administration made some upgrade of their facilities after few years. They started selling electronic tickets. Wherein you can purchase single journey ticket from Php 12.00 to the maximum amount of Php 15.00 and the other one called Store Value amounting of Php 100.00. Which enables you to use it as many as you can.

Having a Store Value ticket you can use it to the fullest until the last peso. For example, if you buy a single journey ticket it will cost you around Php 12.00. But if you purchase store value that has an equivalent to 4 rides back and forth already (12 x 8= Php 96.00). And you still have remaining Php 4.00 on your store value card. Therefore you have 1 FREE RIDE going to your next destination and you save Php 8.00 for that 1 ride.

Let me give you some landmarks of each LRT Station as your guide or reference going to your desired destination.
