A DAY ON THE PURPLE LINE

Was travelling to Antipolo on the LRT 2 when I fancied using my new Nokia 3230's 1.35 megapixel camera. Since cameras are not allowed inside all train systems in the Metro, maybe there are some things a phone camera can capture that a normal camera cannot. Here's what we got.



Going up the Santolan Station


Why is her name spelled completely compared to, say, Legarda or Recto's? *peace sign*

The sleek interiors of the Purple Line, a project made possible through Japan's JICA

Recto Station at night

Kapit, kapit...kapit!

Manila whizzes past below

The yellow sign says, "Do not lean on door."



Can't wait to be home....

Coping mechanisms: Two students find ways of surviving a ride home.


End of the line!

I like the LRT 2 line. It's rarely as packed and it's still clean. When will the other lines take lessons from LRT 2 managers?

LRT1 is managed by the same company managing LRT2 - the Marcos-era Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA).

And yet the two lines are like night and day. LRT 1 is a cesspool. Why didn't they connect the LRT 1 and 2 then?

They are connected at LRT1's Doroteo Jose (d.Jose) Station :-) There's a walk bridge connecting it to LRT2's Recto Station.
