The construction of the LRT-1 extension from Pasay City to Cavite province have begun on May 6. Covering nearly 21 kilometers, the project will attach 8 stations from Baclaran: Redemptorist, MIA, Asia World, Ninoy Aquino, Dr. Santos, Las Piñas, Zapote and Niog. According to the DOTr, five stations from Baclaran will be operational by the end of 2021.
Once completed, the extension will grow the LRT’s daily ridership to 800,000 from 458,000. It will also lessen travel time from Cavite to Baclaran to 25 minutes from 1 hour and 10 minutes.
