THE Light Rail Manila Corp. (LRMC) said it has reopened the ground-floor entrance and exit gates at the Light Railway Transit (LRT-1) Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX) Station (northbound), for better commuter access.
LRMC President and CEO Enrico Benipayo said the operator also installed a dedicated pedestrian crossing to streamline the daily commute, providing passengers with an additional entry and exit point and more options for navigating between the rail line and the bus terminal.
“Our priority is to ensure that our passengers enjoy a safe, reliable, and convenient commuting experience. By expanding the access points at LRT-1 PITX Station, we are giving commuters more flexibility and a direct link to multi-modal transit options at PITX,” Benipayo said.
“This is just one of the initial improvements and developments being implemented, as we are actively rolling out additional initiatives to enhance passenger comfort and convenience further,” he added.
The development followed a recent joint inspection conducted by Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon at LRT-1 PITX Station.
Benipayo said LRMC would continue to work closely with government grantors, including the DOTr and the Light Rail Transit Authority, as well as PITX management to implement long-term access solutions for the commuting public.
