n What is the Metro By Rail Project? |
|
The Metro by Rail Project is a campaign that will integrate leisure and educational tours using the LRT and MRT rail systems as the main modes of transportation. The tour is mainly a group tour where the participants will be treated a whole new experience through rail-based adventures featuring a view from the top of Manila’s urban landscape and a walkthrough on the LRTA operations, showcasing the newly-installed, state-of-the-art technologies on signalling and operations control. Guides and/or guest lecturers who will provide relevant historic and interesting information about the locations accompany the tours. Aside from the tours, the LRTA will bring
in other rail tourism activities such as the establishment of a rail
museum, rail souvenir shops and a Kids Park and Activity Center in the
Line 2 Depot in Santolan, Pasig City. More rail tourism events and
activities will be set up as the Project progresses. |
