Brief Description of the Project

The project aims to extend the existing 15km LRT Line 1 System southward by an additional 11.7km, of which approximately 10.5km will be elevated and 1.2km will be at-grade.  The Extension will start from the existing line's last station at Baclaran and will traverse the cities of Parañaque and Las Piñas in Metro Manila and reach the municipality of Bacoor.  The extension will initially include 8 new passenger stations with a provision of 2 additional passenger stations.  A satellite depot for light rail vehicle (LRV) storage and light maintenance will be located at the southern end of the proposed line. Intermodal facilities will also be installed at high-demand stations.   The project will also involve System Enhancement Works over the concession period, which would include fleets upgrade, replacement and capacity improvements.  A total of 64 LRVs will be added in 2020 and 8 LRVs in 2030.
