In addition, they also have destination signs to inform passengers whether the trains are heading north or south. Since assuming the operations and management of LRT-1, we have increased the number of trains available to our customers by almost 50% and shortened waiting times.

A new app called TrainSight aims to make commuting in Metro Manila more convenient by allowing users to track MRT and LRT trains in real time. Developed by a team of Filipino developers, TrainSight provides real-time train locations, estimated arrival times, and crowd density information for commuters using Metro Manila's rail transit systems.
