Manila:The Light Rail Manila Corp. (LRMC) has reopened the entrance and exit gates on the ground floor of the LRT-1 PITX Station. This move is intended to provide direct access for commuters transferring from the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX) bus terminal, as announced by LRMC President and CEO Enrico Benipayo.

According to Philippines News Agency, Benipayo stated that the reopening offers commuters an additional, comfortable entry and exit point between the rail line and the bus terminal. He emphasized that the primary objective is to ensure a safe, reliable, and convenient commuting experience for passengers.

The expansion of access points at the LRT-1 PITX Station aims to offer commuters more flexibility and a direct link to multi-modal transit options at PITX. Benipayo noted that this is part of the initial improvements being implemented, with more initiatives planned to further enhance passenger comfort and convenience.

The reopening also features a dedicated pedestrian crossing to streamline the daily commute. This development follows a recent joint inspection by Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon at the LRT-1 PITX Station.

Benipayo highlighted that LRMC is working closely with the Department of Transportation (DOTr), the Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA), and PITX management to implement ongoing improvements and long-term access solutions. The company is committed to enhancing station accessibility, optimizing passenger flow, and improving overall transit connectivity across the LRT-1 system.
