It is an attached agency under the Department of Transportation (DOTr). The Authority owns two (2) of the light rail transit systems in the country located in Metro Manila, namely, the LRT Line 1 and LRT Line 2. The LRT Line 1 System began its full operations in May 1985 from Monumento, Caloocan city to Baclaran, Parañaque city. It was further extended towards the North in October 2010 with the construction of two (2) additional stations, the Balintawak and Roosevelt stations in Quezon city, forming part of the now twenty (20) stations of the system. Meanwhile, LRT Line 2 System began its operations in April 2004 with eleven (11) stations that traverses the Santolan, Pasig City to Recto in Manila. LRTA is currently the monitoring arm of the Concession Agreement with DOTr and its private concessionaire, Light Rail Manila Corporation (LRMC) for the operations and maintenance of LRT Line 1 System and the construction of its extension to Bacoor, Cavite. LRTA also acts as the Public Transport Operator (PTO) under a Service Level Agreement (SLA) with AF Payments Inc. (AFPI) in maintaining Line 1’s ticketing system through the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) scheme. Thus, LRTA only operates the LRT Line 2 System while its maintenance is outsourced to the Maintenance Contractor, Autre Porte Technique Global, Inc. Multi-Scan Corporation & Opus Land Inc., JV (referred to AMSCO-JV), which services commenced on December 19, 2018. With the foregoing developments, the operational and financial aspects reported for the period under review are focused on the following functions of LRTA: the administration and management of the Line 2 System, the Concession Agreement monitoring of Line 1, its performance as a PTO under the SLA and its project management/supervision of the Line 2 East Extension Project and Line 2 West Extension Project as well as its share in the Government’s responsibility as regards the construction of the Line 1 South (Cavite) Extension under PPP scheme. This report focuses on the LRTA Line 2’s operational and financial performance for the 1st semester of CY 2020 as well as the major Programs/Projects and Activities (PPAs) and Good Governance-related initiatives of the Authority implemented within the period under review. LRTA CY2020 1st Semester Accomplishment Report | 3 LRTA CY2020 1st Semester Accomplishment Report | 4 I. Key Policy Issuances Consistent with the government priorities and initiatives in mitigating the impact of this year’s COVID-19 pandemic, the agency has executed the following general administration related policy issuance and Board resolutions on matters pertaining to its response to the said pandemic: “…The Board passed upon and approved the remittance of One Billion (P1,000,000,000.00) Pesos to the Bureau of Treasury (BTr) in compliance with the Department of Finance (DOF) letter dated 1 April 2020 pursuant to Republic Act (RA) No. 11469 known as the “Bayanihan to Heal as One Act” for the implementation of the emergency measures undertaken to contain the spread of the COVID-19. RESOLUTION NO. 007-2020 RESOLVED AS IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED TO APPROVE THE SUPPLEMENTAL CY 2020 ANNUAL PROCUREMENT PLAN FOR THE PROCUREMENT OF SUPPLIES, MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT NECESSARY FOR THE COVID 19 REQUIREMENTS. LRTA CY2020 1st Semester Accomplishment Report | 5 6 A. Operational Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) Ridership LRTA’s ridership closes the 1st semester of 2020 with a LRT 2 Ridership as of June 2020 ridership patronage of 8.23 Variance Variance Million, a 1.23% higher than Target 2020 Actual 2020 Actual 2019 from Target from 2019 what was targeted this year (%) (%) yet a significant drop of 73% Ridership (In Millions) 8.13 8.23 29.94 1.23% -73% compared to the same Daily Average 76,677 77,602 169,139 1.21% -54% period last year. Highest Daily 148,444 226,851 -35% Ridership for the Year The notable decrease from Date Jan 9 (Thu) Mar 1 (Fri) last year’s data can be attributed by the following factors: declared holidays, class suspensions, free rides, provisional services, K-12 implementation, stoppage of operations caused by earthquakes and the reduced number of trains running in the Revenue Line. Back in 2019, two major events in the revenue line greatly affected the line operations until this year: the train collision incident in May 2019 and the fire incident in October 2019 which damaged the Rolling Stock Substations Nos. 5 and 6, including other auxiliary system. Degraded operations was put in motion starting October 2019 and different transportation modes have been continuously deployed with the help of other government and private agencies, to cater the affected passengers from Antipolo to Cubao and vice versa. Initial steps were put into motion to return to full operations in the next 9 months. The Restoration of Damaged / Burnt Cable Trays, Walkways and other Appurtenances near OCS Pole 370 (between Anonas and Katipunan Station) Project was completed on June 29, 2020. Meanwhile, the project for the Restoration of Rectifier Substation (RSS) Nos. 4, 5 and 6 and Various Line 2 System Equipment was awarded to NAR Power while the two projects to restore signaling and telecoms equipment damaged by fire is for commencement of procurement. However, the biggest impact in this year’s ridership is due to the COVID-19 pandemic which forced the National Government to place parts of the country, including the National Capital Region (NCR); in a series of community quarantines which halted LRT Line 2 operations from 17 March to 31 May 2020.

For the 1st sem of 2020, the LRT Line 2 System has operated 106 days for the 1st semester this year with a 71 days difference compared to last year’s 177 days of operations.

The current RSS can only accommodate five (5) trains operating on the line, while two (2) trains are alternately grounded for repair or maintenance. This brings a Headway of 9 minutes and a loop time of 45 minutes.

  • 4) Shops Around LRT Stairs at All LRT Stations, Food Stall and Copying
    MMUTIS Appendices 4) Shops around LRT stairs At all LRT stations, food stall and copying service are operating under the LRT stairs. They occupy the space not only under the stair but also in the outer area depriving space for passengers and pedestrians. 5) Loading and unloading activities of jeepneys Jeepneys are more convenient for passengers because they stop at any point along the route to pick up or unload passengers. From the viewpoint of efficient traffic operation, disorderly behaviour of jeepney is a main factor that reduces the capacity. The problem is often observed at the exit side of intersection and in front of LRT station. In the former case, vehicles queuing inside the intersection block the flow on the crossing street. In the latter case, jeepney even waits on the busy street until they get enough passengers. They pay little attention to the impact that they give on the traffic flow. 9.9 Proposed Improvement Plan Improvement plans have been prepared for the bottleneck and problematic intersection/area along the route. In addition, rehabilitation of street lighting facility, application of pavement markings and removal of shops around LRT stairs are proposed for the entire route. Measures that can be implemented under the existing condition are selected and proposed here. Further study is necessary for some measures, as there are other projects or plans such as LRT Line 2 or EDSA LRT at these locations, which create additional demand or change in the pattern of vehicular and pedestrian movements. As mentioned above, congestion is created by the fact that there are many pedestrians along the route, particularly near LRT stations, while sidewalk is narrow and often occupied by street vendors.

  • 5. PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION TERMINAL MEDIUM-TERM DEVELOPMENT PLAN 5.1 Selection of the Priority Projects Public Transportation Term
    METRO MANILA U RBAN T RANSPORTATION INTEGRATION STUDY TECHNICAL R EPORT N O. 5: TRANSPORTATION TERMINALS 5. PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION TERMINAL MEDIUM-TERM DEVELOPMENT PLAN 5.1 Selection of the Priority Projects Public transportation terminals are indispensable facilities in ensuring the effectiveness and convenience of the public transport network configuration. Since existing terminal areas were identified as a serious traffic bottleneck in the Metro Manila urban transportation system, the need for terminal development has been recognized in order to eradicate traffic congestion. All transportation nodes and terminals, including bus stops and jeepney loading/ unloading places, should be carefully designed to ensure the smooth and safe flow of general road traffic and the effectiveness of public transport operation. The priority terminal projects for the Medium-Term Development Plan can be justified as the project which are: a) which are required to examine a development strategy and can be incorporated with urban development; b) which are planned on the high priority rail-based transport system; c) which are expected to have large volumes of demand; and d) which will be a reference of other terminals in the long-term development program.

  • The Project for Capacity Development on Transportation Planning and Database Management in the Republic of the Philippines
    Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) The Project for Capacity Development on Transportation Planning and Database Management in the Republic of the Philippines MMUTIS Update and Enhancement Project (MUCEP) Manual vol. 3 Urban Transportation Planning December 2015 ALMEC Corporation Oriental Consultants Global Co., Ltd PREFACE The acceleration of economic activities and population concentration in Metro Manila and other cities in the Philippines has caused severe social problems such as traffic congestion, traffic accidents, and deterioration of the living environment. The development of the public transportation network is crucial in tackling these problems. In addition, investment in infrastructure development is essential to realize a sustainable economic growth. Metro Manila, in particular, requires a transportation policy to facilitate a modal shift from private cars to public transportation by developing and integrating transportation networks and strengthening linkages between transportation modes. It is within this context that the Government of Japan has provided technical assistance to the Philippines’ Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and other related agencies through the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) in conducting a capacity development project entitled “The Project for Capacity Development on Transportation Planning and Database Management in the Republic of the Philippines.” MUCEP, as the project is known (short for MMUTIS Update and Capacity Enhancement Project), has been carried out for more than four years, starting on 27 September 2011 and completing on 30 November 2015. The overall project goal of MUCEP is to enable the DOTC to prepare a public transportation plan for Metro Manila for strategic corridors by strengthening their capacity in transportation database management and public transportation network planning.

    Japanese ODA Loan Ex-Ante Evaluation (for Japanese ODA Loan) 1. Name of the Project Country: The Republic of the Philippines Project: North – South Commuter Railway Project (Malolos - Tutuban) Loan Agreement: November 27 2015 Loan Amount: 241,991 million yen Borrower: The Government of the Philippines 2. Background and Necessity of the Project (1) Current State and Issues on Development of the Railway Sector in Metro Manila and Mega Manila Being the largest economic center in the Philippines with a concentration of 13 percent of the country’s population and 36 percent of the GDP, Metro Manila has grown from 7.92 million people in 1990 to 11.85 million people in 2010, reaching a population density of 191.3 people per square hectare. In Mega Manila - the region encompassing Metro Manila along with neighboring three Provinces - the population has also increased rapidly over that period, rising from 12.93 million people in 1990 to 23.02 million people in 2010, a growth rate has been increasing in accordance with that of Metro Manila. The improvement of circumferential and radial roads and highways in Metro Manila that was proposed in the “The Study on Metro Manila Urban Transport Integration in the Republic of Philippines” in 1972 supported by JICA has shown a steady progress. However, the development of effective railway transportation still lags behind in general. Operation area of three Light railway transit remained in Metro Manila with their total length of only 50 kilometers. One non-electrified commuter line with a low service frequency that is operated by the Philippine National Railways (hereinafter referred to as “PNR”) is running about 28 kilometers from Tutuban in the City of Manila to Alabang in the City of Muntinlupa in Metro Manila southward, while railway in Metro Manila northward has not been developed.

  • Metro Manila Transport Project, Phase 1 TA Report 51117-002 Annex 3-1
    Metro Manila Transport Project, Phase 1 TA Report 51117-002 Annex 3-1 TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR CONSULTANTS I. INTRODUCTION 1. Manila Traffic. The traffic conditions in Manila are deteriorating resulting in economic loses and social costs to all. The government has developed an overarching plan to improve the transport situation through both large infrastructure projects and system operations improvements. NEDA is preparing the Roadmap for Transport Infrastructure Development for Greater Capital Region with the help of the Government of Japan, which build on the previous five transport plans for the city. Key to the plan is the development of large infrastructure such as the Mega Metro Subway, commuter rail service, expressway connections and additional bridges across the rivers. The proposed loan is directly aligned with the Manila transport plans and will augment the major infrastructure proposals through support for system management and operations improvement, notably along the main transport corridor in the city. The assistance can address many of the challenges facing the city transport system and the flexibility to adapt to the changing circumstances and priorities of the government. 2. The Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA) is the major transport corridor in the National Capital Region (NCR). The corridor serves all main modes of transport and suffers severe congestion. The congestion is getting worse, resulting in economic loss, social and gender exclusion, and deteriorating air quality and road safety. Urgent action is required to improve EDSA and reduce the cost of transportation to allow continued and sustainable development of the city. 3. The economic engine of the Philippines.
