MRT firm files petition for P2 fare increase READ MORE:
Transportation Undersecretary Cesar Chavez said no fare adjustment was approved for the MRT-3 for the last eight years.
As of November 2022, the MRT3 system’s total expenses amounted to P8.96 billion, while the total revenue amounted only to P1.1 billion, resulting in a deficit of P7.8 billion or a government subsidy of P88.34 for every passenger. He said that the actual rates for end-to-end travel at the LRT-2 from Antipolo to Recto costs P178 per passenger, but only P30 is being charged.
At the same time, Villafuerte, president of the National Unity Party, appealed to President Marcos to suspend this fare-hike plan by the Light Rail Transit Authority and Metro Rail Transit Corp. , respectively, for LRT Lines 1 and 2 and for MRT Line 3 , as he did in April.
