Copies of the new matrices were posted at strategic areas of the stations so passengers could immediately see them.

 

The DOTC also posted the new fare matrices for the LRT Lines 1 and 2 and for the MRT online.

 

The new base fare will be P11 from the current P10 with P1 per additional kilometer.

 

Abaya said the increased rates will bring improved services on the MRT and LRT lines.
