Manila
Manila got its first rapid transit line in 1984, when LRT Line 1 opened between Baclaran and Central Terminal. It was the first rapid transit service in Southeast Asia. In the four decades since, the network has added new lines. MRT Line 3 began service along EDSA at the end of 1999, and LRT Line 2 opened in 2003. In November 2024 Line 1 was extended south into Cavite, giving commuters from the south a way into the city without sitting in traffic.
