[ DOTC Department Order No. 2014-014, December 18, 2014 ]
LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT (LRT) LINES 1 & 2 AND METRO RAIL TRANSIT (MRT) LINE 3 FARE ADJUSTMENT
Date Filed: 07 January 2015
Pursuant to the Medium-Term Philippine Development Plan (2011-2016), which directs the application of the "user-pays" principle in transportation service pricing, the Department is adopting a uniform distance-based fare scheme for the Light Rail Transit (LRT) Lines 1 and 2, and the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) Line 3.
It is envisioned that this fare scheme will result in an equitable distribution of government funds currently dedicated to subsidizing the operations of the above rail lines in Metro Manila to much-needed development projects and relief operations in other parts of Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao.
The distance-based fare scheme will be adopted using the PhP11.00 (base fare) + PhP1.00 (per kilometer) formula in accordance with: (1) the Board Resolution of the Light Rail Transit Authority with the concurrence of the Land Transportation Franchising Regulatory Board, and (2) the recommendation of the MRT-3 Office.
Attached herewith and made an integral part of this Department Order are the following annexes[*] :
| Annex "A" |
Revised LRT-1 Stored Value Fare Matrix |
| Annex "B" |
Revised LRT-1 Single Journey Fare Matrix |
| Annex "C" |
Revised LRT-2 Stored Value Fare Matrix |
| Annex "D" |
Revised LRT-2 Single Journey Fare Matrix |
| Annex "E" |
Revised MRT-3 Fare Matrix |
All previous Orders, Memoranda, and Issuances inconsistent herewith are deemed superseded and/or revoked accordingly.
This Order shall take effect fifteen (15) days after its publication in a newspaper of general circulation.
