Distance to a LRT-2 Station from Another

By now, you get to know the distance from a MRT Station to another regardless of how many stations are between them. That is if you have already read Distance to a MRT-3 Station from Another.

We use LRT-2 train to transfer to either LRT-1 or MRT-3 on our way to destinations. If your current location is a LRT-2 station between LRT-1 and MRT-3, and your destination is Pasay Rotunda, which line are you going to use as your second train ride - Line 1 or Line 3? This is where the knowledge of distance comes in. You must use the line which is nearer to you, right? So, here's the complete information of distance between two LRT-2 train stations. Remember, distances here are not only computed between a station and its next station but from one station to all other stations.


Now in deciding which Line to use as second train ride, walk distance involved must also take into account. From LRT-2 Recto Station to LRT-1 D Jose Station, it's 345 meters approx. From LRT-2 Cubao Station to MRT-3 Araneta Center-Cubao Station, the walk is around 455 meters approx.

Distance to a MRT-3 Station from Another

Knowing the distance is so important in travelling. In a very populous city like Metro Manila where commuter trains play major role in daily commute for the majority, one has an advantage if he knows the distance between two train stations. Why? Because our commuter trains are always jam-packed especially during peak hours. Walking to your destination located near to the next station instead of squeezing yourself into a jam-packed train is sometimes more practical. Furthermore, if your destination is way too far from your current location, then at least you know how far you're going to travel.

Here is the first of our series about approximate distances between Metro Manila train stations. And this particular guide I have created is for MRT-3 Metrostar which is also known as Metro Rail Transit LIne-3. Watch for upcoming posts about distance between two stations of LRT-1, LRT-2 and the PNR Commuter Train.
