	Manila Light Rail Transit System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Manila Light Rail Transit System, popularly known as the LRT, is the main metropolitan rail system serving the Metro Manila area in the Philippines.
		Although the system is referred to as a "light rail transit system", some would argue the system is more akin to a rapid transit (metro) system.
		The system is operated by the Light Rail Transit Authority, a branch of the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC).

	LRTA - The Light Rail Transit Association submission
		Light Rail Transit is a tried and tested technology which has evolved and developed over more than a century into the highly sophisticated and attractive transit systems that are in operation and built now.
		Light rail is, comparatively, discriminated against in other ways, for instance the contribution that utilities have to pay towards renewal of their equipment when this has to be moved to allow for the construction of a light rail or tramway line.
		Cities with modern tramways or light rail at the core of their public transport systems, fully integrated with bus networks which gather and distribute passengers to and from the light rail core are the only realistic options for getting people out of their cars and on to public transport.
