Project Description
First and most urgent is the purchase of 48 additional coaches for LRT-1 that will cost around P3.8 billion.
Additional coaches will increase passenger load of trains and decrease the waiting time at the stations which is currently at 6-7 minutes.
The international standard is 2-3 minutes waiting time.
A refurbished BN ACEC 1st Generation LRV and Kinki Sharyo and Nippon Sharyo 3rd Generation LRV features a Active Route Map and the STARiS version 2.0 features real-time multi-purpose displays that features landmarks in the vicinity of a station when the train arrives at a station. Animated advertisements, including local commercials and movie trailers will also be available.
The 4-car BN ACEC 1st Generation LRV and Kinki Sharyo and Nippon Sharyo 3rd Generation LRV stainless steel trains feature electrically operated automatic sliding doors, larger gangway, air-conditioning, dedicated space for passengers with reduced mobility, route map in English & Traditional Chinese, LED display and announcement for passenger information, and luggage racks. They will be equipped with a regenerative braking system ensuring significant energy savings. These cars, although similar to their counterparts running on the LRT-1, they feature LCD showing the station number and station name in each car.
The trains underwent a four year mid-life refurbishment program, which was completed on 2 January 2017.
