LRT or MRT

Maybe both because for me they are the types of transportation that are used when going to places and also to avoid traffic. But there is still difference between the two of them, as you said mrt is always "siksikan" you cannot sit there anytime even if you are going to the office or going home its always like that. But using mrt you can go easily to different places while in lrt you can sit there smoothly and peacefully but there location is limited unlike mrt. As others say that lrt is for college students while mrt is for all.

i used to ride both. using LRT when i was still working in roxas blvd. everyday from monumento to gil puyat (gosh i thought i forgot the station) vice versa. when i transfer my job in ortigas i used the MRT. memorable? would it be the embarasing one? ha! ha! ha! I will never forget this day! at the LRT days, they don't have the control over the people coming in for the train. it was a rush hour. (guess you know what happened) an empty train came, so i was with my officemates. when the door opens up, i don't want to get in but i was pushed inside and yes i feel down, my whole body. then a guy helped me up but he keep on staring on me after wards that i said to myself i will remember his face so i will bump him next time.

I'm an MRT junkie LOL I ride it as often as I can. I hate the smell of buses and pollution so I'd rather endure all those "stresses" when you ride the MRT. I've only ridden the LRT twice and well, the experience wasn't as good as the MRT experience. The train cars didn't have enough air conditioning and there were just too much graffiti.

the lrt and mrt had become popular fast, as a mode of transport within the city. one is freed from the hassles of traffic and the highly polluted air inside the comfortable cars. the mrt are the better of the two. however, commuters wouldn't really care which one is available for the ride. what counts most is the fact that these mode of transport can be reliably to count upon, in terms of bringing us to our destination without the hassles of traffic.

LRT and MRT have different routes, and I use it whenever i feel i need to rush to my appointments, and i am never disappointed each I use these trains. The siksikan, tulakan and all, has become part of it, it becomes a normal way of taking these training for commuting. So if one could not really bite these, these are always other ways to travel to your destination, take the bus, take a taxi or a megataxi, or better yet, take your car. But i wager, taking commuter trains is a lot more quicker to arrive at your destination.

Oh My Gosh! I almost lost my shoe! I was bringing 2 boxes of Dolor's sapin-sapin, i was about to get off the station when the door opens, but somebody stopmed on my sandals, i lost it for a moment, good thing it didn't go all the way donw the train tracks. How sad.

Between me choosing MRT vs LRT 1 I would choose MRT since the trains are much better looking and is much comfortable there. The door too closes too loud in LRT 1 which makes your trip unpleasant everytime the door closes and opens. But if I would choose LRT2 vs MRT I would say its better to ride LRT2 since the place is much more cleaner to look at and the exits are much more easier to follow than MRT

i'll prefer lrt line 2. its cleaner and bigger than mrt and the old lrt line. the stations are also nice, you'll feel like your in a japan station. hahaha.. what i like about the new lrt line is that the train is not divided into cables. so you can go from the last unit to the driver since they are connected inside. between mrt and lrt, mrt shmpre. more units have running airconditioning systems compared to lrt. and the stations, lrt really sucks. tehey need to change evertyhing, its really a disaster.

I chose both because MRT and LRT because they cater to different places. If for example I would go to Makati or what I'll choose MRT while for Manila area I'll go for LRT regardless of the "siksikan" and "tulakan" thing. Besides, those are really part of the commuting experience her in the Philippines.

lrt is lot colder and more organized than mrt, correct me if im wrong.,

i think the LRT line from Recto to Santolan is less gruesome. i prefer that! about some funny experience, one time, while i was riding the train, a monotone of "PINOY AKO" (yep, the PBB theme song) echoed really loud and everyone started making faces. i was making faces too since i was thinking "who'd have their phone at that volume?" it went on from cubao station until i got off. YEP, turned out my little brother played a prank on me and left his cellphone inside my bag at max volume and called me non-stop. crazy kid.
