7. Exclusive Community: The development is designed to be an exclusive gated community, offering privacy and security for its residents. This can be particularly appealing for families and individuals looking for a safe and serene environment.

Fastest way to travel in Metro Manila. Clean and attractive rail cars. Polite passengers. Seats designated in each car for elderly, disabled and pregnant women.

To use the train system one must be in good physical condition since there are many stairs to climb and descend. Number of stair flights differ at different stations. Some stations have elevators, (Libertad, Magallanes, and Ayala (possibly others).

The US State Department web site advises Americans not to ride trains, buses, jeepneys or tricycles.
I have ridden all of them many times in 5 years. Have never had a bad experience in the stations or on the trains.

Near the front of the train there are usually two cars for female passengers. They may be accompanied by a child or children and a male friend or relative. There is a guard at their boarding area on the platform.
