One of the most tangible benefits of this project is the significant reduction in travel time. The LRT-1 Cavite Extension will cut the travel time from Pasay to Cavite to 25 to 30 minutes, down from the current one hour and 30 minutes making the daily commutes faster and more efficient, saving residents valuable time that can be spent on other productive activities.
