The Department of Transportation (DOTr) plans to add four ticket booths at the Light Rail Transit Line 1 (LRT-1) PITX station to ease passenger congestion.
In a report by Bam Alegre on Unang Balita on Monday, DOTr Secretary Vince Dizon inspected the station to assess passenger conditions and the connection between the train system and the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX).
The DOTr said it plans to increase the number of ticket booths from seven to 11.
Passengers coming from PITX also raised concerns about the additional travel time needed to cross from the southbound to the northbound platform.
In response, a pedestrian crossing was opened at the ground level to make transfers more convenient, Alegre reported.
The DOTr also announced a new passenger flow route to further ease crowding at the station.— Lyjah Tiffany Bonzo/MCG, GMA News
