MANILA,Philippines,Nov. 18,2024 --Alstom,a global leader in smart and sustainable mobility,has completed the Manila Light Rail Transit Line 1 (LRT-1) Cavite Extension,which entered into revenue service on 16 November 2024. The new extension was officially inaugurated on 15 November by the President of the Philippines,Ferdinand Marcos Jr.,accompanied by officials from the Department of Transport and representatives of Light Rail Manila Corporation (LRMC). This milestone marks Alstom's first fully integrated metro project in the Philippines,undertaken in a consortium led by Bouygues Travaux Publics.

The Phase 1 of the LRT-1 Cavite Extension adds 6.2 kilometres to the existing railway line and is expected to service up to 400,000 passengers per day upon completion. It covers five new stations: Redemptorist-ASEANA,Manila International Airport Road,Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX),Ninoy Aquino Avenue,and Dr. Santos (formerly Sucat). The Cavite Extension is designed to ultimately reduce the travel time between Baclaran,Pasay City and Bacoor,Cavite,from one hour and 10 minutes to just 25 minutes.

Alstom's comprehensive scope includes the complete project engineering and integration of the electromechanical railway system,the delivery of modern signalling systems (with ETCS Level 1 standard),advanced telecommunications,track works,power supply and overhead catenary systems.

"We are delighted to contribute to enhancing Manila's transportation infrastructure," said Toby Tiberghien,Managing Director,East Asia,Alstom.

Alstom also equipped the entire fleet of 60 trains,comprising four generations of rolling stock,with new onboard signalling equipment.
