Metro Manila’s rail systems may not be talked about for the
best reasons, but they’re still some of the fastest and cheapest ways
to get around. The 20-stop Yellow Line, the oldest of all three that
run through the metro, enters Manila from Quezon City through
the R. Papa Station and exits to Pasay after Vito Cruz. In this issue,
we’ll explore five stops (out of 12 in the capital) from the Yellow
Line and the different neighborhoods that surround them. Pull out
your Beep card, and come along!
